I find rolling cues a waste of time if you are rolling it on the bed of a table. By using the method I mentioned previously, the benefits, with all do respect, far outweigh trying to see a minor warp by "sighting down" a cue.
The sighting method has proven to be very effective for those with a trained eye, but most cannot tell if a cue is warped by simply sighting down it. For most, that's just about as effective as selecting a new car based on how the tires feel when kicked.
Although I agree with spinning it on a lathe, if one is available to you, even using that method has variables that come into place if not done by a conscientious operator.

Trained eye?
OK I know you guys just LOVE to roll cues, but you are kidding yourself
if you think it tells you if a cue is warped. I don.t care if it is on the bed,
the rail, the lights, or the wall. there are several things
that will make a cue wobble, or at least seem to, regardless of
where it is rolled, some are true problems, some are not.
Being warped is only one of them
BTW _ where, exactly, are all these people who can't see a warp by sighting down a cue?
I'll give a reward of a free cue to the first one you can find.
