If you operate a billiard business (billiard room, pool and spa store, leisure store, billiard supply store, etc.) from a retail storefront and have a valid local or state sales permit, you should contact us. Ask to speak with one of our account representatives about the requirements to become and benefits of being an authorized Viking Cue dealer.
How does Viking compare to other manufacturers?
Viking cues are made differently than most other manufacturers' cues. We rarely ever use metal or steel dowel pins to hold the wood pieces of a butt together. Instead, we utilize a more reliable, natural way of constructing the butts of our cues by finger jointing the wood pieces of a butt together. Finger jointing the pieces of the butt improves the structural integrity and playability while further assuring straightness. We season (condition) our wood over an extended period of time (usually 12 to 24 months) in a climate-controlled environment to insure straightness. We offer more standard models at more price points than any other cue manufacturer. That means we are likely to have a cue that matches your personality and budget. The number of no-charge options (stain, wrap, and pearl colors) we offer is far greater than any other cue company. We encourage you to take advantage of all of the options we offer so you get a "customized" cue that meets your specifications. Lastly, we support the game and sport more than any other cue company. We encourage participation through our support of the sport by making the best cues and offering the most value.
What determines the price of a Viking cue?
The price of a Viking
cue is determined by the intricacy of the design, the machinery involved
in making the parts for the cue, the number of parts, the cost of the
parts and materials, and the labor required to construct the cue. Viking
advertises the suggested retail price. Dealer pricing may vary.
Can I design my own cue and have Viking make it for me?
Yes, but expect to pay a minimum of $1,000 as the process to go from concept to finished product is rather tedious and expensive. Computer (CAD/CAM) programming is $100 per hour. Materials and labor are also very expensive to make just one cue from a custom design. Custom decal cues are not available.
What other kinds of products does Viking offer?
In addition to our fine
cues, we also sell cue cases (each with the Viking logo embroidered),
joint protectors, Q-Wiz, and logo apparel (t-shirts, sport shirts, and caps).
These items are also available through your nearest authorized Viking
Cue dealer.
