Joss has been taking the profession of cue making very seriously since 1968 and the Joss JOS12 pool stick exemplifies their penchant for detail. Birdseye Maple on the forearm is decorated with alternating points of lacewood with ebony and diamond shaped white holly inlays. The sleeve is ebony with lacewood windows white holly diamonds and horizontal lines and mother of pearl notched clover inlays. Detail is also found in the unique serial number located on the stainless steel joint. This joint combined with the short thick taper gives the cue a stiff hit.
