For over 80 years, Longoni has represented Italian excellence in billiards. Founded in Mariano Comense, near Milan, Longoni is a family-owned company known worldwide for precision, craftsmanship, design, and reliability. Longoni cues are still produced entirely in Italy under the supervision of the Longoni family and are trusted by many top international players.
Environmental attention, workers’ protection, and a deeply Italian management style give the Longoni brand reliability and prestige. Collaborations with many world champions also ensure constant technical and sporting updates across the product range.
The Leather Strips version is the most sought-after model in the Black Mamba II series. Its unique handle design features genuine leather strips accented by turquoise stitching, creating a distinctive appearance while providing a secure and comfortable grip. The combination of premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship gives this cue a refined look that stands out both on and off the table.
The handle incorporates Longoni's Double Core construction, enhancing structural stability and helping maintain consistent performance over time.
Ural is Longoni’s own branded wood material, made from European hornbeam, a light-colored, hard, sustainable European wood known for stability, durability, and medium-to-high density. Longoni applies an innovative deep staining treatment using alternating pressurization and depressurization techniques, allowing a black ebony-like stain to penetrate deeply into the wood. This process highlights the natural grain and gives the cue a rich, almost black appearance with depth and character.
The cue is equipped with Longoni's precision VP2-S stainless steel joint, engineered to provide a firm and secure connection, efficient energy transfer, excellent durability, and precise shaft alignment.
This cue also features Longoni’s HEXA-CORE technology, the latest evolution in the construction technique of Longoni butts. HEXA-CORE combines the silence of the X-CORE metal system and the harmony of the XYLOCORE system, and is mainly used for pool and carom cues.
The component that joins the two parts of the butt is made individually with numerical control from Ergal aluminum and is equipped with grooves to calibrate elasticity and fix the piece mechanically as well as chemically. It is installed more precisely than traditional systems and helps guarantee a long life of the cue.
Each cue is made in Italy by Longoni, a family-owned company known worldwide for premium billiard cues since 1945.
