PROTECT YOUR JOSS CUE INVESTMENT

For over 60 years, Joss Cues have represented American craftsmanship, precision, and serious pool performance. Every Joss cue features the legendary 5/16" x 14 pin joint—a threading standard that delivers the tight, consistent hit that professionals demand. Our 5/16" x 14 Joint Protectors are precision-engineered exclusively for Joss cues and all brands using this classic American threading standard.

PRECISION ENGINEERED FOR 5/16" x 14 JOINTS

The 5/16" x 14 thread specification is the most trusted joint system in American cue manufacturing.

WHY JOINT PROTECTORS MATTER FOR JOSS CUES

Joss cues are known for their solid hit and precise joint fit. The 5/16" x 14 threading is cut to exacting tolerances that deliver consistent feedback and power transfer. Even minor contamination from dust, chalk, or lint can affect this precision fit, leading to:

• Inconsistent hit feel
• Difficult joint disassembly
• Potential thread wear over time
• Reduced resale value

These protectors maintain your Joss joint in factory condition, ensuring the same solid hit every time you play.
