Viking Butt, need shafts

[98falstaff]

Hi all. I just picked up a Viking butt on Ebay. It has the lightning bolts in wood design that isn't made anymore,now its really not made anymore, I know. I have been looking for factory Viking shafts online but not having much luck. Can someone direct me to some or help me find a good cuemaker to build me some? I really don't know how to go about finding a builder. Do I need to send the butt in for this? What would a good price be for these? I live in southern Oklahoma. Any help or info would be very much appreciated.

check the wanted/for sale section on this forum, or the azbilliards store.

if you want a low deflection shaft i think its a Viking QR Joint 5/16 X 18

There are plenty of great cuemakers in the OKC area. Jim Ingram is my favorite but some other great cuemakers in the area are Chris Jones, Sean Huckleberry and Chad McClennan. If you need their contact info PM me.

I bought a similar one from a different vendor. I paid 25 bucks plus shipping so ......

Of course there is a downside ... oooooh .... it's not one of them magic shafts that don't deflect (ahem...)

The best I could get out of this shaft was a run of 78 in 14.1. I know if I spent the extra 200, I'd run a thousand. At least...

An Oklahoma cue maker you may want to check out. I know he supports live streaming by advertising.
