How it plays: Viking cues have a soft to
medium hit due to the plastic joint and collar. Greater cue
ball control and shot accuracy due to the proprietary
ferrule material and pro-tapered shafts. Improved
structural integrity, straightness and playability are
brought to you through proprietary methods of manufacturing.
Pro players like Dawn Hopkins, Denny Coulter, and Larry
Nevel play with Viking cues. Viking is the oldest
manufacturer of cues sticks that are made in the USA. They
have been in business since 1965. 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.
