Mike Janis and Barry Hart

Barry Hart, vice president of Viking Cue Mfg., Inc., stated, “Viking Cue has always supported tournaments and players throughout the country with sponsorships and is proud to be associated with Mike Janis and the Viking 9-Ball tour. Viking believes industry sponsorships and investing in the promotion of our sport through tournaments is good for the future of pool. 

Mike Janis, the founder of the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour, added, “Having Viking Cues as our title sponsor for the past 10 years has been a blessing to our sport.  Vikings sponsorship has allowed us to distribute millions of dollars in prize money to the players over the years along with relieving most the associated costs to room owners that host the tour events.  I am really excited about the next 10 years with Viking Cue as our title sponsor.  Together we will be able to continue to provide excellent events for the players and help billiard room owners with the costs of hosting tour events.”
