Testimonials

Mr. Janes

Ra Hanna here, and on behalf of the Junior International Championships and everyone involved with the junior program at the International Open in St. Augustine, Florida, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of two beautiful pool cues.

Your kindness goes far beyond the value of the equipment. To these young players, a cue isn’t just a tool; it’s a symbol that someone believes in them and their future in this game. Your donation helps create moments they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, whether it’s the first time they compete with a “real” cue or the pride they feel if they earn one as a prize.

Support like yours is exactly what allows us to keep building opportunities, confidence, and community for the next generation of players. We are deeply grateful that you chose to invest in these kids and in the future of our sport.

Thank you again for your generosity, your support, and your belief in what we’re building with the Junior International Championships.

With sincere appreciation,

Ra Hanna

It’s truly a work of art, and it plays perfectly for me.
You can ask your dealer at the Vegas booth. I’m self-proclaiming myself as your number one fan.
He knows. He suggested reaching out about this idea.
If you ever need someone to leave you a review or if there’s anything I can ever do to help you, let me know.

People on the West Coast aren’t as familiar with Joss. There are a lot of Pechauers around here. But this cue has caught the attention of many - including a custom cue maker in Salem, OR. He’s teaching me how to work on cues, and he was particularly impressed with the hit of the HP Natural.
That shaft plays 10 times better than a Predator 314. And I don’t know if I can ever go back to carbon after playing with this shaft.

I’d really love the opportunity to shake your hand one day to thank you for this cue, cause it’s freaking amazing.
Maybe one of these years I’ll make it out to the Joss tournament.
I’m starting to plan my vacations around different pool destinations.

Thank you,

Justin

Your #1 Joss Fan

Hi Steve,

The cue you built for me is over-the-top.
It is a work of art.
It plays better than any I have ever held.
I really appreciate what you made for me.

Thanks,

Mark

This cue is absolutely beautiful!
Steve, you guys are amazing, thank you so much!!!!

Justin

Hi Steve!
I wanted to take a second to thank you again for my new cue!
It turned out to be so beautiful that I couldn't stop admiring it.
I noticed more details throughout the cue as I looked at it more.
You have made my vision for the cue come true by putting in so much time and effort.
There are no words to describe my love for this cue.
I'm honored to own a Joss custom cue and to say I worked with the best!
Thank you again, Steve!

Steve,

Today, I received my new Joss cue. WOW! Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you so much. I can't wait to use it.

I want you to know how important it is to me to support American-made products.

And the custom cue you made is over the top.
Thank you!

My Grandfather was a Cajun from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. He taught me a term that was common to Cajuns, it was "Lagniappe", pronounced.

"lawn yop".

It means " a little extra" given as a gift when something is purchased.
Your "extra" gifts hit home with me.
A very generous thing to do Steve.

Thank you so much!

I appreciate your masterful work and your generosity.

I will be a customer for life and will do my best to send you more business.

My very best to you, Steve.

Keep going, my friend.

Steve

Just received my model 20-06 today and played with it immediately. I could not be happier with the play, balance, and hit of this cue. Beyond those practical aspects, it is outstandingly beautiful! I have not owned a cue for 38 years, and back in the day I had a typical mother of pearl showpiece (by Billy Stroud). I chose this "plain-Jane" to go with a new attitude and lifestyle, but I have to say there is nothing "plain" about this gorgeous all-wood piece of artwork. Thank you for giving me something beyond what the price tag could ever express.

Hello Dan,

This is Russ from the Expo in Philly that was lucky enough to purchase #28. I want to send in a testimonial of how much I love my cue and the awesome customer support you provide.
The cue is perfect, and my stoke is improving as well. My admiration of Joss Cues started when I watched Stephen looking at my son's Joss. Greg (my son) loves his Joss, and I can't imagine him shooting with anything else.

As Stephen was looking at it he proceeded to say “I made that” as he told Greg about the materials he used. I was already sure that I would only buy an American-made cue, but the look in Stephen’s eye as he inspected his work was the icing on the cake.

It is no wonder he has won the Cue maker of the year award, and I believe one day will (like his father) be inducted into the American and International Cuemakers Hall of Fame.

I LOVE MY JOSS CUE!
Sincerely,
Russ

Greg

Dan, I have owned many "High End"Pro Cues in my life.

But NONE COMPARE to the feel, balance, and QUALITY of my JOSS cue!

This is my second one in the past 26 years of my passion for the game. I can not wait until I am able to get a "Custom" one from JOSS That has a couple of special things done to it!

While I have used many cues, I have always wanted another JOSS, and now I know why;

it is not just great, it is American Made Greatness!!!

Dan

I feel like a kid every time I get a package that says Joss Cues on it!

I get so excited and put everything else on hold until I get the cues out of the fine leather cases they come in and admire them!

I can’t tell you enough what a pleasure it is to do business with you and your family!

I am not a pro billiards player by any means but the beauty of your cues and the click I hear when I shoot with them is amazing!

I still remember my first Joss Cue I purchased from a friend of mine when I was in my 20’s!  It was the most well balanced best shooting cue I had ever held!  Unfortunately, it was stolen out of my house by a roommate.

To be able to connect with the man and his family behind the #1 cue in the world and to be able to collect such a fine collection of Joss Cues is another one of God's Blessings to me!

I have had people tell me I was the luckiest man they have ever met, and I reply, “Luck has nothing to do with it, I am Blessed!”

Thank you for the passion that you put into your business, it truly shows!

Hi Dan!

It’s a great day! We received the cue this morning!
It shipped safely and arrived intact.

You’ve made my husband a very happy man! Right now with no place open to shoot we will have to wait on his inaugural game.
But we will be giving the best word of mouth advertising and telling our pool league players about our story.
This cue is sure to generate interest as he is a local top ranked shooter in our area and in our league.

Thank you so much for being the most important part of our journey.
And thank you for all the extra effort you’ve put in.
It’s made all the difference in the world.

DAN, thank you for repairing my cue.
Very nice job.
Looks great!
Thanks again.

When I got home the cue was indeed delivered.
I can tell you that I don’t remember the last time I received such great service form a company, it’s no wonder that your cues hit so well if the same care is given to making them as it is given to the customer experience.
If there is ever anything that I can do to help your company’s good name than I would be happy to. In the mean time I will tell everyone who will listen no only how beautiful a job was done with the cue but how great the service was as well.
I wish you the best and thanks again!

Ft. Smith, AR

Good morning Dan,
I want to thank you for my new cue.
The custom cue you made for me is just fantastic, and the compliments I received when I showed it to the players I shoot pool with was outstanding.
Again I want to thank you for my cue and the wonderful craftsmanship.

Mel J

I received my 8" cue extension today, and it fits like a glove.
Thank you for taking the time to call me and help me with my order personally, I enjoyed our conversation.
When this is all over, I intend to purchase another Joss cue, I'd love to have you and your family sign it, but since I would be using it, it would ruin the signatures, lol.

Thank you again for another great product.
I hope to talk to you soon.

Jeff P

I must admit, I'm a little disappointed in the cue.
When shooting with the new cue, all of the balls didn't magically fall into the pockets. LOL

On a more serious note, the cue is beautiful. The stick has a very nice feel and shooting touch. I think I will enjoy the larger diameter shaft as I get used to it.
Having no clue about custom cues, I was surprised that the shaft was a much lighter, solid‑colored wood.
I assume that is standard, being a rookie.
It is still a very pretty cue.
Thank you very much for making it for me.

Thanks,

Kevin

Dan,

I received the cue on Saturday and have been playing with it every day.
I absolutely love it, the quality, the shaft, and the tip are perfect.
Thank you for taking the time to walk me through everything and all the advice.
It's obvious from talking to you and the quality of the cue that this is something that you love.

I will be telling everyone I play with how great my experience was.

Thanks again

Duncan Neely

Hi Dan,
I know you get a lot of emails, and it can be a burden, but I hope this one stands out.

Thank you very much for the wonderful work on my cue.
I just can't believe how new and spectacular it looks.
I played with my cue in bad condition for so long.
So long, in fact, that I forgot how eager I could feel about going and shooting pool, just from holding a beautifully crafted, clean, and polished cue.
I wish I could have afforded one of your custom cues, but I feel like this is the next best thing to getting a new stick.
This looks brand new after your re-wrap in a new color and a fantastic refinishing.
I'll keep this short, but I hope you know how much I appreciate the work you did.

Thank you very much,

James Reed

I received my 10-02, as promised.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! and balanced and everything a Joss Cues has.
Thanks so much for everything.
Sincerely,

John

Hi Dan,
I received my cue.
It's beautiful.
The clear-coat looks great. Love the color and the contrast to the shaft.
As far as looks go, it certainly exceeds my expectations.

I've only shot with it for an hour.
Big difference.
I'm 6'7," and this is my first extra-long cue. This one feels like I've got the weight behind me where it should be.
A lot more control.
I needed that, you were right. 60" is fine.
Feels like I've got an extra yard.

With the added control, I've lost a little english but I think I can get it back with a little practice. If not, I might go to a Kamui medium or soft.

Dan, you're a master, you did a great job.

I'm very pleased.
Best Regards,

 

Floyd

recommends Joss Cues: "cant thank Dan at Joss enough he did a wonderful job turning and resealing my shaft.
He answered all my questions and was happy to do it.
He got my shaft Thursday morning and at 1 pm he called confirmed my address and sent it back that afternoon.
I would recommend Joss very highly"

Starr Collins

Dan,

I wanted to tell you I got the cue today.

Spectacular job, thank you!

Frankly, the entire cue is beyond what I’d even hoped.

Unfortunately, I was only able to hit a few balls this morning before leaving for work but was able to tell in that short time that it hits just like a Joss cue always does, and there’s nothing better.

The longer length is perfect, and my hand is now on the wrap as I wanted. I love the simple yet elegant look, and it shouts quality.

BTW thanks for the extras, too.
I wasn’t expecting them.

It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Dear Joss-Team Today I received my Joss Cue after its long journey from Towson, MD USA across the Atlantic Ocean to Switzerland.

I am simply overwhelmed: What a wonderful, perfect craftsmanship!

The cue is so beautiful, and it's incredibly precise and efficient in play. It is definitely the best cue I have ever held in my hands.

I am now a happy and proud owner of a perfect Joss cue, and I thank you very much for your perfect work.

Great respect!

Best regards

Hi Steve,

This is by far my favorite stick to play with.

I have a few customers coming your way.

Frank Google review Very professional. Awesome cues.

Very experienced.

Works of art.

Debbie & Stephen

I opened up the package over the weekend and I'll admit I was at a loss for words when I first viewed my cue. It's probably an understatement to say... WOW, it's beautiful. Stephen is obviously a very talented and gifted craftsman in the pool cue arts! Attention to detail is a talent that is sometimes underappreciated but one that Stephen fully grasps. I've always believed that confidence in your equipment is one of the most important factors in any sport, and maybe even more so in the pool game. For almost 50 years, I've trusted my Joss cues (I also have a Joss Sneaky Pete) and will continue to do so as long as I can still play. Thanks so much for everything you guys have done for me!

Pat

Just wanted to let you know that my cue made it back home today. 

It looks great, and I can't wait to try it out

Thanks again, and wonderful work

Jake

First, I want to say a Joss cue was the first nice cue I ever owned. Bought a used cue from my first league team captain almost 20 years ago and have owned at least 6 since then.

I finally bought a Thor Hammer break cue and was super stoked until I found a crack running under the ferrule on the shaft. I called Joss, and they said to send us the shaft and let us look at it. I sent it, and the same day that it arrived, I got an email saying your new shaft had shipped.

Needless to say, I was beyond impressed with their ease of contact and readiness to stand behind their work and word. I’ve always loved the cues, but this speaks volumes as well!

Thank you!

Jake
