JOSS

Dan started Joss Cues with a partner in 1968. In 1972 Dan took full control of the business and continues to make the original Joss Cue. He eventually moved to a new location and his son Stephen joined him in cue making.

Dan and Stephen still work side by side in the shop while Debbie oversees the office and sales. Joss Cues is a real family effort that results in a company that cares about its product and clients.

Dan’s cues were chosen for the film that resuscitated the entire billiard industry, “The Color of Money“ even the cue passed off in the movie as a “Balabushka” is really a Joss.

Dan has placed cues in the hands of many of the members of the BCA Hall of Fame (Mike Sigel, Eddie Taylor, Nick Varner, Jim Rempe, the late Jimmy Moore, Luther Lassiter, Minnesota Fats, Jimmy Caras and Joe Balsis), plus a roster of active competitors that reads like a who’s who of pool. He has also made cues for Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Jimmy Connors and the entire starring cast of TV’s Mission Impossible. And he’s undoubtedly the only cue maker who can point to an appearance in the Mercedes Owners/Buyers Guide.
