Description

The Viking Impero IM0500 sits in the heart of Viking’s classically inspired Impero collection, offering a strong balance of refined design and proven Viking construction. The Impero series stands apart from Viking’s more modern lines with its traditional European-influenced aesthetic — warm tones, elegant lines, and the kind of restrained sophistication that never goes out of style. Viking has been manufacturing in Madison, Wisconsin since 1965.

The IM0500 features a well-balanced design with classic accent work and a warm finish that highlights the natural beauty of the maple. It plays the way it looks — smooth, controlled, and deliberate. A cue for the player who values precision over power.

The Impero IM0500 hits the sweet spot of the collection — enough design refinement to feel premium, enough restraint to stay timeless. A cue you will be happy with for years.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Viking Impero IM0500 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 IM0500 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 IM0500 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 linen 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. Because this one is over $600, a 10% restocking fee applies to the return.
