Viking VIK513 – Blue Pearl Inlay ViKORE Performance Cue

The Viking VIK513 is a smooth‑playing cue with a calm, blue‑pearl look. The forearm starts with brown‑stained Birdseye maple and six floating white pearl points, each tipped with a blue pearl triangle, so the design pops without looking busy. At the back, matching pearl, blue pearl and recon ebony rings in the sleeve tie everything together, finished off with a pearl butt plate and black Viking logo. A black‑with‑blue‑speck Irish linen wrap gives you a classic feel with a secure, breathable grip.

The cue ships with a 29" ViKORE performance shaft (see the cutaway diagram below), built for players who want more control and accuracy than a standard maple shaft without giving up the solid “Viking” feel.

Like all modern Viking cues, the VIK513 uses the Viking Precision Weight Bolt System, so you can adjust the overall cue weight by adding or removing stackable bolts inside the grip area. That lets you move up or down in weight (typically around the 18–21 oz range) without changing how the cue is built. A Viking quick‑release joint makes setup fast and secure, and the cue is finished in Viking’s 27‑step UV‑cured urethane “glass” finish for long‑term protection and shine.

Every Viking cue is 100% made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty that includes warpage, so the VIK513 is a cue you can bring to league night for years and still trust.

Note: Beginning in 2024, all Viking cue models feature a slimmer butt taper — 1.250 inches compared to the previous 1.295 inches. This new profile has quickly become the more popular choice, offering players a more comfortable grip and enhanced stroke control.

ViKORE Performance Shaft Technology

The ViKORE shaft is built around a lighter ViKORE center core set inside Michigan hard rock maple. Viking bores out the front of the shaft and replaces some of the maple with this lighter core material, reducing front‑end mass so the cue deflects the cue ball less and transfers more energy straight through the shot.

Inside the shaft are Viking Softouch® dampeners – one behind the core and another under the ferrule – which soak up excess vibration and buzz. That gives you a smoother, more solid feel, clearer feedback and better speed control, especially on power shots.

The front is finished with Viking’s indestructible SUPER ferrule and a TIGER Everest laminated cue tip, so you get a tough, long‑lasting contact point with the grip and spin of a premium layered tip.
