How it plays:

• Viking cues have a soft to medium hit due to the plastic joint and collar.
• Various joints will change the playability.
• Greater cue ball control and shot accuracy due to the proprietary ferrule material and pro-tapered shafts.
• Improved structural integrity, straightness and playability are brought to you through proprietary methods of manufacturing.
