This shaft is designed exclusively for Longoni and Vaula Carom 3-Cushion cues with a VP2 joint. It will not fit any cues that do not use the VP2 joint system.

Engineered in Italy by Longoni

Vaula is one of Italys oldest and most respected cue brands, with origins dating back to World War II in Turin. Initially known for manufacturing house cues, the brand and its technology were acquired by Longoni in the 1960s. Since 2010, Longoni has revitalized the Vaula name with a modern collection of cues designed for the three core disciplines of the Longoni universe: pool, carom, and five-pins.

All Vaula cues are officially approved by Fibis, the Italian Billiard Federation, for use in tournament play.

VP2 Joint Technology

Introduced by Longoni in 2004, the VP2 metal joint was developed as a universal, high-performance system across all cue types. Evolving from the earlier Viper joint, the VP2 was designed for exceptional precision, quick assembly, and versatile use across disciplines including pool, five-pins, carom, and Russian pyramid.

Over time, both the pins and shaft inserts of the VP2 system have seen continual improvements to optimize performance and maintain cross-compatibility.These enhancements include:

• Pin alignment adjustment after butt fabrication, ensuring perfect fit with the shaft insert
• Electro-polishing of thread surfaces for smoother, more fluid screw action
• Laser-engraved serial numbers on each joint pin for quality control and anti-counterfeiting

Key Features of the VP2 Joint:

• Quick and effortless locking/unlocking
• Ultra-firm connection for maximum energy transfer
• Humidity-resistant and wear-proof
• Precision alignment of butt and shaft
• Forward-balanced feel compared to cues with traditional wooden joints
• Can be retrofitted to older cues and models from other brands
