Rich in color and smooth to the touch, the bloodwood handle offers a warm, natural feel that no linen or leather wrap can replicate. Flanking the grip on either side are black inlaid splice rings, each accented with a notched pearl diamond — one above and one below — providing a crisp, jewel-like transition between grip and wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forearm is unstained curly maple, showcasing the wood's natural figure and grain in its most honest form. No dye, no tint — just the organic beauty of high-quality maple allowed to show what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear butt sleeve carries the detailing further with a series of notched pearl diamonds set inside black fluted diamonds, which extend outward to form six rectangular maple inlays. The pattern is precise, symmetrical, and refined — giving the back of the cue a rhythm that mirrors the elegance of the front without repeating it exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20-101 is one of only a handful of Joss models that forgoes the brand's signature stainless steel joint in favor of a black implex collar. For players who prefer the softer, more connected feel of a wood-to-wood hit, this makes the 20-101 a rare and deliberate choice within the Joss lineup — delivering that classic solid feel without sacrificing any of the brand's renowned build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Joss cue is built around a full-length core running from the butt plate to the joint, delivering a solid, one-piece feel, superior shot consistency, and exceptional warp resistance. The shaft is Joss rock hard maple, finished with a shock-resistant white butt cap and a screw-in rubber bumper, both bearing the Joss logo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- TIP UPGRADE SERVICE --\u003e\u003c!-- WHAT PLAYERS SAY --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoss Cues Heritage \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoss 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDan 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 \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003emerican Cuemakers Association Hall of Fame (2003), and received the ACA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022. Dan passed away on June 20, 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStephen 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #000;\"\u003eTip Upgrade Service\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000;\"\u003eBudget Billiards offers a custom tip upgrade service, allowing you to choose the perfect tip for your playing style.
