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 Longoni Flames Wood Pool Cue by Niels Feijen is part of Longoni's prestigious Custom Pro Series, a collection of professional-grade cues that combine advanced technology, premium materials, and Italian craftsmanship. Flames is the sixth signature model created in collaboration with two-time World Pool Champion Niels Feijen and showcases a distinctive design inspired by flowing flame patterns.
Crafted from carefully selected Ural, maple, bokote, and hornbeam, the cue features elegant curved inlays of maple and bokote that create a unique and instantly recognizable appearance. The wrapless figured maple handle showcases the natural beauty of the wood while providing direct feedback and a smooth, comfortable feel preferred by many accomplished players.
Built around Longoni's renowned Hexa-Core Ural construction, the cue offers exceptional stability, reduced vibration, and efficient energy transfer. The precision VP2-S joint provides quick assembly, a firm and secure connection for optimal energy transfer, excellent resistance to humidity and wear, and precise shaft-to-butt alignment. The integrated 3Lobite extension system provides compatibility with Longoni extensions for additional reach when needed.
Combining striking aesthetics with tournament-level performance, the Flames Wood is designed for players who demand both beauty and precision. As a member of the Custom Pro Series, it represents Longoni's commitment to producing cues that meet the demands of serious competitors while maintaining the distinctive style for which Italian cue making is renowned.
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, designed for a firm and secure connection, efficient energy transfer, reliable alignment, and a solid hit.
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 S2 12.8 mm shaft, part of Longoni’s Stratos laminated shaft line. The S2 shaft is made from 10 highly selected Canadian hard rock maple slices and is designed as an elastic, responsive shaft with excellent control, especially for players who use strong spin and extreme English.
Longoni’s Stratos laminated shaft concept was developed to reduce the natural inconsistencies of traditional wood shafts. Instead of relying on a single piece of wood, Longoni selects wood slices by weight, straight grain, and quality, then laminates them together to create a more consistent and stable shaft.
The S2 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.
