How do Viking shafts compare to “After market shafts”?
Most after market shafts consist of a pie shape design marketed to reduce cue ball deflection, shaft vibration, and increase spin. Viking shafts are made from one solid piece of hard-rock maple. Viking shafts have a pro taper (12 to 14 inches) and a proprietary ferrule and are designed to achieve similar results. Because Viking shafts are also engineered to reduce cue ball deflection and increase cue ball spin, we recommend you try the Viking shaft before spending a significant amount of money on the purchase of an after-market shaft.
