Dan Janes' Awards and Honors

 

Dan Janes

 

In 1986, Dan's cues were chosen for the film, "The Color of Money" 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 Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Hall of Fame, such as 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.

 

In July of 2003, Dan was inducted into the American Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame. Dan takes the profession of cue making very seriously.
