The Defender DF0804 channels the classic power of sword and shield—symbols of defense and daring attacks. This cue is ideal for players who mix calm patience with fierce power, perfectly timing when to hold back and when to make their move. Every shot shows off the focus and grit of a serious competitor.

The Viking Defender DF0804 is built for players who like their cue to look as deadly as it plays. The forearm and butt sleeve are premium Birdseye maple packed with 76 smoke, red, black and white inlays laid out in a dramatic sword‑and‑shield motif, framed by white premium pearl, black (IMA) and white (IMA) index rings for a high‑end custom look. An ostrich‑embossed leather wrap by Tiger Products gives you a bold, tacky grip that stays comfortable over long sessions.

Under the hood, the DF0804 comes with Viking’s ViKORE performance shaft, made from hard rock maple aged for about five years and turned multiple times to stay straight. The ViKORE’s reactive core and Softouch® dampening are designed for low deflection, extra power and reduced vibration, so the cue feels solid and accurate without being harsh in the hand. It’s topped with a Tiger Everest laminated tip on a Viking SUPER ferrule for consistent spin and cue‑ball control.

Every cue is finished with a 12–14" pro taper, UV‑cured urethane 3‑coat finish, stainless quick‑release joint, premium pearl butt plate and threaded rubber bumper, and is 100% made in the USA with a lifetime warranty that includes warpage.
