Description

The Viking Impero IM1500 pairs an East Indian rosewood forearm with 40 white premium pearl inlays and white premium pearl rings, finished with a double pressed Irish linen wrap. The butt plate is white premium pearl and carries the Viking logo.

It plays with Viking’s ViKORE performance shaft in hard rock maple, with a 12 to 14 inch pro taper, a Tiger Everest laminated tip and a Viking SUPER ferrule that is capped and threaded onto the shaft. The joint is stainless steel with a flat face and brass insert, paired with a stainless steel Viking 5/16 x 18 quick release pin. The finish is a three coat ultra-violet urethane and the bumper is threaded rubber.

Viking says it manufactures 99 percent of the parts used on its cues and that its cues are 100 percent American made. The lifetime warranty includes warpage, and weight can be selected from 18 to 21 ounces, with 19 ounces as the standard.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Viking Impero IM1500 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 IM1500 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 IM1500 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.
