I have about 15 cues that were put in storage in cases over 20 years ago. Some are straight, some are not and the biggest problem on the butts is you can feel a ridge on the buttcap where the wood has moved/shrunk?. Some of the cues have a wobble that you can’t see rolling them, but is visible spinning them on a lathe, anywhere from 10/1,000th to 30/1,000th when we checked with a dial indicator. Most of the wobble was at the bottom of the forearm on the butts and about 10” up from the joint on the shafts.
What is a minimum tolerance level you would consider a cue and a shaft to have to be playable, and and what point would you say give up on it. I do intend to sell these and while the problem may not show up rolling them, now that I am aware of it, I will cut the price accordingly and mention it up front.
