NEUHAUSEN GOES UNDEFEATED FOR TURNING STONE CLASSIC WIN
 

Germany’s Moritz Neuhausen capped off an undefeated run through a field of 128 players to win the Turning Stone Classic XXXIX, held at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY on August 29th – September 1st.

Neuhausen got things underway with back to back 9-0 shutouts against tour regulars Bob Lewis and Holden Chin. “The Giant Killer” Jeremy Sossei was up next, and he took Neuhausen to the hill at 8-8 before Neuhausen could put him away.

Neuhausen’s next match was against a newcomer on the pro scene, Turkey’s Mustafa Alnar. Alnar led the match most of the way, until Neuhausen finally clawed his way ahead late in the match. It still came down to hill-hill before a missed 4-ball by Alnar resulted in a 9-8 win over Neuhausen.

As if back to back hill-hill matches wasn’t enough stress for the young German, Neuhausen’s next opponent, New York’s Aaron Greenwood also took him to hill-hill before Neuhausen pocketed the final 9-ball for the match win.

Neuhausen then made quick work for Christoph Neumayer (9-4) to setup the hot-seat match against Mika Immonen. Immonen, a two time Turning Stone Classic Champion, was looking like the Mika of old, with notables wins over Canadian Champion Erik Hjorliefson, American Young Gun Lukas Fracasso-Verner and young Filipino hotshot Michael Baoanan. The hot-seat match was a close one, with neither player able to build more than a two rack lead. Neuhausen got to the hill first at 8-6 and went on to close Immonen out at 9-6.

Immonen dispatched with Baoanan 9-6 and the rematch with Neuhausen in the finals was underway. Neuhausen quickly built a 6-2 lead and looked to be in complete control at 9-3, but Immonen didn’t win two US Open 9-Ball Championship titles by rolling over when he trailed in a match. Immonen win five straight racks to get back to win one at 9-8. Then it was Neuhausen’s turn to take control of the match, as he won three racks to take the hill at 12-8. Immonen had one more run in him, as he won three straight to get within one again, at 12-11 but an early scratch in the 24th rack by Immonen was his last trip to the table and Neuhausen ran out for the 13-11 win, and his first Turning Stone Classic title.

Here is the complete order of finish for Mike Zuglan's Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour's, "Turning Stone Classic XXXIX 9-Ball Open", which was Aug 29 - Sept 1, 2024.

Dan Janes
 
The Pool World has Lost a Great Man of the Sport!

As many of our friends, colleagues, and customers know Dan Janes has passed away. We lost our dear Dan on June 20, 2023.

Dan's life passion was for making the best cue possible. Throughout his career he had a lifelong quest to continually improve methods, materials, and aesthetics of the Joss Cue while insuring they had the best, solid play possible. Dan, Debbie, and Stephen would sit for hours and plan the approach to perfect a certain technique. The goal always to make the best playing, well-built cues with a range of price points. All cues being equal only some had more inlays or veneers. The play, the same!

And if you wanted to talk to Dan about almost anything, especially cues, he would talk with you. Many people were surprised when it was Dan who answered the phone. He spent many hours with customers creating their image of the perfect cue. He was an inspiration to other cue makers and would spend hours discussing methods, ideas and strategies. Dan shared his knowledge and his many, many pool, life stories. He was a special man.

Dan began his life's cue making journey in a small garage in an area of Baltimore known as Hampden in 1967. Later in 1975 the business was moved to a new industrial park in Towson where Joss still resides. By his side his wife Debbie and son Stephen helped grow the business. Debbie and Stephen will still run the business and will continue to craft the same superior quality Joss Cue that we have been making since 1967. Dan made sure that Debbie and Stephen were ready for this transition. We have been there every day beside Dan. Stephen has helped the business evolve with his own innovative advances and stands behind every cue he crafts. He has been managing the shop for 44 years. We will carry on the tradition of making quality customized Joss Cues.

Dan will be missed immensely by his family. His daughters Amanda Janes, Kim Moreau and other son Mark Janes are heartbroken.

He is also survived by grandsons, a granddaughter, and great-grandchildren.

The pool world has lost a great man of the sport!

We are saddened.
