About Valhalla Cues
About Valhalla Pool Cues
Valhalla is Viking Cue's budget focused import line, built to give new and casual players a real two piece pool cue without Viking's full custom cue pricing. Quarter King's Valhalla shelf holds 50 cues, all in stock, spread across the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 900 Series, the separately styled Garage Series, and one jump cue, the VA-JMP2. Pricing across that range runs from about $140 up to about $280, with the jump cue priced at about $250. Viking's own catalog also lists a Series 120 line and a Break/Jump collection under the Valhalla name, including break cues, break/jump combo cues, and an H-Series; those are not part of what Quarter King stocks today, so this shelf is a curated slice of Valhalla's full range rather than every model Viking sells under the name.
Construction, in plain English
Every cue on this shelf shares the same core build: a 5/16x18 joint, a 13.00mm shaft in what Viking describes as North American or Canadian hard rock maple, and a Triangle brand leather tip sourced from Tweeten USA. What changes from series to series is the wrap and finish. Some models are wrapless, with a painted or stained forearm; others use Irish linen, and the 900 Series is finished entirely in leather. None of that changes how a cue screws together, but it does change how a cue feels in the hand and what it costs. Anyone unfamiliar with the terms joint, ferrule, or wrap can check the plain language definitions on the glossary.

100 Series
Valhalla's 100 Series is the brand's entry point at Quarter King: 20 cues priced at about $140 for the wrapless models and about $150 for the linen wrapped versions. Colors and stains vary by model, from natural maple to painted finishes, but the joint, shaft, and tip stay consistent across the line. VA101 is a representative wrapless model in this series.
200 Series
The 200 Series carries 10 cues at about $160, most of them wrapless with exotic wood accents and inlay work Viking adds above the 100 Series. One model in the line uses a nylon wrap and another uses linen; the rest are wrapless. VA204 is one of the wrapless options.
300 Series
Four cues make up the 300 Series at about $190, three finished with a linen wrap and one wrapless. Viking's product copy describes this line as featuring classic point designs with a premium finish over the 100 and 200 Series. VA341 is a linen wrapped example.
400 Series
The 400 Series is a small, three cue line at about $230, all finished in linen wrap. It sits between the 300 and 500 Series on price and, per Viking, adds exotic wood points and inlay work over the lower series. VA486 is one of the three models.
500 Series
Two cues make up the 500 Series at about $250, both linen wrapped. This is the second highest priced numbered series Quarter King carries and sits just below the 900 Series on cost. VA502 is one of the two models.
900 Series
The 900 Series is Valhalla's top numbered line at Quarter King: three cues at about $280, and the only series finished entirely in leather wrap rather than linen. Viking builds this line with the same 5/16x18 joint and 13.00mm shaft as the rest of the range. VA901 is one of the three models.
Garage Series
The Garage Series breaks from Valhalla's numbered naming and pricing pattern with seven cues at about $180, all linen wrapped. Viking's own marketing describes this line as bringing bold graphics and vibrant colors to the value segment, aimed at players who want a cue that looks different from the rest of the numbered lineup. VG022 is one of the seven Garage Series cues.
Jump cue
Quarter King carries one dedicated Valhalla jump cue, the VA-JMP2, at about $250. It shares Valhalla's standard 5/16x18 joint and 13.00mm shaft but is built specifically for jumping over a blocking ball rather than everyday play, so most players keep it as a second cue rather than their primary.
Choosing a series
In customer service correspondence shared on the AZBilliards forums, a Viking representative said the Valhalla range is mostly built by the same manufacturer across models, with the same tip, taper, and joint pin design regardless of price, so most of what separates a $140 cue from a $280 cue is finish and wrap rather than the underlying build. For a first cue on a tight budget, the 100 Series covers the same joint, shaft, and warranty as every other Valhalla line for the lowest entry price, and the choice between wrapless and linen comes down to grip preference rather than durability. Players who want more visual presence without paying 400 or 500 Series pricing tend to look at the 200 or 300 Series, where exotic wood accents and point work start to appear. The 400 and 500 Series suit players who have decided they want a linen wrap and a more finished look and are willing to pay for it, while the 900 Series is the pick for anyone set on a leather wrap. The Garage Series sits apart from that price ladder entirely: it is a style choice for players who want a graphic look rather than traditional point work, at a price between the 200 and 300 Series.
Colors and finishes across the shelf
Beyond series and wrap, Valhalla cues at Quarter King span a wide range of stains and colors. The 100 Series and Garage Series carry the most variety, from natural maple and traditional brown or tan stains to bolder blues, greens, oranges, pinks, purples, and yellows. The 200 Series leans more toward exotic wood accents finished in black, white, blue, and green, while the 900 Series, the smallest run on this shelf, keeps to black, brown, red, and blue leather finishes. Shoppers who care more about look than series numbering can browse by color as easily as by price.
Joint, shaft and compatibility
Every Valhalla cue on this shelf uses a 5/16x18 joint and a 13.00mm shaft built from what Viking calls hard rock maple, categorized on Quarter King's site under classic wood. That combination means a Valhalla shaft is not a specialty fit. Viking's warranty excludes shafts under 11.75mm from coverage, but every Valhalla shaft here is 13.00mm, well above that threshold, so warranty coverage is not a concern on this shelf. Players who eventually want to try a low deflection shaft, or who need a replacement shaft after a break, can browse Quarter King's full shaft selection for options built to the same thread standard.
Who Valhalla Pool Cues suits
This shelf is built for players buying a cue for themselves for the first time, or for a casual player who wants something better than a house cue without paying for hand inlay work. Players on the AZBilliards forums are divided on how the line plays. Some describe it as stiff and say it does not feel like Viking's higher end cues. Others, including at least one former pool hall employee who sold a large number of them, argue that for the price, especially once the factory tip is swapped for something better, a Valhalla is hard to beat, and point to the lifetime warranty against warping as a real advantage over similarly priced alternatives.
Warranty and what to know
Valhalla cues carry Viking's lifetime warranty, covering warpage and the cue's components for the life of the product, with the usual exclusions for wear parts like the tip, ferrule, finish, wrap, and bumper. Valhalla claims differ from Viking's own cues in one respect: a covered Valhalla cue is repaired or replaced, with the same model or one of equal value, one time only. Warranty coverage requires registering the cue with Viking within 60 days of purchase and keeping the original receipt, and for claims reported within 30 days, Viking covers return shipping within the continental United States. Quarter King is an authorized Valhalla dealer, so every cue on this shelf carries that coverage from the day it ships.

What Valhalla is known for
Valhalla is Viking Cue Manufacturing's budget import line — Viking's way of putting a lifetime-warrantied cue in front of players who aren't ready to spend Viking-USA money. The lineup runs from plain, no-wrap sticks in the 100 Series up through graphic-heavy 500 and 900 Series cues with point transfers and Euro stains, plus a pearlescent Garage Series and dedicated break/jump models. Buyers are typically new players, casual bar-box shooters, or anyone buying a first "real" cue with adjustable weight and a decent leather tip, rather than players chasing tournament-grade low-deflection performance. Every Valhalla ships with North American hard rock maple, a 5/16x18 joint, and Viking's interchangeable weight-bolt system, so it plays like a step up from a house cue without custom-cue pricing.
We currently stock 63 Valhalla items, from $140 to $383.
| Line | Typical price | Known for |
|---|---|---|
| 100 / 120 Series | $140 – $150 | No-wrap or linen-wrap starter cues in solid stains — the true entry point |
| 200 / 300 Series | $160 – $185 | Two-tone monochromatic and marble-paint finishes with more graphic detail |
| 400 Series | $225 | Original artwork and multi-point veneer graphics on the same maple build |
| 500 / 900 Series | $250 – $275 | Top of the line — multi-color point transfers or premium Euro stain finishes |
| Valhalla Garage | $175 | Pearlescent paint jobs with matching pearl ring work |

What joint does Valhalla use, and which shafts fit?
About 100% of the Valhalla cues we stock use the 5/16X18 joint. The joint is what decides shaft fitment — thread and face both have to match, so a shaft cut for a different pin will not thread on no matter how good it is.
Shafts that fit most Valhalla cues
Everything with a 5/16X18 joint · Joint & pin identifier · Shaft fit finder
Valhalla technology, in plain English
- Interchangeable Weight-Bolt System
- A bolt in the grip lets you add up to 5 oz in small increments instead of being stuck with one fixed weight.
- 5/16x18 full-thread joint
- CNC-machined stainless pin and brass shaft insert; Viking notes it may not mate cleanly with non-Viking aftermarket shafts.
- Tweeten USA leather tip
- Every Valhalla ships with a solid Triangle-brand leather tip rather than a generic pressed tip.
- High Impact Resin ferrule
- A durable synthetic ferrule — a different, less expensive material than the ferrule Viking machines in-house for its USA-built line.
What players say about Valhalla
Consistently praised for
- Owners consistently call it a lot of cue for the price, with a smooth, well-balanced hit.
- Multiple buyers report no detectable warping and low deflection even after regular play.
- The weight-bolt system lets players strip the cue down under 16 oz for faster breaks, something a few reviewers specifically praised.
- Orders reportedly ship fast, often within two to three business days, and customer service gets called out by name in reviews.
- The engraving option is a small personalization touch first-time cue buyers appreciate.
Common criticisms
- At least one owner found the stock shaft noticeably less slick than name-brand shafts from McDermott or Cuetec, gripping the bridge hand more than expected.
- Valhalla uses a generic high-impact resin ferrule rather than the ferrule Viking machines in-house for its USA line — a real materials difference, not just marketing.
- It's a production import cue: finishes are catalog stains, paint, and point transfers rather than hand-inlaid work, so don't expect custom-shop detailing at this price.
- Country-of-manufacture messaging has confused at least one buyer, who publicly complained that Viking's site showed "Made in USA" language even while browsing Valhalla, which Viking otherwise markets as an import line.
Who makes Valhalla?
Valhalla is a brand of Viking Cue Manufacturing. Valhalla is Viking Cue Manufacturing, LLC's budget/import cue line. Viking's own site describes it as "designed and engineered by the artisans at Viking" but markets it separately as "A Premium Import Cue Line," distinct from the USA-built Viking cues. Viking Cue Manufacturing, LLC honors the lifetime warranty for both brands.
Brands under the same roof:
- Viking Cues — Viking's premium USA-made line — Valhalla is the budget/import counterpart with different materials and construction
- Made in: Not disclosed by Valhalla or its retailers — Viking markets Valhalla as "A Premium Import Cue Line" and titles nearly every Valhalla product page "Premium Import Cue," distinct from Viking's USA-built cues, but no source names the specific country of manufacture.
- Warranty: Lifetime warranty against warpage and manufacturing defects in all components, honored by Viking Cue Manufacturing, LLC. Excludes wear parts (tip, ferrule, finish, wrap, bumper); shafts 11.75mm or thinner are not covered. The cue must be registered within 60 days of purchase with proof of purchase from an authorized Viking/Valhalla dealer, is non-transferable to a second owner, and the warranty is void if the cue is repaired by anyone other than Viking.
Also worth a look at this price
If you like where Valhalla sits on price but want to compare before you commit, these land in the same range:
- Players Cues — similarly priced budget import cues with more traditional colorways
- Action Cues — entry-level American-brand cues at a comparable price point
- McDermott Lucky Series — budget sub-line from a bigger-name American cue maker
- Cuetec entry cues — budget fiberglass-reinforced cues with a more durable finish at a similar price
Brand Compatibility
The joint is what decides whether a shaft fits, and every cue in Valhalla Cues uses the 5/16X18 pin. That is the same 5/16X18 pin used across Action, Meucci, Players, Rage and Xcel, so shafts move between them — always confirm the exact pin before buying.

Frequently asked questions about Valhalla Cues
Which Valhalla series is the best value?
The 100 Series, at about $140 to $150, gets a new player the same joint, shaft, and warranty as the rest of the lineup for the lowest entry cost.
Do all Valhalla cues use the same joint?
Yes. Every Valhalla cue Quarter King carries uses a 5/16x18 joint and a 13.00mm shaft, regardless of series or price.
Which Valhalla cues come wrapless?
Most of the 100 and 200 Series ship wrapless with a painted or stained forearm. The 300 through 900 Series and the Garage Series are mostly or entirely wrapped.
Is the VA-JMP2 different from Valhalla's regular cues?
It shares the same joint and shaft as the numbered series but is built for jumping over blocking balls, so most players keep it as a second cue.
What is the price range for Valhalla pool cues at Quarter King?
Valhalla cues here run from about $140 for a 100 Series model up to about $280 for a 900 Series leather wrapped cue.
