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.
