Viking - Siege Carbon Break Shaft — Radial

A NEW Spin on Carbon Fiber Shafts Until now, the billiard industry has relied on a carbon fiber shaft construction process of wrapping thin sheets of resin pre-impregnated carbon fiber around a steel form and overlapping the individual sheets as the diameter and taper of the shaft varies. This process of overlapping the sheets leaves undesired variations in wall thickness and stiffness and introduces radial inconsistencies over the length of the shaft in addition to requiring a final sanding process to create a smooth, even surface. Viking is taking a step in an entirely different direction. The carbon fiber process used to create the Viking Siege Pure Performance Shaft allows the carbon fiber and resin to be wound on the shaft structure in a single, continuous process weaving the fiber and applying resin simultaneously. Because sheet overlaps have been eliminated with this process, the end result is a more uniform structure with increased radial consistency and a smooth, sealed, un-sanded outer surface that stays cleaner and glides smoothly across your skin. SIMPLY BETTER. BETTER BALANCE AND BETTER FEEL . When it comes to feel, the engineers at Viking chose a new approach to create a balanced shaft with improved sound characteristics and significantly reduced vibration. The Viking Siege shaft utilizes a new vibration dampening system that allows us to introduce mass over the length of the shaft. This new process not only significantly reduces the vibration found in most Carbon Fiber shafts but also provides a balanced, natural feel unmatched in the industry yet still efficiently transferring wicked energy to the cue ball. The Viking Siege BREAK is available exclusively in 13mm tip size and is available in most common joint styles available in the market. Indestructible Ferrule Viking has developed a specially-formulated, high‑impact resin SUPER ferrule that is not just reactive, but simply indestructible. All-In Performance From tip to joint, all components within the Siege are designed to function as one. Whether you are a pro, amateur, or somewhere in between, the Siege will take your game to a higher level.   Specifications: Tip : TAOM 2.0 Blue Break (Standard) Ferrule : 1/4" Viking SUPER Ferrule  Shaft : Carbon Fiber  Taper : Conical Taper  Joint Size : .840"   Finish : Smooth Black Resin Joint : High Impact Black (IMA), flat faced with a brass insert Pin : Viking 5/16 x 18 Quick Release, Stainless Steel (Others available) Warranty : Limited Lifetime
