Every Viking Cue is made unique.
At Viking Cue, custom means custom. You have the option to vary any part of the cue to fit your aesthetic or performance needs—from joint and shaft to ring work and inlays. Create the look and the feel you want to match your playing style.
Why does Viking Cue offer so many options?
We want you to create a cue that will tell people “who you are” and a cue that “speaks to you.” Creating your Viking Cue might take some time, especially when choosing from all the exotic woods, metals, pearls, vinyl, stains, gemstones and designs we have to offer. Don’t forget, you can also choose your tip, taper and weight on ANY Viking Cue.
From the woods of Wisconsin to the woods of the world
Wisconsin folks have a strong history of knowing woods. This state was essentially founded on lumber camps, sawmills and wood products. In following that tradition, all the wood used here is hand-picked and inspected by our Viking artisans. In our lush woodlands and forests, the cold weather causes slower growth in trees which creates an ultra-dense timber with tighter rings. Choose from our state’s native hard rock maple or an exotic hardwood from around the globe. It’s all done with an expert eye toward quality, beauty and, above all, performance.
Viking stains
Viking offers a huge selection of vibrant colors of stain that will enhance the natural grains found in maple and Birdseye. Each beautiful, grain-enhancing stain is carefully hand-applied by a Viking technician.
Handcrafted wraps
Whether you select our double-pressed 100% Irish Linen Wrap or choose to lavish your cue with luxurious leather, all Viking wraps are professionally applied and will provide flawless performance year after year.
Achieve perfect balance
Using the Viking Precision Weight Bolt System, you can achieve perfect balance and fine-tune your cue with our unique stackable weights available in 1, 1.5 and 2 ounce bolts. The Viking Precision Weight Bolt System is standard on all Viking Cues.
Construction
We don’t skimp on the details. In fact, we believe the definitive value of a Viking is in our attention to details. Although hard to see from a distance, look closely at our threaded ring work and precision CNC inlays. Rings and inlays provide the fine aesthetics when using different woods and materials, but we join them in a way that maintains the solid feel of a one-piece cue. “Under the hood” you would see our exclusive finger joint dowel construction allowing our cues to play like an extension of yourself. It’s ultimately the unseen, small details that make our hand-crafted Viking cues unique and allow them to feel as good as they look.
Viking UV Finish
Viking Cues use many layers of UV finish. Between coats, the cues are painstakingly sanded by hand to give our cues the “glass-like” finish that Viking is known for. Also, this Viking glass encapsulates the wood and protects your cue from the elements. Viking UV Finish is not only beautiful, it is tough and made to last.
Rubber meets road
The Viking “Stay-Put” threaded rubber bumper protects and gives the butt end of our cues a sleek, minimalist profile. When you build a solid cue like a Viking, you don’t need a distracting, bloated cushion at the end of your cue. Because they are threaded, you never have to worry about them falling off of your cue.
Simply indestructible ferrule
Exclusively designed, tested and manufactured inside Viking Cue, our indestructible SUPER ferrule exceeds every quality standard with over a quarter million in play and not one cracked ferrule. No other ferrule in the business can say that.
Best tips
With every Viking Cue, you get a performance tip standard. Depending on the model, a Viking will be armed with a LePro Medium Tip, the Tiger Everest® Medium Tip or the Kamui™ Black Soft Tip. For players, tips are a personal choice and the reason we offer nearly all other quality manufacturers tips.
Taper options
The taper of a shaft should fit that player’s shooting style and skill level. All Viking Cues come standard with 12-14” pro taper which gives all our shafts natural low-deflecting properties. For those that demand more power, we offer a conical taper.
Quick release joint & pin
The Viking Quick Release Joint and Pin reduces the time and effort required to connect our two-piece cues. Depending on the joint style, you will get a different feel when hitting, ranging from soft to hard. Exclusively designed, tested and machine cut on our state-of-the-art CNC lathes, every one of our joints is made with a flawless seam for dead-on accuracy, every time.
Performance shafts
Viking performance shafts are born from innovative design and built with a passion for craftsmanship and performance. On a Viking Cue, these shafts are pure precision and accuracy. The revolutionary Viking eXactShot®, the players choice ViKORE® and the solid V PRO® shafts are dominating performers and certainly embody our motto “Nothing conquers a Viking”.
- V PRO® Shaft - The Viking V PRO® shaft starts with engineering excellence. If you are looking for more power, the V PRO CRUSH® is your shaft. For more spin, the V PRO SPIN® is your shaft. To maximize accuracy, the V PRO is your shaft. Or do what many top players are doing, get all 3 and make any shot on the table!
- ViKORE® American Performance Shaft -The ViKORE® American Performance Shaft features advanced low deflection and enhanced power from our reactive ViKORE Center. What does this mean? Enhanced feel and low vibration. Every ViKORE shaft is designed to help players take their game to the next level. Players around the country agree that these shafts will help you hit the ball straighter, so that you pocket more shots.
- eXactShot® Pure Performance Shaft - The all-new eXactShot® Pure Performance Shaft has everything you need, combined with everything you want. Get pure responsive power with ultra-low deflection from our patented eX-Core® construction and radically enhanced accuracy using the sightlines. What does this mean? You get greater accuracy and more shots made. In fact, we feel the eXactShot is REVOLUTIONARY.
Every Viking Performance Shaft and cue are proudly Made in the USA and handcrafted in our facility in Madison, Wisconsin. Every Viking product demonstrates our commitment to you with a Lifetime Warranty against defects, including warpage.
WOODS
We smell the sawdust everyday.
Wisconsin folks have a strong history of knowing woods. This state was essentially founded on lumber camps, sawmills and wood products. In following that tradition, all the wood used here is handpicked and inspected by our Viking artisans.
The secret to straight cues is starting with properly cured woods then using mutable turns and seasoning to relieve stress. To completely cure a Viking Cue, it takes 1 - 2 years. No, it’s not the cheapest way, but it is the best.
Whether we use our state’s native hard rock maple or an exotic hardwood from the other side of the globe, it’s all done with an expert eye toward quality, beauty and, above all, performance.

JOINT STYLES
It's your hit.
Regardless of the materials used, Viking joints have wood-on-wood contact surfaces for a natural, more solid feel.
The different shaft and butt material combinations modify the type of hit produced. The type of hit refers to how the cue feels when energy flows down the shaft, through the joint, and into the butt upon striking the ball. In most instances, joint selection is merely a matter of personal preference.
Viking manufactures each joint component in-house to assure the parts are flawless. Then, using custom-designed CNC machinery, we assemble the joints to assure dead-on accuracy.
| Joint Code | Butt Material | Shaft Material | Type of Hit |
| A | High-Impact Implex Resin | High-Impact Implex Resin | Soft |
| B | Stainless Steel | High-Impact Implex Resin | Firm |
| C | Stainless Steel | Stainless Steel | Hard |
| D | Maple | Maple | Soft, Hustler Style |

TIPS
Performance tips come standard.
With every Viking Cue, you get a performance tip standard. Depending on the model, a Viking will be armed with a Le Pro Medium Tip, the Tiger Everest® Medium Tip or the Kamui™ Black Soft Tip. For players, tips are a personal choice and the reason we offer nearly all other quality manufacturers tips.
Tip Options
Kamui™ Black Soft Tips
The KAMUI™ Black tip is designed to add more spin to your game. The player can put more spin to the cue ball with relatively slower speed of the pool cue. The elasticity of the black leather absorbs the momentum of the cue to propel the cue ball with desired spin.
Tiger Everest® Laminated Tips
The Tiger Everest Laminated is known as the most durable and advanced cue tip ever created. The special red layer warns when replacement is needed. This tip shapes like a hard tip, hits like a medium and has control like a soft tip.
Le Professional Tips
Le Professional (“Le Pro”) tips are an industry standard, crafted from vegetable-tanned oak leather. The Le Pro Tip has a special protective coating that seals and preserves the leather until the cue is ready to play.
Viking Phenolic Tips
Viking Phenolic Tips are 100% made in-house at our home here in Wisconsin. Our phenolic tips come standard on Break and Jump Cues that have been getting rave reviews as the best performing specialty cues you can buy.
PEARLS
Pearl, Stone, Shell, and More.
With all the beautiful and timeless selections available, choosing the perfect pearl, stone or shell for your Viking Cue might take some time. That's why we put all of the options right here so you can make the choices that evoke your feelings and express your character.

SKINNY CUES
Introducing Viking Skinny Cues.
You asked for them, and here they are! Slimmer, leaner and meaner, these cues have been working out so you can work the competition. Skinny cues are available on most Viking models as a standard or an upgrade.
The "skinny option" on a Viking Cue butt measures out about 1.205" thick, compared to the average standard size of 1.295" in thickness.This may not seem like a big difference, but to the players that prefer the feeling of a smaller grip, the difference is HUGE!!!
