Longoni Maple Pool Cue Shaft VP2 Joint

For more than 80 years, Longoni has represented Italian excellence in billiards. Founded in Mariano Comense, near Milan, Longoni is a family-owned company recognized worldwide for its craftsmanship, innovation, precision, and reliability. Longoni products are still manufactured entirely in Italy under the direct supervision of the Longoni family and are trusted by many of the world's top professional players. The Longoni Classic Maple Shaft is a traditional solid wood shaft designed for players who appreciate the natural feel and feedback of premium maple. Featuring an American profile and a 12.8 mm tip diameter, it delivers a balanced combination of control, consistency, and playability suitable for players of all skill levels. Manufactured from carefully selected Canadian hard rock maple, the shaft is produced using the same premium wood used in Longoni's professional shafts while maintaining a more traditional appearance and feel. The wood is carefully selected, vacuum dried, climate stabilized, and individually inspected throughout a manufacturing process that takes more than 24 months from raw lumber to finished product. To improve performance, the shaft incorporates Longoni's advanced JBR2 ferrule system with high-density G10 support and proprietary low-deflection technology. This front-end construction helps reduce cue ball deflection while enhancing feedback, acoustics, and overall playing consistency.
