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 Collection LUX XX is one of the most prestigious cues in the Silver Line collection and represents the modern evolution of a legendary design originally conceived by Renzo Longoni in the early 1990s. Widely regarded as the queen of Longoni's iconic octagonal cues, the Collection LUX combines handcrafted luxury, advanced engineering, and a distinctive octagonal handle that has become one of the most recognizable designs in Longoni's history.
One of the defining characteristics of the Collection LUX XX is its elegant octagonal handle, inspired by classic European cue-making traditions. Unlike conventional round handles, the octagonal profile provides a unique tactile feel, enhanced grip awareness, and exceptional control, allowing players to maintain consistent hand positioning throughout the stroke. Beyond its functional advantages, the octagonal design contributes to the cue's unmistakable appearance and collector appeal.
The defining feature of the Collection LUX series is its extraordinary use of genuine 925 sterling silver. All metal components, including the joint collars and butt cap, are crafted from real sterling silver and meticulously hand-chased by skilled artisans. This traditional decorative technique transforms each cue into a unique work of art, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that have made Longoni famous worldwide.
For the XX Edition, Longoni combined its rich heritage with modern cue-building technology. The cue's structure is crafted from premium Ural (black hornbeam) and reinforced by the advanced Hexa-Core construction system, delivering exceptional stability, consistency, and long-term durability. The VP2-T Grade 5 Titanium joint is further reinforced with a special Bakelite insert, enhancing structural rigidity in one of the cue's most critical areas while helping maintain precise alignment and long-term reliability. Together, these technologies create a cue that delivers exceptional balance, responsiveness, and playing consistency.
A particularly distinctive feature of this model is the beautiful lower ring crafted from rare Italian Heather Briar, a prized wood traditionally associated with luxury craftsmanship. Combined with birdseye maple, hornbeam, and select maple components, the result is a cue of exceptional visual depth and elegance.
The Collection LUX XX is more than a playing instrument—it's a masterpiece created for discerning players, collectors, and enthusiasts who appreciate the finest traditions of cue making.
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 Collection LUX XX is equipped with Longoni's prestigious VP2-T Grade 5 Titanium Joint, the premium version of the world-renowned VP2 system. Precision-machined from aerospace-grade titanium, the VP2-T delivers exceptional strength while significantly reducing front-end weight compared to traditional steel joints.
This advanced design provides outstanding shaft-to-butt alignment, superior energy transfer, enhanced feedback, and a remarkably balanced playing experience. The ultra-rigid connection maximizes efficiency while maintaining the responsiveness demanded by advanced players.
VP2-T Titanium Joint Benefits:
- Premium aerospace-grade Grade 5 titanium construction
- Significantly lighter than stainless steel joints
- Optimized cue balance and weight distribution
- Ultra-precise shaft-to-butt alignment
- Maximum energy transfer and feedback
- Fast and secure assembly with only a few turns
- Smooth, wear-resistant thread design
- Resistant to humidity and environmental changes
- Exceptional long-term durability
- Superior responsiveness and cue-ball control
- Used on select Longoni high-end and luxury models
Bakelite-Reinforced Joint Construction:
To further enhance durability and structural integrity, the Collection LUX XX features a specially reinforced joint area utilizing high-performance Bakelite. Long valued in precision engineering applications for its rigidity, dimensional stability, and resistance to wear, Bakelite strengthens one of the most critical stress points of the cue.
Working in conjunction with the VP2-T Grade 5 Titanium joint, this reinforcement helps maintain precise shaft-to-butt alignment, improves long-term reliability, and contributes to the solid, consistent hit expected from a premium Longoni cue.
Bakelite Reinforcement Benefits:
- Increased structural rigidity at the joint area
- Enhanced durability and wear resistance
- Improved long-term alignment stability
- Greater resistance to environmental changes
- Consistent performance over years of play
- Complements the VP2-T titanium joint system
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.
Equipped with Longoni's complete 3Lobite extension system, the cue includes a 20 cm Xtendo extension for effortless reach when needed. Engineered to integrate perfectly with the cue, the system allows players to extend their range without sacrificing the balance, precision, and performance expected from a premium Longoni 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.
Longoni also uses Vibes-Foam technology near the joint area of its laminated shafts. A long internal hole is filled with special foam to help compensate density, absorb vibrations, improve balance, and enhance acoustic response.
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.
