The Viking Defender Series represents masterful engineering wrapped in timeless elegance. Crafted from natural-stained Birdseye Maple with five Ebony points, each inlaid with White Pearl chess pieces—Bishop, Knight, Rook, Queen, and King—this cue transforms strategic play into an art form. The 12.75mm ViKORE performance shaft paired with an Everest® laminated tip delivers precision and control, while the capped Viking SUPER Ferrule guarantees unwavering consistency. Black embossed leather wrapping provides a commanding grip, and the triple-coat UV urethane finish protects against the elements. Meticulously turned over 18 to 24 months for exceptional straightness, anchored by a high-impact IMA joint with brass insert and Viking Quick Release pin, this cue merges collector-worthy artistry with tournament-grade performance. A warpage guarantee ensures lasting reliability for the discerning player.
