Valhalla VA101 Black No Wrap Pool Cue
The Valhalla VA101 gives you clean, classic style and dependable performance at a price that's easy on your budget. Designed by the engineers at Viking Cue, it's a great first cue for newer players and a reliable everyday or backup cue for experienced players.
Clean Black Style
The forearm and butt sleeve are North American hard rock maple in a deep black stain. Thin metal rings at the joint and butt sleeve add subtle contrast, and the Valhalla by Viking logo finishes the look. A UV-cured urethane finish protects the cue from moisture and everyday wear.
Wrapless Grip
With no wrap, the butt feels smooth and consistent from end to end. Your grip hand can slide naturally to any position, and many players like the direct feedback a wrapless cue gives through the stroke.
Smooth, Consistent Hit
The North American hard rock maple shaft has a pro taper for a smooth, even stroke through the bridge hand. A high impact resin ferrule and a 13mm premium leather tip give you a solid hit and good cue ball control on every shot.
Dial In Your Weight
The cue comes standard at 19 oz. You can order it from 18 to 21 oz. in half-ounce steps, and Viking's interchangeable weight bolt system sits in the grip for a natural balance point, so you can adjust the feel as your game develops.
Lifetime Warranty
Like every Valhalla cue, the VA101 is backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, including warpage.
