Whose the Oldest Pool Cue Maker in the USA?

Did you know that Viking Cues is the largest and oldest pool cue manufacturer in the USA?

They have been in business since 1965. Viking pool cues are crafted with a keen attention to detail. Viking has experienced craftsman using CNC technology. These master artisans take the utmost care to provide you with a superior pool cue. Viking is a name that you can trust to deliver a great pool cue.

Here are 5 reasons to play with a Viking pool cue:

1. Viking pool cues are made differently than most other manufacturers' cues. Viking pool sticks hardly ever use metal or steel dowel pins to hold the wood pieces of a butt together. Viking cues uses a more reliable, natural way of constructing the pool cue butts by finger jointing the wood pieces of a pool cue butt together. Finger jointing the pieces of the pool cue butt improves the structural integrity and playability while further assuring straightness.

2. Viking cues are seasoned over an extended period of time, usually 12 to 24 months, in a climate-controlled environment to insure straightness.

3. Viking has not needed to repair one cracked ferrule since 1996. All it takes is some 400-600-grit sandpaper and you can lightly sand the area where you believe it to be cracked on your pool cue. Viking guarantees it is only a scratched pool stick ferrule and will sand out.

4. Your Viking pool cue has a pro taper of 12 to 14 inches and is designed to reduce cue ball deflection without adding any “after market” technology shafts.

5. Every Viking pool cue goes through the same stringent quality control standards as it makes its way through their production process. There are over a dozen quality control checks in Viking's process of making your pool cue.

Solid and Stripes Forever with McDermott's M2-2B Spirit of America

Solid and Stripes forever takes on a whole new meaning to pool players. July 4th is just around the corner. This is the holiday that we all take the day off to celebrate our independence from England. We spend time at the bbq, lounging in the pool, playing pool with friends, hanging out at the beach, watching parades or enjoying the fireworks. In the spirit of Independence Day, I have selected this McDermott pool stick to highlight.

The McDermott M2-2B-Spirit of America pool cue retails for msrp $249.00. Its hand selected North American Hard Rock maple forearm and sleeve is accented with metallic paint. I like the red but you can get several colors and the white is their better seller.

McDermott's M22-B pool cue features 2 deluxe 6 color lithograph images, which are the most expensive type of images. The images are of the American Bald Eagle against our American Flag. Very cool! A great way to show support for our troops is by playing with this cue.

This cue also features the exclusive McDermott Impact Control ring, made from a Polymer Matrix Composite developed by NASA, which maximizes feel. The black with blue specks Irish Linen wrap is double pressed and polished. It has a wood to wood joint with a 3/8 x10 stainless steel pin for a solid compact hit. You can self adjust the cue weights. Plus it has a lifetime warranty against Warpage and FREE Maintenance.

This is truly a great All American pool cue with quality craftsmanship and American workers standing behind it all the way.

Happy July 4th!

3 Worst Pool Cue Chalking Mistakes

Here are 3 simple pool cue chalking mistakes to avoid.

• Too Hard! The best way to apply pool cue chalk is with light brush strokes covering the entire tip of the pool cue.
• Not Enough! Make sure and apply cue chalk to the entire tip to prevent miscues. I personally like Masters cue chalk for the best consistency. Apply cue chalk before every shot.
• Grinding! That is a sure fire way to wear your pool cue tip down quickly. Brush over the tip lightly with your cue chalk.
