Shimmering mother of pearl inlays add a touch of whimsy to the Joss JOS26 pool cue. These inlays are found in a stacked notched diamond motif on the sleeve as well as in single formation on the forearm. Brown stained Birdseye Maple ebony and a black and white Irish linen wrap provide attractive settings to make the inlays shine. Joss takes the profession of cue making very seriously and gives every cue personal attention right down to the unique serial number on the stainless steel joint. It is this joint and the short tapered thick shaft that provides the cues stiff hit preferred by many players.
