Gain balance and a sense of order when you play with the green Viking G02G pool stick. Forest green stained maple on the forearm and sleeve is complemented by a black Irish linen wrap with green specks for a very harmonious feel to this powerful instrument. The cue is coated in a UV polyurethane finish to help protect the cue and keep the woods from fading. You146ll appreciate the great cue ball control and shot accuracy that comes as a result of the proprietary ferrule material and pro taper shaft. And the plastic joint and collar gives the soft to medium hit preferred by many players. Overall, this is a straight cue with great playability. In business since 1965, Viking is the oldest manufacture of cue sticks made in the USA. With the exception of the tips, weight bolts and bumpers, Viking manufactures all of the materials used to make their cues. Pro players including Dawn Hopkins, Denny Coulter and Larry Nevel play with Viking cues.
