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 Hurricane 2 Linen is part of Longoni's Entry Level series, designed to provide outstanding playability, reliability, and value. Simple but effective, the Hurricane 2 combines classic styling with proven Longoni engineering. Developed from the original Hurricane cue, this second-generation model features the highly precise VP2 steel joint system and decorative vintage-style bakelite rings that protect the butt while adding a distinctive traditional appearance.
Constructed from selected black hornbeam, the Hurricane 2 Linen offers a solid and consistent feel suitable for players of all skill levels. This version is fitted with a premium Irish linen wrap that provides a classic feel, secure grip, and excellent control in a wide range of playing conditions.
The cue is supplied with a 29-inch Longoni maple shaft featuring an American profile and a 12.8 mm tip diameter. Longoni maple shafts are manufactured from carefully selected Quebec hard rock maple and provide an excellent balance of playability, durability, and value. They are produced using the same high-quality maple as Longoni's professional shafts, while maintaining a more traditional appearance and feel.
To maximize performance, the shaft incorporates Longoni's JBR2 ferrule system with high-density G10 support and proprietary low-deflection technology. This advanced front-end construction helps reduce cue ball deflection while improving feedback, acoustics, and overall playing consistency.
The cue is equipped with Longoni’s precision VP2-S stainless steel joint, designed for a firm and secure connection, efficient energy transfer, reliable alignment, and a solid hit.
Every Longoni shaft is produced entirely in Italy. The wood is carefully selected, cut during the coldest periods of the year, vacuum dried, climate stabilized, and individually inspected throughout a manufacturing process that takes more than 24 months from raw lumber to finished product. This attention to detail ensures excellent stability, durability, and long-term playability.
