My Shuriken Butterfly cue is kind of a turd. Not only is the pin drilled off-center, but the shaft has warped so badly the tip comes off the table around an inch when rolled...It is not longer even usable for a break cue. But for $100, what can you expect.
Thanks for participation in the challenge! Your support is highly appreciated.
Warped shaft is a big issue. There are several cues available right now so if you send it back, we'll change it for a new one. In case of manufacturing defect.
There are many reasons of warping on a shaft. It is unlikely that you've got a warped shaft from a box. Moisture level, environmental temperature changings, leaning position for storing a cue, horizontal loads or impacts on a shaft and many more. It is possible to investigate when we have the cue on hands.
In general, it is wood, it has to be kept in a warm dry place positioned vertically or in a closed case to keep the moisture level stable.
Anyway, email me please and we'll figure something out: shurikencues@gmail.com
