Viking Silver Diamond by Ariel Carmeli Playing Cue

The Silver Diamond brings Ariel Carmeli’s unmistakable design style together with Viking’s American cue-building heritage. Created through a collaboration between Viking and renowned custom cue maker Ariel Carmeli, each cue in the Diamond Series is manufactured according to Carmeli’s exact specifications. The result is a premium playing cue that combines elegant styling, meticulous craftsmanship and high-performance construction. A West African ebony forearm and butt sleeve create a rich foundation for tri-color real maple veneer points. The cue is accented with 36 ivory-colored IMA inlays and detailed silver, black and coordinating index rings. A black and silver double-pressed Irish linen wrap completes its refined, timeless appearance. Beneath the design is a full laminated maple core engineered for strength, stability and consistent performance. Viking’s modified 3/8" × 10 stainless-steel joint pin provides a solid connection and dependable feedback with every shot. ViKORE Low-Deflection Shaft The included Viking ViKORE shaft is crafted from premium Hard Rock Maple and engineered to reduce cue-ball deflection while preserving the familiar feel and feedback of a traditional wood shaft. Each ViKORE shaft undergoes nine to eleven precision turnings over 18–24 months to improve stability and consistency. Its 12"–14" pro taper provides a smooth, comfortable stroke, while the capped and threaded Viking SUPER Ferrule and Tiger Everest Medium tip deliver a responsive, controlled hit. The ViKORE is an excellent choice for players who want improved cue-ball accuracy and control without giving up the natural feel of maple.
