Description

The Viking V-Crush is a performance shaft for breaking and jumping. Viking calls it the most powerful shaft it has produced and says it pairs accuracy with power. It comes standard with Viking’s own phenolic tip, which Viking makes in house in Wisconsin, and it is the shaft fitted to Viking’s break and jump cues.

The joint type is chosen when ordering. The options are the 5/16 x 18 Viking Quick Release, 5/16 x 18 full thread (which Viking notes is the style used on most Valhalla cues), 5/16 x 14 full thread, 3/8 x 10 full thread, Radial full thread and Uni-Loc quick release. Because a shaft has to match the pin on the butt it is going onto, check the joint on your cue before choosing.

Viking notes that for shaft-only purchases it cannot guarantee a fit onto your cue unless the butt is sent to Viking. Viking lists the shaft as 100 percent made in the USA.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Viking V-Crush Performance Shaft use?

It uses a 3/8X10, 5/16X14, 5/16X18, Radial, Uni-Loc, Viking Quick Release joint. That means any 3/8X10, 5/16X14, 5/16X18, Radial, Uni-Loc, 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 3/8X10, 5/16X14, 5/16X18, Radial, Uni-Loc, Viking Quick Release before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Viking V-Crush Performance Shaft 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 V-Crush Performance Shaft built for?

It is set up as a break, jump 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.

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.
