Historical & Professional Endorsement Series
- Steve Mizerak: During the peak era of his endorsement, "The Miz" was heavily associated with the iconic Viking Mizerak Professional Series (often designated within the legacy catalog lines like the M or early vintage series). These cues were built to his exact preference for traditional, solid-hitting wood designs featuring birdseye maple and premium exotic hardwood combinations.
- Jeanette Lee: Endorsed multiple special runs and promotional lines, frequently utilizing high-end models from the Viking V Series and VK Series, which showcased elaborate pearl inlays and bold aesthetics matching her iconic persona. [1]
- Shawn Putnam: Competed at the highest international levels using high-performance cues selected from the specialized Viking SE (Special Edition) Series to support his powerful breaking and precise positioning. [1]
If you are tracking down a specific build from a certain era, let me know the
approximate decade or
design features (like the window style, logo typeface, or joint ring configuration), and I can help cross-reference it against the historical catalog series.
