The classic and the contemporary come together on the Joss JOS21 Pool Cue, as the forearm and butt sleeve contrast yet complement each other in their display of patterns not typically paired together. The forearm features the classic Natural-stained Birdseye Maple with four rich Ebony points and White holly and Ebony veneers, while the sleeve is composed of deep-grained Ebony with pure White Holly and Ebony windows with holly dash rings is a truly unique design. The two seemingly contrasting patterns actually complement each other when paired with the White spec Irish Linen wrap, designed for a sure grip. Joss has been preserving the traditional look and values of old-time cue making for over 32 years. When you buy a Joss cue, you're doing so much more; you're buying a real family effort with distinctive character and decades of tradition.
