A NEW Spin on Carbon Fiber Shafts
Until now, the billiard industry has relied on a carbon fiber shaft construction process of wrapping thin sheets of resin pre-impregnated carbon fiber around a steel form and overlapping the individual sheets as the diameter and taper of the shaft varies. This process of overlapping the sheets leaves undesired variations in wall thickness and stiffness and introduces radial inconsistencies over the length of the shaft in addition to requiring a final sanding process to create a smooth, even surface.
Viking is taking a step in an entirely different direction. The carbon fiber process used to create the Viking Siege Pure Performance Shaft allows the carbon fiber and resin to be wound on the shaft structure in a single, continuous process weaving the fiber and applying resin simultaneously. Because sheet overlaps have been eliminated with this process, the end result is a more uniform structure with increased radial consistency and a smooth, sealed, un-sanded outer
surface that stays cleaner and glides smoothly across your skin.

SIMPLY BETTER. BETTER BALANCE AND BETTER FEEL.
When it comes to feel, the engineers at Viking chose a new approach to create a balanced shaft with improved sound characteristics and significantly reduced vibration. The Viking Siege shaft utilizes a new vibration dampening system that allows us to introduce mass over the length of the shaft. This new process not only significantly reduces the vibration found in most Carbon Fiber shafts but also provides a balanced, natural feel unmatched in the industry yet still efficiently transferring wicked energy to the cue ball.
The Viking Siege is available in 12.25, 12.5 and 12.75mm tip sizes and is available in most common joint styles available in the market.

Indestructible Ferrule
Viking has developed a specially-formulated, high‑impact resin SUPER ferrule that is not just reactive, but simply indestructible.

All-In Performance

From tip to joint, all components within the Siege are designed to function as one. Whether you are a pro, amateur, or somewhere in between, the Siege will take your game to a higher level.

Reviews

"I just got this cue today and played about 10 games with it. All I can say is that I'm impressed! Compared to my friend's Predator Revo, the shaft is a lot smoother, providing nice smooth strokes every time you hit the cue ball. Moving from a wooden shaft to the carbon siege was one of my best decisions yet, and has allowed me to control the ball with more accuracy than ever before. Highly recommend this cue!"

-Cade K, a verified buyer on billiardsking.com

"Oh nice and thank you. I tried my girlfriends on her Viking cue and loved it, going to get rid of 2 Jacoby blacks that I have. I have a tournament coming up and am hoping to use your shaft on my Carmeli cue Thank you again"

"I wanted to give you some feedback on the new Siege. I was playing with both the Revo 12.4 and 12.9 along with more recently the defy. I use to shoot with back hand English and struggled with the Revos because of the far pivot point needed to make the shots work. I also had to adjust my shooting allot to adapt to them and finally gave up and switched to the Defy this past January. The Defy is good but not great. It still has deflection and when hitting long shots with some force the shaft wobbles way too much making it hard to pot the ball. I’ve been shooting with the Siege now for 2 weeks. The hit is solid on both soft and hard shots. I’m back to using BHE because with this shaft I find no issues with short bridges or long bridges. Right off the bat I can tell the deflection is very minimal. I can aim with side spin (I spin all my shots) inside and outside English no issues. No shaft has gone where I need it to.

This shaft goes where I need it to without having to make adjustments.

Now take it I’m not a big pro shooter but I do play about 1-2 hours a day and my skill level is a 6 in APA.  I’ve had better cue ball control mostly to find the shaft has very good energy transfer. I can hit very soft making me more accurate and getting plenty of cue ball movement.

Basically it lets the spin do the work. One other thing is I don’t need to wear a glove with how smooth the shaft is. I haven’t cleaned it and no sticky residue. The other shafts you definitely need a glove. I’ll be selling my other shafts and getting a second Siege for sure. Thanks for a great product!

P.S. Day 2 using the shaft I ran 2 9 ball racks plus 2 balls into the 3rd rack before missing. The shots I struggled with and had to make adjustments for previously were dropping clean"

"The 12.5mm shaft hits wonderfully. Ill have mine soon so I can make the switch. These shafts have the most feedback of any carbon fiber that i have used. Lots of time to practice with the Covid shutdown."

-Steven W

"Even though I finished 2nd place in this tournament I must say that the new Viking Siege shaft is truly Awesome!"

-Terry E

"What a shaft. Perfection in each shot. Wicked smooth. Energy transfer is top notch. I no longer force the cue for position. Where I stoke is how it rolls. This is my first carbon, I've used other players, but this feels incredible."
