Longoni Melodia Nox Pool Cue

The Longoni S2 shaft is produced entirely of 10 slices of Canadian Hardrock Maple.
Its technology is the result of years of development on the "Stratos",
the first laminated shaft ever, developed by Renzo Longoni in the mid-sixties and produced in thousands of pieces. The S2 shaft is suitable for those looking for an elastic shaft but with determination, perfect for the most extreme english. A classic shaft for those who want a professional and natural game. Top control on the ball and low deflection.

The gradual rise taper is more common on most cues today. A pro tapered shaft starts at the ferrule and has a slight rise 12 to 14 inches up through the stroke area before starting to get larger toward the shaft joint. This keeps a stronger taper with less whip in your bridge hand.
