How come people don't use cue sleeves instead of gloves

I'm in the glove camp, but I get the logic of the question. I tried a sleeve a while back, borrowed one at league, and like boogieman said, it was too tight on my shaft and bunched up when I tried a longer bridge. A glove just stays out of the way for me, especially on humid nights here in Hamilton when my bridge hand starts sticking. I can see a sleeve working if you mostly play with a short, closed bridge and don't move your hand much, but for me the glove is simpler: it covers exactly where the shaft slides and nothing else. I'll stick with that unless someone makes a sleeve that actually stays put.

Misaligned pin?

The pin or the butt facing is the most likely problem. Facing is quick, the pin would need to be replaced if it is the problem. A quick trip to a competent cue mechanic will tell you in a matter of minutes. The pin could be seen to move up and down when rolling the cue butt if it is the problem and the wobble is sever.
