Friday, June 12th, 2009

Viking Pool Cues is one the oldest manufactures of two piece pool cues in the United States. They are only created in the United States. In the 1960s Gordon Hart started Viking Pool Cues in Stoughton, Wisconsin. In 1965 many of the top players had chosen to play with Viking cues and the business began to grow incredibly fast. Mr. Hart moved the company to Madison, Wisconsin where he sold his pool cues all over the world. In the 1980s his children, Robin, Barry, and Darcy started working in the family business as well. Not long there after the film “The Color of Money” came out and the industry was booming once again. Since then Viking has been known in the industry for their superior quality. They pride themselves on being number one in the industry. With 43 years of experience they have hundreds of individual designs and they are constantly gaining more. Viking Pool Cues has been an industry leader since the 1970s.
