PRO, MAPLE & HB GAMING TRADITION The Longoni two-piece cue was born with the traditional wooden shaft, in particular with the wooden joint derived from the famous French cue "Jolie". Despite the various technical changes made, these axles are still available and highly required today. They are suitable for every discipline, for those who like to know their own gaming tool. |
WITH A LONGONI SHAFT YOUR CHOICE IS NEVER WRONG The CLASSICS shafts are available in three wooden variants with different profiles and lengths to meet all needs in pool and carom (technical disciplines and 3C): The Pro examples are made from the finest Canadian hard rock maple wood, selected for grain, weight and colour; The Maple ones are a good compromise because they are produced with the same maple of the Pro shafts, but less selected: optimal playability with a more vintage look; The HB specimens are made of European hornbeam, which resembles hard rock maple but is slightly harder and has a more gray color. |
JBR2 FERRULE, G10 CORE AND LD TECHNOLOGY Constantly improving the quality of the game is one of the main goals of the Longoni team. To ensure the maximum playing performance of the Longoni shafts, we have worked extensively on their front end by introducing Longoni's new JBR2 ferrules with high-density G10 support and a proprietary system to reduce deflection and improve acoustics. |
THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE RIGHT WOOD This point is crucial: Stradivari was used to search for the best wood in the Panaveggio valley, where spruces grew in a microclimate unique in the world. The Longoni company uses only the best hard rock maple from Quebec (Canda) and the whitest European hornbeam for its shafts, where extremely low temperatures, sunlight and soil provide the best quality wood for billiards. |
CUTTING PROCESS The cutting of the trunks is done during the coldest periods of the year to obtain the best physical characteristics and that white color that distinguishes the best shafts: the Longoni shafts. From the central parts of the boards are taken the elements that must have straight and thick holes without the presence of knots or other aesthetic imperfections, including the sugar strips that can cause stains typical of the Saccharum maple. |
DRYING PROCESS The drying process starts when you cut the trunk into planks and leave them in the open air, in the extremely dry and freezing climate in which they are grown. Once the elements are removed from the planks, they are vacuum dried to mechanically remove most of the water retained by the cells. After the first run, all Longoni shafts are left in a special air-conditioned and constant drying room for at least a year to completely remove the last traces of moisture before proceeding with the stabilization process. |
STABILIZATION PROCESS Stabilizing the wood is the process whereby the wood, from a fully dried material, begins to absorb the natural environmental moisture to achieve the correct balance with the outside world. Thanks to this process, which takes at least 3 months after the drying chamber process, the shafts remain stable over time and ensure excellent playability. |
CLASSIC SHAFT LONGONI WARRANTY All Longoni axles have a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects on parts such as joint, ferrule and ferrule tightness. Each shaft is checked before shipment to be perfectly straight and meet the strictest requirements of our customers. In case of discrepancies, our comprehensive after-sales service will provide you with all the help you need. |
MADE WITH THE WORLD CHAMPIONS Longoni team players play an important role in the development of our shafts, as the skills of the best talent around the world allow us to create outstanding shafts. All our models have been tested and approved by our champions to guarantee the maximum results and satisfaction for our customers. The results speak for themselves: our shafts have won the most important world-class titles. |
MADE IN ITALY: YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW All Longoni axles, including the laminated ones, are completely and uniquely produced in Italy at the factory in Mariano Comense with techniques and machines developed by us. The processing cycle of each shaft lasts a minimum of 24 months: from the moment you cut the board to the moment it reaches billiard tables around the world. The choice to continue manufacturing entirely in Italy was motivated by the desire to have a product different from all others in terms of quality and technology, always under the strict control of our staff. |
PRO SHAFT: PRECISION AND TRACEABILITY All Pro shafts are uniquely numbered to trace the production date. Each shaft is also labeled to state the product specification, including code, name, diameter and exact weight. The label, in addition to showing these details, is a further guarantee of authenticity. Before labeling, each shaft is checked individually on a test table to prevent warping and other defects. To report the correct weight and diameter, we use a precision digital scale connected to the system and a laser micrometer. |
