| 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.

| 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. |
