Tigerwood Break Cue Performance

The Thor Hammer is a Tigerwood Break Cue designed for players seeking explosive power, solid control, and dependable results.
Joss designed this cue specifically for one of the most important shots in pool.
As a result, players gain the confidence to attack the rack with authority while maintaining cue-ball control.

Moreover, the Thor Hammer combines premium Brazilian Tigerwood, advanced construction techniques, and decades of cue-making expertise.
Together, these features create a break cue that delivers exceptional performance from the opening break to the final game of the night.

Tigerwood Break Cue Construction

To begin, Joss crafts the Thor Hammer from Goncalo Alves, commonly known as Tigerwood or Brazilian Tigerwood.
This South American hardwood is famous for its strength, density, and remarkable durability.

In addition, Tigerwood displays dramatic grain movement and rich natural contrast.
As light moves across the cue, the wood reveals bold patterns and visual depth.
Consequently, every cue possesses a distinctive appearance that immediately captures attention.

Because wood is a natural material, no two cues look exactly alike.
Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, each Thor Hammer develops its own unique character.

Choose the Right Break Style

Joss offers the Thor Hammer in two distinct versions because every player approaches the break differently.

The Thor Hammer Light emphasizes speed and acceleration.
Therefore, it allows players to generate tremendous cue-ball velocity and open the rack with explosive force.

Meanwhile, the Thor Hammer Heavy relies on additional mass to create crushing impact and controlled power.
Consequently, it appeals to players who prefer a more deliberate and commanding break.

Either version allows players to take advantage of the laws of motion while matching the cue to their personal style.

Full-Core Technology and Break Power

Beyond its beautiful appearance, the Thor Hammer delivers advanced performance thanks to Joss’s full-core construction.
This design creates a solid, consistent feel similar to that of a one-piece cue.

Furthermore, full-core technology promotes long-term stability while providing dependable feedback on every shot.
As a result, players enjoy greater confidence and consistency at the table.

The cue feels powerful, balanced, and ready for competition.

Phenolic Joint Energy Transfer

Joss pairs the Thor Hammer with a phenolic joint to maximize energy transfer.
This combination allows the cue to deliver tremendous power directly into the cue ball while maintaining excellent control.

In addition, the phenolic joint provides a crisp, responsive feel.
Consequently, players experience explosive breaks without sacrificing accuracy.

Shot after shot, the Thor Hammer performs with authority and consistency.

Built for Serious Breakers

The Thor Hammer was created for players who understand the importance of a strong break.
Whether competing in tournaments, league matches, or serious practice sessions, this cue delivers the performance needed to start every rack with confidence.

Moreover, its premium materials and proven engineering make it a dependable companion for years of competitive play.
