The Joss JOS171 features a more modern look from the very traditional company. Joss has been around for decades, and their known for making high quality cues with traditional styling. This cue doesn't stray too far from that, but the ringwork and butt sleeve set this cue apart from the rest of the Joss line. It features a birdseye maple forearm, a flame birch wrap section, and an ebony, cocobolo, maple, and mother of pearl butt sleeve.
