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 Black Mamba II is the evolution of one of Longoni's most successful modern pool cue designs. Built around striking contrasts and contemporary styling, this second-generation model combines deep black Ural wood with elegant white and turquoise Juma inlays, creating a bold and distinctive appearance.
The cue features a premium lizard-style leather wrap that provides a secure grip and refined feel while complementing the cue's sophisticated design. 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.
This version is supplied with the Longoni S30 12.8 mm shaft, part of Longoni’s Stratos laminated shaft line. The S30 shaft is made from 10 slices of hard Canadian maple combined with 10 slices of Balkan hornbeam, creating a strong, stable laminated shaft with higher density.
The S30 is designed for players who prefer a firm, stable shaft with a more solid feel. Its mixed maple and hornbeam structure provides added density and stability while maintaining the consistency and precision of Longoni’s Stratos laminated shaft technology.
The S30 shaft features Longoni’s JBR2 ferrule with high-density G10 support and proprietary low-deflection technology. This front-end construction is designed to reduce cue ball deflection while improving the sound and feel of the hit.
To further improve shaft performance, Longoni utilizes Vibes-Foam technology near the joint section of its laminated shafts. A specially formulated foam is injected into an internal chamber to help equalize density, dampen excess vibrations, optimize balance characteristics, and deliver cleaner feedback with enhanced acoustic properties
Longoni Stratos shafts are produced entirely in Italy. The wood is carefully selected, dried, stabilized, laminated, and individually checked before final labeling. Each Stratos shaft is uniquely numbered for traceability and labeled with product specifications, including code, name, diameter, and exact weight.
