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.
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

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 UA-cam channel is also on its way today ;) Thanks and Greetings Udo
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
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
@@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.
Good choice!! 😃 You can order it directly on my web shop: terminator-shop.com/ There's a nice 10% discount on ALL cues right now... 🔥🔥 terminator-shop.com/
I've made a really nice video about the making of my Flames cue at the Longoni factory! Feel free to watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/eKNG7zjpoJw/v-deo.html
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.
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!"
Wonderful to see such craftmanship. Lusting after the NF Flame + leather strip version. Never knew about how laminated shafts were made, totally fascinating.
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!
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
Thank you! 😊 They are my winning cues for more than 20 years 🔥💪😉 If you should have any interest please feel free to visit my webshop right here: terminator-shop.com/
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.
Great video, love seeing how things are made. Longoni obviously produces a high quality cue. Someday... :) You look like a kid in a candy store... Your instructional videos are very helpful as well.
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😀
I find his speech interesting. You must pay attention just so you know what he is saying.lol Cool stuff,I cant believe how the roll the wood for the shaft up ,,mind blower.
Love the cue, however as a fan of the color blue I would love to see Neils and Longoni to create a version of this cue with hints of the color blue my favorite color.
thank you champ niel for sharing your video, longoni is one of my dream cue. keep it up! hope you will get another world championship crown in the future. your new subscriber from the Philippines.
Hi there pare!! 😃 Thanks for subscribing to my channel. Great to hear you like the videos. Longoni has been my long term partner and I really put my trust in what the do and their way of making cues at the fabric in Italy, which they have done since 1945!! Happy you like the too ⚡👏
Wow! Luckily I subscribed to your channel. I want to learn from your style more. Very stable. Also, very nice cue. Especially this edition with your name on it. Wonderfully made! I only wish that I can afford one of this. Never seen anybody owns or used a Longoni cue here in the Philippines. It's not for me I think. Only in my dreams.
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Ik heb de flames cue bestelt met luna nera shaft. Super bedankt voor de terminator tips. Deze zijn erg leerzaam. Ik speel nu een jaartje pool en ben een C+ speler. Mijn doel is om net zolang te oefenen tot ik een break and run out kan maken

Tnx Gee!!
Amazing looking cue! Saving for one as we speak...
Amazing. I love seeing how things are made. Those cues are a work of art. Fantastic
Thank you!😀🙏
Watching this you understand very quickly why high performance cues are pretty expensive. Beautiful stuff.
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!

Tnx Hans!! Glad you like it sir 😀
About the leather grip on the niels fijen flames poolstick, is it soft like a rubber grip or hard like leather on a cheap pool stick?
You mean like the three cushion grips?
Fascinating!
Tnx!!
Has similar colors to the Predatator, but looks better. Nice.
What size shaft do you use Niels??
I use 12,4mm at the moment. But the 12,8mm is also great!😀
Amazing! Hope to have some
the shaft @@ amazing
Awesome work! 😁
Tnx Christian! 🙏🏻

very good documentary
Tnx!!😀
This-a video-a is-a very interesting-a.
Hahahaha yes a it is a!
Wow. Great video. I want one now. Lol
Longoni cues seem to have very good energy transfer resulting in easier cue ball movement and draw capabilities
Yep true that! 🙏🏻👍🏼😄
is that Carlo Biado on the background? 11:50
Hahaha close!
Hmmmm, thinking to try.....last longoni I try was 20 years ago... stiff one... not "live" but how can I try before buying???...
You won’t regret it trust me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Not sure where you are located?

Awesome video. I'm looking into the cost of a cue like yours. If you don't mind me asking, what tip do you use on your Luna shaft

What should be the tip of the cue stick 11/12/13
I have 12,4. 12,8 is also very good
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Hi, how long should a perfect pool cue be?
Thank you very much for this advice
It’s very personal but some players also put an extension on their cue for extra length 👍🏼👍🏼
Longoni also has very light and quick extensions so it won’t impact the weight of the cue very much 👍🏼😄
