About Viking Pool Cues
Viking understands that you expect your cue to help you win. That's why Viking aims to make great hitting cues that are sure to enhance your playing experience. Professional players Larry Nevel and Dawn Hopkins can appreciate the greater cue ball control and shot accuracy of Viking cues due to the proprietary ferrule material and pro-tapered shafts. The entire team at Viking brings you 35 years of cue building experience made right here in the United States of America.

How it plays:
· Viking cues have a soft to medium hit due to the plastic joint and collar. Various joints will change the playability.
· Greater cue ball control and shot accuracy due to the proprietary ferrule material and pro-tapered shafts.

Features:
· With the exception of the tips, weight bolts and bumpers, Viking manufactures all of the materials used to make their cues.
· All Viking cues are covered with a UV polyurethane coating, which helps protect the cue and keep the wood and inlays from fading.
· Viking is the oldest manufacturer of cues sticks that are made in the USA. They have been in business since 1965.
