Viking has been building pool cues in the USA since 1965, and the standards they set in their first decade are still the ones they hold themselves to today. Every Viking cue goes through a 27-step finishing process, uses Northwoods maple, and ships with a 100% lifetime warranty against warpage and manufacturing defects. If you're looking for a cue that's built to last and backed by one of the most respected names in American billiards, you're in the right place. FCI Billiards carries Viking playing cues, break cues, jump cues, and the entry-level Valhalla series.
Why Viking Cues
Viking builds cues the way they've always built them, by hand, in America, with materials and processes that don't cut corners. Here's what separates them from the rest of the market:
1
27-Step Finishing Process
Viking applies multiple coats of UV finish to every cue, hand-sanding between each coat. The result is the glass-like surface Viking cues are known for, a finish that doesn't just look good but seals and protects the wood underneath for the long term.
2
Viking SUPER Ferrule
Every Viking cue ships with the proprietary Viking SUPER ferrule, engineered from a material that handles the stress of play better than standard ferrule materials. It's designed to maintain its integrity over years of hard use, protecting both the shaft and the tip installation above it.
3
Adjustable Weight Bolt System
All Viking cues come standard with an adjustable weight bolt system, letting you fine-tune the feel and balance of the cue to match your stroke. It's a feature that's standard on every model in the lineup, not an upgrade.
4
100% Lifetime Warranty
Viking backs every cue they make with a lifetime warranty against warpage and manufacturing defects. This applies to both Viking and Valhalla cues. It's a warranty that reflects genuine confidence in the product, and it's one of the strongest guarantees in the industry.
The Viking Lineup at FCI Billiards
Viking produces cues for every level of player and every type of shot. Here's a breakdown of what's available:
Viking Playing Cues+
Viking's core playing cue lineup is where you'll find the full expression of their craftsmanship, premium Northwoods maple, exotic inlays, intricate designs, and the ViKORE performance shaft for players who want low-deflection performance from a wood shaft. Models range from clean and understated to highly detailed collector-grade pieces.
Valhalla Series+
The
Valhalla series is Viking's entry-level line, designed for players who want proven Viking quality and the same lifetime warranty at a more accessible price. Valhalla cues are a solid starting point for beginners and a dependable backup option for experienced players.
Break and Jump Cues−
FCI carries Viking
break cues and
jump cues built with the same standards as the playing cue lineup. Viking break cues are engineered for power and consistency on the opening shot, while the jump cues are built for the control needed to execute precise jump shots.
Limited Edition and Collector Cues−
Viking periodically releases limited edition cues that are as collectible as they are playable. The
Viking Two Feathers Limited Edition is one example, featuring over 230 inlays of genuine turquoise, pearls, metals, and premium birdseye maple. These are worth grabbing when they're available.
Frequently Asked Questions About Viking Cues
Common questions about Viking cues answered below. Feel free to contact us if you need anything else.
Where are Viking pool cues made?+
Every Viking and Valhalla cue is made in the USA. Viking has been manufacturing in America since 1965 and hasn't outsourced their production. That domestic manufacturing is a core part of what makes Viking cues what they are.
What is the Viking lifetime warranty?+
Viking offers a 100% lifetime warranty against warpage and manufacturing defects on all Viking and Valhalla cues. The warranty covers the original owner and requires the cue to be registered with Viking. It does not cover damage from misuse, accidents, or modifications. Contact us if you have a warranty question about a specific model.
What is the ViKORE shaft?+
The ViKORE is Viking's performance wood shaft, designed to reduce deflection while maintaining the feel of a traditional maple shaft. It's available on select Viking cues and as a standalone upgrade, giving players who prefer wood shafts a low-deflection option without moving to carbon fiber.
How do I identify my Viking cue model?+
Look for design markings and any signature inlays such as the Two Feathers design associated with the TF series. Viking also maintains a
cue archive on their website where you can cross-reference designs and model numbers. If you're still not sure, contact our team and we'll help you identify it.
Which Viking cue is right for my skill level?+
Beginners and recreational players are well served by the
Valhalla series, which delivers genuine Viking quality at a lower price point. Intermediate and competitive players tend to gravitate toward the Viking playing cue lineup, particularly models featuring the ViKORE shaft. If you're not sure where to start, contact our team and we'll help you narrow it down based on your game and budget.
How do I maintain my Viking cue?+
Wipe the shaft down after each session with a clean, dry cloth to remove chalk and oils. For a deeper clean, use a shaft cleaner occasionally. Store the cue in a
cue case in a cool, dry place, and avoid leaving it in a car or anywhere subject to extreme temperature swings. Check the tip periodically and replace it when it mushrooms or wears flat.
