Material Selection
We carefully select all materials from a closely vetted roster of
resource providers. This enables us to provide you with the most
unique custom cues.
Woods
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 understands that what we put in your cue today affects the world tomorrow.
With evolving, energy-saving production techniques and the development of alternative
sources for materials that put as much back into the land as they remove, we hope to move
closer to achieving the goal of a net-zero effect on our environment with each step we take.
Stains
It can attract attention or change your mood. It can help define your personality, even how you play. That's why we spent so much time coming up with the new stain colors. We picked vibrant colors that we know will enhance the natural grain of the maple we use for Viking Cues.
So go ahead, pick one that's as individual as a custom Viking and the player that will be using it...you!
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.

IMA Options
Using a proprietary, space-age Impact Modified Acrylic resin (IMA) originally developed for NASA, the standard butt caps on Viking cues are nearly unbreakable. They’re available in 3 colors and can be matched at the joint. Aesthetically pleasing & a key component in the durability of your cue.
Skinny Cues
Slimmer, leaner and meaner. You asked for the option and here it is. Skinny cues have been working out so you can work the competition. Skinny cues are available on most Viking models as an upgrade.
The "SKINNY" option on a Viking cue butt measures out about 1.205" (30.6 mm) in diameter compared to the average standard diameter of 1.295" (33 mm). This may not seem like a big difference, but to the players that prefer the feeling of a smaller grip, the difference is HUGE!
Weight

Located where your hand rests rather than behind it, using the Viking Precision Weight Bolt System you can achieve perfect, natural 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.
