The Viper Story

Viper cues come from GLD Products, a company five friends started in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1981. GLD built its early reputation manufacturing darts before expanding into billiard equipment and launching the Viper cue line.

The goal behind Viper was straightforward: put a well-made cue within reach of the average player. Canadian maple shafts, leather tips and stainless steel joints became the foundation across the catalog of series.

Today the Viper name covers everything from the colorful Sinister line aimed at beginners to the Desperado and Elite series built for league play, alongside novelty designs like Revolution and family-friendly Junior cues.
