Joss Pool Cues – American Craftsmanship with Distinctive Style
Joss Cues has been a respected name in billiards since Dan Janes founded the company in 1968. They’re known for striking artwork and intricate ring work that never comes at the expense of playability. In fact, the “Balabushka” cue featured in the movie The Color of Money was actually a Joss cue — a detail that says a lot about their craftsmanship.
Who Joss cues are best for: Players who want a cue that stands out visually, collectors who appreciate detailed inlays and ring work, and anyone looking for a solid American-made cue that plays as good as it looks.
Every Joss cue is made in the USA. Whether you’re drawn to the artwork, the hit, or both, we’re happy to help you find the right one.

Joss Cue Construction & Performance Features
Joss cues are best known for their intricate ring work and inlay artistry — details that have made them some of the most visually distinctive cues in the industry. But the craftsmanship goes well beyond looks: each cue is built to deliver a solid, consistent hit shot after shot, which is exactly why a Joss cue was chosen to stand in for a "Balabushka" on screen. Every Joss cue is proudly made in the U.S.A., combining traditional cue-making techniques with the kind of attention to detail collectors and players both appreciate.
