The Joss JOS55 Cue is a Joss playing cue sold by Quarter King Billiards. It has a 5/16X14 Piloted joint and a 13.00mm classic wood shaft. It is in stock at $506, with free shipping over $98 and 30-day returns.

Description

Brown and black make up the finish on the Joss JOS55, a darker two-tone pairing built on the 5/16×14 piloted joint and hard rock maple shaft that carry through most of Joss’s standard cues. That shaft measures 13mm across 29 inches with a pro taper, and a linen-wrapped handle rounds out the build. At about $510, the JOS55 sits in the middle of Joss’s price range for this series, and it is currently in stock. The piloted joint self-aligns as it threads together, a detail that matters most to players who regularly break their cue down for travel or storage rather than leaving it assembled.

    Joss pool cue

    I really like the cue stick and the control that I have on the cue ball. I had to pick up a soft tip due to shooting on a smaller table. I would like a performance shaft that reduces deflection for my Joss.

    Joss55 Pool Cue stick

    I ordered a pool pool cue from this company for my husband for our anniversary. The customer service was excellent and delivery was very fast. I will definitely do future business with them and would recommend them to all of my friends and family.

    JOS55

    I am really satisfied with my new Joss JOS55. It is a beautiful stick that is well made and well balanced. I do have a question though. Can I purchase a predator 11.75 mm Z shaft from you for my new stick or do I need to go directly to Predator?

  5. Dan S. –

    What can I say?

    I’m no pool pool cue expert, but I can tell you that I enjoy playing with my new joss pool cue. It has quality balance and control and I have a lot of confidence when playing. Plus it’s one heck of a pleasant looking cue!

    Joss JOS55

    I am an English pool aficionado who got the bug for American 8-ball when working in Shanghai for 18 months, as the quality manager of a UK company that has its products made in China. I was introduced to the Joss PoolDawg during occasional visits to Denver, CO, when I would present a report for a major customer, where I became a nice pool buddy with my opposite number in the customer organisation, and I bought a JOS55 and Stinger Break/Jump stick to improve my game. I bought another JOS55 and Stinger to replace these, when they was stolen in 2019, and I had a tip change to a Tiger Sniper tip. Last summer on a week’s holiday in Liverpool (home of the Beatles) I spent the evenings drinking beer and playing pool with a decent friend. It soon came back to me, This is an ideal cue for just about any grade of player in my opinion. It has a pleasant fluid action, and it’s effortless to get good cue ball control with spin (US = English) to set you up for your next shot. The taut Irish linen ensures a good grip even in the heat of summer when the AC’s broken down in the pub (as happened last year) and your hands are sweating. And the cue itself, when standing between shots, gathered some appreciative appears from other pool players, and some asked me what model it was and where I bought it. I was pleased to forward them to PoolDawg.

  8. Dan C. –

    Satisfied

    Without a doubt, love the cue. I have no issue with it at all. Still little peeved they sent the wrong pool cue. But it was corrected truly speedy so I’m happy about that. Shout out to Steve for fixing the issue. With outstanding customer service.

    I don’t feel your ad

    I don’t feel your ad pictures did the one I received justice. The coloring and wood grain looked much better in person. Shooting feels fantastic with her.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Joss JOS55 Cue use?

It uses a 5/16X14 Piloted joint. That means any 5/16X14 Piloted shaft will thread straight onto this butt, so you can add a spare or upgrade later without changing cues. If you are matching a shaft you already own, check its pin against 5/16X14 Piloted before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Joss JOS55 Cue?

This cue ships with a 13.00mm shaft. Thinner shafts put more spin on the cue ball and feel crisper through the stroke; larger diameters feel fuller and are more forgiving on off-centre hits. Neither is better — it comes down to how you like the cue to hit.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Joss JOS55 Cue comes with a Classic Wood shaft. Carbon fiber will not warp, ignores humidity and deflects less; quality maple gives the traditional feel a lot of players still prefer. Both play at a high level, so pick the one that matches how you want the cue to feel.

What is the Joss JOS55 Cue built for?

It is set up as a playing cue. Playing cues are balanced for control on shot-making, break cues are heavier with a harder tip for power transfer, and jump cues are short and light to get the cue ball airborne. Using the right one also protects your playing cue from break wear.

What kind of grip does it have?

The grip is linen wrap. Irish linen wicks sweat and stays tacky, leather is plush and premium, and a no-wrap finish is fast and needs no maintenance. If your hands run warm, linen is usually the safer pick.

Is Quarter King an authorized Joss dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Joss dealer, so this cue is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty against warpage and defects in workmanship. Warranty claims go through us — you do not have to deal with the factory yourself.

How fast does it ship, and can I return it?

Shipping is free on orders over $98 in the contiguous US, $5.50 flat otherwise, and you get tracking as soon as it moves. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unchalked, unused product — contact us first for a return authorization so it is credited without delay.
