Mike Zuglan has released the second half of the 2005-2006 Joss NE 9-Ball Tour schedule.
A total of 19 stops ranging from $1500 to $5000 added are part of the schedule. There are also rumors of possibly one or more big added money special events for 2006.
At the same time as the schedule announcement, Zuglan also announced the addition of Pete Lafond's new Slipstic brand cue maintenance products and Tiger Products as sponsors of the 2005/2006 tour.
Zuglan describes Slipstic products as the latest innovation in cue care. "Their stabilizer-cleaner is a powerful formula that has been laboratory tested to provide the highest level of cleaning power without harming your shaft. Their conditioner/lubricant, recently used by NASA, is one of the most slippery substances in existence. With near zero effects from temperature, humidity and sweat, you can be sure your stroke will remain fluid and consistent."
Referring to Tiger Products, Zuglan said "Along with their innovative "X" Laminated Cue Shaft, Care & Maintenance items, unique accessories and the truly original Stack Leather Wrap, Tiger Products is a welcome addition to our growing list of sponsors. Everyone involved with The Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour are equally proud to now be associated with Tiger Products. They are a company involved with numerous Regional Tours in an effort to contribute to our sport. They should be commended for their generosity and support."
