Description

The Viking Impero IM0205 brings entry-level accessibility to Viking’s classically inspired Impero collection. The Impero series draws on traditional European design influences — rich wood tones, understated elegance, and a refinement that feels a step above the more graphically driven lines. Viking has been manufacturing pool cues in Madison, Wisconsin since 1965, and the Impero collection reflects their appreciation for cue-making as both craft and art.

The IM0205 features warm, natural tones with subtle design elements that give it a sophisticated look without being busy. It is a cue that appeals to players with an eye for classic style — the kind of cue that looks right at home in a leather case and plays with the precision you would expect from a Viking.

Hand-selected North American hard rock maple
Classic Impero design with warm, natural aesthetics

Irish linen wrap for traditional feel
Standard 58-inch length with weight options
Made in the USA with Viking’s lifetime warranty

The Impero IM0205 is a perfect choice for players who prefer their cue to whisper quality rather than shout it. Understated, well-built, and backed for life.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Viking Impero IM0205 use?

It uses a Viking Quick Release joint. That means any Viking Quick Release shaft will thread straight onto this butt, so you can add a spare or upgrade later without changing cues. If you are matching a shaft you already own, check its pin against Viking Quick Release before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Viking Impero IM0205 comes with a Classic Wood shaft. Carbon fiber will not warp, ignores humidity and deflects less; quality maple gives the traditional feel a lot of players still prefer. Both play at a high level, so pick the one that matches how you want the cue to feel.

What is the Viking Impero IM0205 built for?

It is set up as a playing cue. Playing cues are balanced for control on shot-making, break cues are heavier with a harder tip for power transfer, and jump cues are short and light to get the cue ball airborne. Using the right one also protects your playing cue from break wear.

What kind of grip does it have?

The grip is leather wrap. Irish linen wicks sweat and stays tacky, leather is plush and premium, and a no-wrap finish is fast and needs no maintenance. If your hands run warm, linen is usually the safer pick.

Is Quarter King an authorized Viking dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Viking dealer, so this cue is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty against warpage and defects in workmanship. Warranty claims go through us — you do not have to deal with the factory yourself.

How fast does it ship, and can I return it?

Shipping is free on orders over $98 in the contiguous US, $5.50 flat otherwise, and you get tracking as soon as it moves. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unchalked, unused product — contact us first for a return authorization so it is credited without delay.
