Viking Defender Series Maple with Ebony Points and White Pearl Chess Inlays Pool Cue - DF1200

This cue is a true collector’s statement piece—where craftsmanship meets artistry. The design begins with a natural-stained Birdseye Maple forearm, elegantly adorned with five sharp Ebony points, each adorned with a White Pearl chess piece inlay representing the Bishop, Knight, Rook, Queen, and King. These striking symbols of strategy and mastery give the cue a commanding presence, paying tribute to the mental precision shared between chess and billiards.

Built for performance as much as beauty, it features a 12.75mm Viking ViKORE performance shaft paired with an Everest® laminated tip for extreme control and accuracy. The Viking SUPER Ferrule, capped and threaded for durability, ensures a crisp, consistent hit every time. A black embossed textured leather wrap delivers a confident grip, complementing the cue’s refined aesthetic.

Every cue undergoes 9 to 11 precision turnings over 18 to 24 months, ensuring unparalleled straightness and stability. The finish is protected by a triple-coat ultra-violet urethane layer, offering both brilliance and longevity. Engineered with a high-impact black (IMA) flat-faced joint with a brass insert, a Viking 5/16 x 18 Quick Release stainless steel pin, and an Ebony butt plate proudly displaying the Viking logo, this cue is built to last a lifetime—guaranteed against warpage.

From its chess-inspired artistry to its tournament-grade performance, this cue is both a symbol of intelligence and a tool of precision—crafted for players who command the table like a grandmaster.
