The sleek Viking VX01 pool cue uses a UV polyurethane coating to add shine and protection to the black stained maple forearm and sleeve for an ultra glossy appearance. Smoke colored pearlite and silver rings and a black Irish linen wrap with white specks completes the silky look. Performance wise, this cue gives a soft to medium hit due to the plastic joint and collar. Proprietary methods of manufacturing and materials promote straightness, cue ball control and shot accuracy, resulting in a cue with great playability. In business since 1965, Viking is the oldest manufacture of cue sticks made in the USA. With the exception of the tips, weight bolts and bumpers, Viking manufactures all of the materials used to make their cues. Pro players including Dawn Hopkins, Denny Coulter and Larry Nevel play with Viking cues.Weight Changes: Viking cues have a changeable weight system.
