Utilizing full-core technology, the Thor Hammer provides a rock-steady, consistent feel akin to that of a one-piece construction. Paired with a phenolic joint and ferrule, it delivers unmatched control and explosive energy transfer on every break. This advanced construction not only gives you the technical edge, but has earned glowing reviews from players across the country.

Praised for its power and effortless hit, the Joss Thor Hammer break cue helps shooters achieve stronger, more consistent breaks from the very first rack. Its craftsmanship stands out, combining precision engineering with striking aesthetics. Available in piano black, rich Rosewood, and exotic Goncalo, it’s as beautiful as it is functional. Players call it “the best break cue I’ve ever used” and a “definite keeper,” highlighting both its reliability and professional-level playability.

Handmade in the USA since 1968, Joss Cues continue to set the standard for superior design and value. Every cue — from the leather tip to the rubber bumper — is crafted with exceptional attention to detail by Stephen Janes, son of legendary cue maker Danny Janes. True American craftsmanship at its finest.

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).
