Valhalla VA101 Pool Cue by Viking – Black, No Wrap
The Valhalla VA101 is a sleek two-piece cue engineered by Viking Cue in Wisconsin and made at a good value. It has a deep black stain over North American hard rock maple, with no wrap, so the grip feels smooth and you can slide your hand anywhere along the butt. Thin metal rings at the joint and butt sleeve add subtle contrast, and the "VALHALLA by Viking" logo sits on the butt sleeve.
The shaft is North American hard rock maple with a pro taper, which gives a smooth, consistent stroke through the bridge hand. A high-impact resin ferrule and a premium leather tip give a solid hit and good cue ball control. The standard tip is 13mm, and smaller sizes from 11.75mm to 12.75mm are available as upgrades. A stainless steel 5/16 x 18 joint keeps the two pieces lined up for a stable feel.
The weight system adjusts, so you can set the cue anywhere from 18 to 21 oz to suit your stroke. A tough UV-cured urethane finish protects the cue from moisture and everyday wear. Like every Valhalla cue, the VA101 comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, including warping. It's a dependable first cue, a great upgrade from house cues, or a reliable backup.
