You have options. Already have a favorite shaft? El Jefe would love to be its boss. Want a full badass Character Cue experience? Pair with a purpleheart shaft for the ultimate break monster. What’s that? You already have a break cue? No problem. El Jefe is the alpha. The prime. The cock of the walk. Pair with carbon fiber, birch, or any damn thing you want.

Purpleheart is dense, with a Janka score of 2,520 lbs. American Hornbeam (that stunningly-grained blue handle section) (AKA Ironwood in these parts), has a Janka of 1,780, making it among the densest US hardwoods.

That’s what makes El Jefe, well… Boss.

What is Janka? From Wood Database:

“The actual number listed in the wood profile is the amount of pounds-force (lbf) or newtons (N) required to imbed a .444″ (11.28 mm) diameter steel ball into the wood to half the ball’s diameter. This number is given for wood that has been dried to a 12% moisture content.”

Hard maple, prized among many cue builders, has a Janka of only 1,450.

What’s it mean, really? First, the wood is harder to dent. Second, it’s heavy. Third, the hit is as close to zero vibration as you’re going to get. Just a solid connection with no backsass. When El Jefe says move, the cue ball moves. When El Jefe says dance, the cue ball dances. You get the point.

El Jefe, simply, is the boss.
