Joss 10-12 Pool Cue | Classic Elegance, Intricate Inlays, Unmatched Performance

The Joss 10-12 is the kind of cue that stops people mid-rack—rich cocobolo up front, bright curly maple accents, and point work that looks razor-sharp from every angle. Cocobolo can show dramatic color variation (reds, oranges, browns, and darker streaking), so each cue has its own one-of-a-kind personality.

Design and Craftsmanship

The design ties together beautifully: curly maple point centers framed by multi-color veneers, plus a rear section of solid curly maple dressed with an intricate cocobolo inlay pattern and finished with a classic Hoppe-style butt plate. The traditional black-with-white-spot Irish linen wrap is hand-pressed for a secure, “no-slip” feel that stays comfortable for long sessions.

Performance and Playability

Joss builds the 10-12 with a full-length core that runs from the butt plate to the joint—adding warp resistance, improving shot consistency, and giving the cue a more unified, one-piece style hit. Add Joss’s mirror-polished stainless steel joint, and you get clean feedback with a crisp, confident response at contact.

Tip Upgrade Service

Budget Billiards offers a custom tip upgrade service, allowing you to choose the perfect tip for your playing style. Installation typically takes just 1-2 days.

Joss Cues Heritage & Craftsmanship
Joss Cues® are handcrafted in the USA in Towson, Maryland by the Janes family team led by Stephen Janes, who learned cue making under his father, Dan Janes—the founder of Joss Cues. Dan and his good friend Bill Stroud started the Joss Cue Company in 1968 (the word “Joss” means luck), and in 1972 Dan bought Bill out and expanded Joss into one of the most recognized American cue brands.

Dan was known for staying ahead of the market—standardizing joint sizes early so shafts could be interchangeable, transitioning from V-groove points and pantograph work into CNC-machined points and inlays, and pioneering unique handle-joining techniques seen in some of his “hustler” style cues. He was inducted into the International Cuemakers Hall of Fame (2012), inducted into the American Cuemakers Association Hall of Fame (2003), and received the ACA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022. Dan passed away on June 20, 2023.

Stephen continues that legacy with the same integrity, precision, and playability-first standards Joss is known for—and was recognized as the ACA Cuemaker of the Year (2017).
