 | THE CONCEPT OF STRATOS Wooden classic shafts are highly anisotropic and release uncontrollable forces during a hit. Renzo Longoni analyzed the problem in depth in the late 1960s and came to the conclusion that nature must be re-created. He decided to cut slices of wood, selecting them by weight, pure veneer and quality to create a perfect shaft using only the best pieces. Laminated shaft was born and patented in 1985. |
 | JBR2 FERRULE, G10 CORE AND LD TECHNOLOGY Constantly improving the quality of the game is one of the main goals of the Longoni team. To ensure the maximum gaming performance of the Longoni axes, we worked a lot on their front end by introducing Longoni's new JBR2 ferrules with high-density G10 support and a proprietary system to reduce deflection and improve acoustics. |
 | VIBES FOAM To improve balance and acoustics, we have made a long hole in all laminated shafts close to the joint area, which is filled with a special foam. This material compensates for density, absorbs vibrations and improves balance. |
 | THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE RIGHT WOOD This point is crucial: Stradivari was used to source the best wood in the valley of Panaveggio, where the spruce grew in a microclimate unique in the world. The Longoni company only uses the best hard rock maple from Quebec (Canda) and the whitest European hornbeam for its shafts, where extremely low temperatures, sunlight and soil provide the best quality wood for billiards. |
 | CUTTING PROCESS The cutting of the trunks is done during the coldest times of the year to get the best physical characteristics and that white color that distinguishes the best shanks: the Longoni shanks. From the central parts of the boards are taken the elements that must have straight and thick holes without the presence of knots or other aesthetic imperfections, including the sugar streaks that can cause stains typical of the Saccharum maple. |
 | DRYING PROCESS The drying process starts as soon as you cut the trunk into planks and leave them out in the open, in the extremely dry and freezing climate in which they are grown. Once the elements are removed from the planks, they are vacuum dried to mechanically remove most of the water retained by the cells. After the first run, all Longoni shafts are left in a special air-conditioned and constant drying room for a minimum of one year to completely drain the last traces of moisture before proceeding to the stabilization process. |
 | STABILIZATION PROCESS Stabilizing the wood is the process by which the wood begins to absorb the natural ambient moisture from a fully dried material in order to achieve the right balance with the outside world. Thanks to this process, which takes a minimum of 3 months after the drying chamber process, the shafts remain stable over time and provide excellent playability. |
 | MAKING A LAMINATED SHAFT To make a laminated shaft, after proper drying and stabilization of the raw material, the wood must be cut into slices, which must be selected and glued with a combination of slow curing adhesives. Gluing the laminated shafts takes a lot of time: for the right result it is necessary to leave the glued slices in special molds for at least 24 hours. This technique significantly limits production capacity, but greatly increases the quality of the shaft. |
 | S2, S20, S30... WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? S2 has 10 highly selected Canadian hard rock maple slabs. An elastic shaft with determination, perfect for the most extreme English. S20 is the world's first with a structure of 20 slices of Quebec hard rock maple, which makes the shaft really innovative. The game is easy and natural and the deflection is completely erased.
Thanks to the internal structure, the weight is well balanced. S30 is the last Stratos: 10 slices of Canadian hard maple combined with 10 slices of balcan hornbeam. Made for the player likes strong, stable and with a higher density. |
 | STRATOS LONGONIA WARRANTY All Stratos axles are uniquely numbered to track the date of manufacture. Each shank is also labeled to list the product specification, including code, name, diameter and exact weight. The label, in addition to showing this data, is a further guarantee of authenticity. Before labeling, each shaft is individually checked on a test table to prevent warping and other defects. To report the correct weight and diameter, we use a precision digital scale connected to the system and a laser micrometer. |
 | MADE WITH THE WORLD CHAMPIONS Longoni team players play an important role in the development of our shafts, as the skills of the best talents around the world allow us to create excellent shafts. All our models are tested and approved by our champions to ensure the maximum results and satisfaction for our customers. The results speak for themselves: our shafts have won the most important world-class titles. |
 | MADE IN ITALY: YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW All Longoni axes, including the laminated ones, are completely and uniquely produced in Italy at the Mariano Comense factory with techniques and machines developed by us. The processing cycle of each shaft takes a minimum of 24 months from the moment you cut the board to the moment it reaches billiards tables around the world. The choice to continue to manufacture entirely in Italy was motivated by the desire to have a product that differs from all others in terms of quality and technology, always under the strict control of our staff. |
