Proprietary manufacturing techniques behind the Viking VX04 pool stick result in a cue with structural integrity, straightness and playability. The cue ball control and shot accuracy of this cue is second to none, and it incorporates a plastic joint and collar to produce a soft to medium hit. A natural appearance is generated by the use of brown stained maple on the forearm and sleeve and a black Irish linen wrap with orange specks. Gold colored pearlite rings and delicate white dots add just a hint of design to this straightforward cue. To add protection and keep the wood colors and inlays from fading, the cue is covered in a UV polyurethane coating. 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.
