{"title":"Treadway Custom Cues","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTreadway Custom Cues is a respected American custom cue brand built by cue maker Josh Treadway of St. Louis, Missouri. Josh began making cues in 2010 after apprenticing under renowned cue maker Jim Buss, an experience that gave him a strong technical foundation early in his career. Since then, Treadway has steadily built a reputation among players and collectors for producing cues with \u003cb\u003eexcellent construction\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ethoughtful design\u003c\/b\u003e, and a clear focus on \u003cb\u003eplayability\u003c\/b\u003e. Today, he is widely regarded as one of the \u003cb\u003ebrightest rising stars\u003c\/b\u003e in the modern custom cue world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTreadway cues are known for their \u003cb\u003esolid, balanced hit\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003emeticulous craftsmanship\u003c\/b\u003e. Josh is highly disciplined in every step of the process, from shaft construction and taper development to final finishing. His shafts are carefully aged and cut over long periods to ensure \u003cb\u003elong-term stability\u003c\/b\u003e, and his cues feature a \u003cb\u003emodified pro taper\u003c\/b\u003e designed to deliver a firm yet responsive feel. Each cue is also fully cored with laminated maple, enhancing \u003cb\u003econsistency\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003estructural stability\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003ebalance\u003c\/b\u003e from one cue to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile influenced by many great cue makers, Josh’s career idol has long been Ernie Gutierrez of Ginacue. The timeless design language and legendary craftsmanship of Ginacue have played a major role in shaping Treadway’s approach to cue making. Today, Treadway Custom Cues continues to gain recognition for blending \u003cb\u003etraditional cue-making values\u003c\/b\u003e with a \u003cb\u003efresh, modern design perspective\u003c\/b\u003e, producing cues that are both serious playing instruments and highly collectible works of craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen I first decided to build my own website last year, Nick Varner invited me to the International Cue Collectors Show in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Walking through the room, surrounded by some of the best work in the industry, one booth immediately stood out to me—Josh Treadway’s. There was something about his cues that caught my eye right away—the \u003cb\u003edesign\u003c\/b\u003e, the \u003cb\u003efinish\u003c\/b\u003e, and the \u003cb\u003eoverall presence\u003c\/b\u003e. When I examine his shafts more closely, I could immediately tell—just by the way they were made—that they were going to play exceptionally well. In that moment, I knew I had to carry his work on my website. It wasn’t just a business decision—it was a genuine appreciation for a young maker whose work truly speaks for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cue-1","title":"Josh Treadway - 2025 ICCS Show Cue","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eHandcrafted by master cue maker Josh Treadway, this 2025 ICCS Special Edition cue is another outstanding example of Josh's ability to blend traditional cue aesthetics with modern precision and refinement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn ICCS Show Cue is the cue maker's selected showcase piece for the International Cue Collectors Show (ICCS).
