Description

Viking Blue stained curly maple colors the forearm and butt sleeve of the VIK0117, a Kayano Series playing cue. The handle wears an Irish linen wrap, and the butt closes with a black plate carrying a silver Viking USA logo plus a threaded rubber bumper.

The 29 inch shaft is ViKORE hard rock maple aged 5 years, with 9 to 11 turnings over 18 to 24 months and a 12 to 14 inch pro taper. Viking caps and threads a SUPER ferrule onto the shaft and fits a Tiger Everest laminated tip. The joint is a flat-faced high impact black piece with a brass insert, mated to a 5/16×18 quick release pin made of stainless steel.

The weight bolt allows adjustment from Viking’s standard Kayano weight of 19 oz. It includes no extension, case or joint protectors. The cue is made in the USA, and the lifetime warranty extends to warpage.

Weight & Balance

This model takes a weight-bolt system, so the weight and balance point can be tuned after purchase. Adding weight toward the butt moves the balance rearward for a more planted feel; less weight shifts it forward for a livelier stroke. The balance point on a finished cue usually sits about 18 to 19 inches from the butt.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Viking VIK0117 Kayano Series Cue use?

It uses a Viking 5/16x18 Quick Release joint. That means any Viking 5/16x18 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 5/16x18 Quick Release before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Viking VIK0117 Kayano Series Cue?

This cue ships with a 13.00mm shaft. Thinner shafts put more spin on the cue ball and feel crisper through the stroke; larger diameters feel fuller and are more forgiving on off-centre hits. Neither is better — it comes down to how you like the cue to hit.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Viking VIK0117 Kayano Series Cue 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 VIK0117 Kayano Series Cue 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.

Compatible Shafts

This cue uses a Viking Quick Release joint, so these shafts thread straight onto it. Not sure? Send us the cue and we will confirm the fit before you buy.
