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.
Environmental responsibility, worker protection, and a distinctly Italian approach to manufacturing contribute to the reputation and prestige of the Longoni brand. Continuous collaboration with world champions also ensures ongoing technical development and refinement across the entire product range.
The Longoni S30 is part of the renowned Stratos laminated shaft series and is designed for players who prefer a firm, stable shaft with a solid and precise feel. Constructed from 10 slices of Canadian hard rock maple combined with 10 slices of Balkan hornbeam, the S30 utilizes a unique hybrid laminated structure that delivers increased density, exceptional stability, and outstanding consistency while maintaining excellent cue ball control and accuracy.
Longoni developed the Stratos laminated shaft concept to minimize the natural inconsistencies found in solid wood shafts. Each wood slice is individually selected according to weight, grain orientation, and quality before being laminated into a precisely engineered structure designed to deliver reliable performance and long-term stability.
The shaft is finished with Longoni's proprietary Imago Ring, an innovative epoxy and cotton fiber composite ring engineered to replicate the appearance of natural wood while offering enhanced consistency, durability, and resistance to environmental changes. Developed and manufactured in Italy, the Imago Ring combines performance, elegance, and Longoni's commitment to innovation.
The S30 features Longoni's advanced JBR2 ferrule system reinforced with a high-density G10 support and proprietary low-deflection technology. This front-end construction helps reduce cue ball squirt while maintaining excellent feedback, feel, and sound.
To further enhance performance, the shaft incorporates Longoni's Vibes-Foam technology. A specially formulated foam is injected into an internal chamber near the joint area to help equalize density, reduce unwanted vibrations, optimize balance characteristics, and deliver cleaner feedback with improved acoustic response.
Every Longoni Stratos shaft is produced entirely in Italy. The wood is carefully selected, dried, stabilized, laminated, and individually inspected before final assembly. Each shaft receives a unique serial number for traceability and is labeled with its specifications, including model, diameter, and exact weight.
