Six Point Maple Cue Craftsmanship

To begin, Joss selects high-figure curly maple for the forearm and other key components of the cue.
Before construction begins, Stephen carefully evaluates every piece of maple for grain quality, density, and long-term stability.

Next, a hand-rubbed walnut stain enhances the wood’s natural figure.
As light moves across the surface, the grain creates a remarkable three-dimensional effect that reveals depth and movement from every angle.

Many players know curly maple as fiddleback maple because violin makers have prized it for generations.
Likewise, cue makers value it for its beauty, strength, and distinctive character.

Because wood is a natural material, every cue develops its own appearance.
Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, no two Joss 20-04 cues look exactly alike.

Six-Point Design with Pearl Accents

The defining feature of the Joss 20-04 is its elegant six-point forearm design.
Three short black points feature pearl diamond inlays, while three longer points showcase figured curly maple centers.

Together, these elements create a balanced and visually striking appearance.
Furthermore, the contrasting colors and pearl accents add depth and sophistication without overwhelming the maple’s natural beauty.

As a result, the cue maintains a classic look while offering enough detail to stand apart from ordinary production cues.

Traditional Irish Linen Wrap

A traditional black Irish linen wrap with white specks completes the cue.
Joss hand-presses every wrap to provide a smooth finish and dependable feel.

In addition, players appreciate Irish linen for its secure grip, lasting comfort, and excellent control.
Whether practicing for hours or competing under pressure, the wrap delivers consistent performance.

For generations, Joss has proudly offered Irish linen wraps, and many serious players continue to prefer them today.

Stainless-Steel Joint Performance

The Joss 20-04 features a stainless-steel joint polished to a mirror finish.
Not only does the joint enhance the cue’s appearance, but it also delivers crisp feedback and a firm, reliable hit.

Many experienced players favor stainless-steel joints for their consistent response and traditional feel.
Consequently, this design remains one of the most respected choices in cue construction.

Full-Core Construction Advantage

Beyond its visual appeal, the Joss 20-04 is built to perform.
Full-core construction extends from the butt plate to the joint, creating a solid one-piece feel throughout the cue.

Furthermore, this design helps control warpage while promoting long-term stability.
Players immediately notice the cue’s consistency, balance, and dependable feedback.

Whether drawing the cue ball, controlling position play, or navigating difficult layouts, the Joss 20-04 responds with confidence and precision.
