By the end of this week i will purchase a viking cue, but what joint should i get?
Finaly made my decision to purchase a viking. Since viking gives the options of customizing their cues, does anyopne have a recommendation on what type of joint i should get? I dont wanna make a huge mistake a buy a crappy joint that i hate playing with. I was thinkin about gettin a joint that hits medium-soft. anyone have opinions or reccomendations on what type of joint to purchase? metallic, wood? what type of join makes the cue feel more like a one piece cue, which is ideal. thanks

Is their something called negative play in pool game?
If you want a two-piece cue to play like a solid piece of wood (as you should), you're going to want to maximum amount of wood-to-wood contact. Most production cues that I've come across claim to have a high level of wood-to-wood contact, but it's often very little. Additionally, they will have a void space above the pin, further impeding the cue's harmonics. Viking does make a fine cue, so you should feel good about your purchase.

No real prefrence as long as its a tight fit thats no big deal in any quality cue. Viking is a good choice in any cue i try to avoid the ones that look like a wood screw there metal to wood not the longest lasting setup and major fix when they wear out Happy HuntingJohnny
I would suggest the 3/8-10 pin with a phenlic joint collar. It provides a softer hit and good feedback. Most top cue makers now use a 3/8-10 or 3/8-11 joint or the radial joint for exactly that reason.
Why can't i read into readable and readable is readable?
Excellent choice bro. I love Viking cues. I have one myself. Very high quality. My cue has a metal on wood joint. I love the way it feels. All my cues as a matter of fact have metal to wood joints. I love the way they feel so would want it no other way. I would stick away from the wood on wood because it will probably wear after time in some way.How do you repair your pool cue?
you have to make that decision on your own it matters what you are most comfortable playing with you have to think about alot of different situations like wait and etcMore Questions & Answers...
