The Viking Defender DF0600 Pool Cue, formerly known as B5861, is crafted with precision and attention to detail, making it a standout choice for any serious player. Featuring a combination of Birdseye Maple, Crosscut Zebrawood, and New Guinea Vermillion inlays set against an East Indian Rosewood forearm, this cue provides both visual appeal and high-level performance.
The DF0600 comes with the Vikore Performance shaft with a a reactive internal core in the front of the shaft plus Softouch® dampening. Viking bores out the front section of the maple shaft and fills it with a lighter core material, which lowers front‑end mass for reduced deflection and a more “springy” transfer of energy into the cue ball. The internal dampeners cut down on vibration and buzz, so you get enhanced power, a smoother feel, and better feedback on every shot.
