Thomas Edison was famously quoted as saying “There
is a better way to do it. Find it.” The craftsmen at Viking
went to work to do just that. Every aspect of the qualities
that make a great playing billiards shaft were closely
evaluated, broken down and applied to the design of the
Siege Carbon Fiber Performance Shaft by Viking. The Siege
shaft represents the next technological leap forward in
billiards performance giving you, the player, the best
playing and best feeling shaft on the market today.
Legendary Viking Craftsmanship
Every Siege Carbon Fiber shaft is 100% made in the
USA. Since 1965, Viking Cues have been handcrafted by master
craftsmen, each with decades of experience.
Super Ferrule
Viking has developed a specially-formulated,
high-impact resin SUPER ferrule that is not just reactive,
but simply indestructible.
All-In-One Performance
From tip to joint, all components within the Siege are
designed to function as a singular system. Whether you are a
pro, an amateur, or somewhere in between, the Siege will
take your game to a new plateau.

THE SIEGE CARBON FIBER PERFORMANCE SHAFT BY VIKING
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.
Care of Your Siege Shaft
The first step in protecting your shaft is registering the shaft at
Vikingcue.com within the first 30 days of ownership to be eligible
for its limited lifetime warranty. Specific warranty information can
be found at vikingcue.com/warranty.
Cleaning of Your Siege Shaft
The surface of the Siege shaft has been engineered to be sealed from
the outside elements. Although it is sealed, soils may build up on
the surface of the shaft.
Day to Day maintenance can be performed with a soft, clean, debris
free cloth lightly applied to the surface of the shaft to remove any
residue followed by wiping with a soft, clean damp rag.
When a deeper clean is desired, Isopropyl alcohol wipes can be
used. If wipes are not available, substituting a soft, clean, debris
free cloth with a few drops of Isopropyl Alcohol (70%) will be
effective.
Care of Your Siege Shaft
Under no circumstances can the Siege shaft be sanded or modified.
The use of any type of abrasives, in liquid or solid form, will
damage the sealed surface of the shaft and void the warranty of the
shaft. The use of many common shaft treatments is not advised as
many contain abrasive compounds that can damage the surface of the
shaft.
The finish of the Viking Siege shaft is designed to glide through
the hand without the use of additional products. Use of baby powder,
hand chalk or talcum powder is not recommended and may cause damage
to the surface not covered under the warranty of the shaft.
The diameter of the shaft cannot be modified. Any process to
reduce the diameter of the shaft will result in damage the finish of
the shaft, weaken the carbon fiber structure and expose raw fiber
shaft, release potentially harmful particles into the air and will
void the warranty of the shaft.
Changing the Tip on Your Siege Shaft
The unique design of the Ferrule on the Viking Siege shaft makes it
an integral part of the overall structure. Care must be taken not to
remove ferrule material when replacing the tip. The removal of
excess ferrule material may compromise the structure of the shaft
and void shaft warranty.
It is recommended that the shaft be protected from contact with
solvents, glue and any abrasives used in the tip replacement process
as they may cause permanent damage to the finish of the shaft and
may void the shaft warranty.
Changing the Ferrule on Your Siege Shaft.
The Carbon Fiber construction of the Siege shaft and it's components
are subject to specific materials and extremely close tolerances. In
the event that the ferrule needs to be repaired or replaced, it must
be done so by Viking Cue Manufacturing to maintain the shaft's
warranty.
