After more than a year of research, development, and testing, Dan and Stephen Janes set out to deliver the \u003cstrong\u003eaccuracy and durability of carbon fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e without giving up the \u003cstrong\u003efeel and sound\u003c\/strong\u003e Joss players have trusted for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; margin: 24px 0 8px; color: #000000;\"\u003eA Longer Taper for a Smoother Stroke\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eThe biggest difference you will notice is the taper. The Shadow features a \u003cstrong\u003e13-inch pro taper\u003c\/strong\u003e, longer than Joss's traditional shafts. The shaft stays slim farther back, giving your bridge hand more room and letting your stroke glide through \u003cstrong\u003esmoothly and consistently\u003c\/strong\u003e. Paired with carbon fiber's low-deflection characteristics, it lets you apply draw, follow, and side spin with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; margin: 24px 0 8px; color: #000000;\"\u003eLow Deflection, Solid Hit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eInside the shaft, Joss uses a \u003cstrong\u003ecarefully selected combination of foams with different densities\u003c\/strong\u003e that work together with the shaft's weight system. This construction tunes the balance between \u003cstrong\u003elow deflection, feedback, and sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you get a solid, consistent hit instead of the hollow feel found in some carbon shafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eUp front, a short \u003cstrong\u003e3\/16-inch white ferrule\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps front-end mass to a minimum while maintaining a traditional appearance. Each Shadow is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003eJoss Premium Medium Layered Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e for excellent chalk retention, shape consistency, and dependable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; margin: 24px 0 8px; color: #000000;\"\u003eBuilt to Last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eCarbon fiber offers \u003cstrong\u003eexceptional resistance to warping\u003c\/strong\u003e and everyday wear. Its smooth surface resists the \u003cstrong\u003edings, dirt, and moisture\u003c\/strong\u003e that affect traditional wood shafts, so there is no sanding, sealing, or worrying about a humid pool room. The Shadow is engineered to deliver the same consistent performance over years of play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eLooking for Joss carbon technology for your break cue?

The Shadow carries that forward. Stephen Janes, ACA Cuemaker of the Year (2017), and the Joss team spent more than a year developing it as the brand's first carbon fiber playing shaft, bringing modern materials to the same playability-first standards Joss has always been known for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f5f5f5; padding: 12px 16px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 24px 0 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; margin: 0 0 8px; color: #000000;\"\u003eWarranty and Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eJoss Cues Ltd. warrants its products to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the manufacturer's terms and exclusions.
