The Making Of My "Flames" Cue - A Day At The Longoni Factory! (Behind The Scenes Documentary)

[@theaveragejoebody]

Niels, you sir are an absolute authentic human being. You are the best all around Pro player that's out here. Thank you for being you and bringing us along in your incredible journey.

LONGONI Cues makes some of the most beautiful cues I have ever seen. To play with one is to know what perfection in your hands feels like. You can feel the craftsmanship.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Awesome!! Which one do you have?

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

As someone who works in manufacturing, I love seeing stuff like this. Thanks Niels !

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome!! 😄👍🏼

[@jeffbassplays]

I know this is a little late, but Niels, you recovering from that tennis elbow to go on to win one of the most coveted titles in 9-ball at the 2018 WPM is truly a testament to your dedication and perseverance towards this beautiful game, (belated) congrats again on your big win that day! Stay strong!!! -jc

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx Jordan! Never to late for that one 😄💪🏼👍🏼🙏🏻

[@santin23]

The best cues in the world!

[@Markoshirzadapool]

Great video. Also appreciate Borat taking us through his factory to show us how they make the cues !

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Pigi is the best 😄👍🏼🔥

[@wanderpoltv4990]

I was amazed how this italian guy pronounced the word with an "a" at the end of every word. Amazing…

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

I know!! Makes sure it's entertaining to watch right 😄😃

[@udokaschek9407]

Hi Niels, Today my sparkle arrived. Thank you for the quick processing over your Shop. :) What can I say, I'm totally impressed. The quality is very high, the grain of the wood is extremely well-defined, the cue is extremely well balanced, and the design is simple, but that is what i wanted and the overall picture is impressive. Plus your signature, I'm flashed. The Hit is amazing, the Feeling is much better, than any other cue i have played. My smile won't go away :) Thank you very much and a small donation for the KZbin channel is also on its way today ;) Thanks and Greetings Udo

[@benjamaniac08]

Very cool. Longoni seems to be putting out top notch cues!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx Ben! Yep they’re awesome people with highest care for quality💪🏼🔥😄

[@MrHalfpint32]

One thing I didn't see was how long from the time they get the wood until the time it can be turned and sent out of Longoni's very nice factory. That definitely looks like a very nice cue,Not like most production cues. More like a custom cue for what seems to be a pretty decent price point for the work they put in. Thanks Neils for the walk-through! Good stuff

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You're very welcome Bill! I will ask them right away and get back to you😀

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Got an answer back from Longoni right away. Most wood nowadays is delivered dried and cut and then can be used very fast. If it's maple for example and uncut then Longoni let's it dry 24-36 months before they work with it. Hope that answers your questions

[@MrJdsenior]

Watching this you understand very quickly why high performance cues are pretty expensive. Beautiful stuff.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx John! Yep correct, any high quality product comes at a competitive price. But they take such good care of each cue, it's very cool to see!

[@PostUp_Time]

SEEING HOW MUCH IS DONE BY HAND TO BUILD THE ACTUAL CUE, WHAY ARE THE CALLED PRODUCTION CUES?

[@MrJdsenior]

@@PostUp_Time Producing something doesn't mean lack of hand work. Things were produced before the industrial revolution totally by handwork (and footwork to, I guess, in some cases). :-) I think you are thinking more automated production, but yeah, today that line is pretty blurred, and most times people probably take the meaning the way you used it.

[@HS-lb8kv]

Thanks for the tour! One starts appreciating the process and understand the challenges and work involved.

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Amazing looking cue! Saving for one as we speak...

[@itellyouwhy6957]

[@billgibbs5075]

Neils, you and I have before at the Open, I'm Bill Gibbs, I build cues and done this work since 1999, [(before that) thru the nineties] I am a master luthier, and developed that trade and title in Nashville, Tennessee, through the 1990's...were I was working at a shop that did the warranty and in house repair for Gibson, I share all this in hopes that 'IF,' Mr. Longoria, IS currently is selling carbon fiber tubes, "I AM INTERESTED IN PUTTING TOGETHER AN ORDER!" I LIKE TO TELL YOU YOU DID A MARVELOUS PRESENTATION, "any cue builder would be 'BLESSED!"

My dream cue.. Who knows one day maybe I can buy it.. Such a beauty

[@alanlittlemoon8194]

The computer did a great job. So much for the eye and hand of the craftsman...

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Still a lot of craftmanship in that factory! Sanding down, putting in the pins, putting on the grip, adjusting weight, glueing the laminated shafts etc etc😀

[@bertraminc9412]

[@garethlynch8317]

Thanks for the tour, and indeed, your program on the whole. great job. Interesting processes and a high quality looking product. I would like to try one out at some point. It's hard to assess how much new technology can improve hit and feel. I am recently getting back into playing after a 12 year break, and I am wondering if I could benefit. I must say, my 32 y/o Schon is still feeling great.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx Gareth! Time for that upgrade 😄😄💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥

[@Aabriley]

This is great stuff. Neils on point with the cool content. Puts perspective in the process as all cue makes are using CNC with the human touch for finer things. Solid video. Thank you sir as always, shoot straight lights out.

Tnx Aaron!! 😄😄👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@joeygonzo]

I loved the factory tour. Thanks Niels

Nice video. Longoni cues are amazing. I love my Longoni Black Mamba with the Luna Nera shaft. I have both the S2 and S3 wooden shaft but the Luna Nera is by far the best shaft I have ever played with

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Good to hear Kasper! Yes, and the durability is super nice on the Luna Nera also when traveling a lot

[@busterbuster1641]

Wonderful to see such craftmanship. Lusting after the NF Flame + leather strip version. Never knew about how laminated shafts were made, totally fascinating.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes same here! I've been to the factory a bunch of times over the years but this day I learned a ton of new things including the making of the graphite shaft. Very cool!

[@UltraGMC]

Wow them are beautiful cues, when I'm at the point that I can afford one this is what I'm going for keep up the good work champ 🏆

[@lucasadrianbaezmassa8868]
