Where do you live and how long have they been sitting in the case? Soft case or hard case?
Can a case cause a shaft to warp?

I live in Kuwait, they sit in the case for a very long time because I quit playing for long periods depending on life stuff, example sometimes I quit for two years intervals with months of coming back to the game, then quit again another 1 or 2 years... etc

I had to read this one twice to understand. Thats some funny $hit right there!!!!!:rotflmao1::rotflmao1:
If a cue and case is left in a car during a hot summer....
..get used to buying more cues and cases...
There's your answer.
Get a humidifier and store your case in the closet with the humidifier.
Keep humidity at 40%-50%.
warping and cold steel
.008" warp is easily visible to the naked eye. Especially if it is in the middle of something and the end is another fifteen inches away. Roll that cue!
The truth is we expect truly ridiculous tolerances in our pool cues. Supporting it at the buttcap and joint and watching or measuring the tip movement for example and expecting zero runout.
With all of the exotic woods used in butts I suspect the standard listings for wood expansion aren't too accurate. Doesn't really matter.
Steel is still considered cold at 600f when you are working it, I wouldn't advise putting cold steel in a case or trying to handle it with bare hands.
None of the above really matters. What may matter is that the tops of some of my shafts jam tight in my tube style case. Could certainly put pressure on the shaft, a lot of pressure. I presume the tip never touches. My main playing shaft warps a gnat's ass in the summer, straigtens every winter. Doesn't affect play in any way. "gnat's ass" is a scientific unit of measure put if you don't already know what it is, chances are your pay grade doesn't justify knowing.

Um Chuck,
The discussion was about shafts, not cues. Last I checked they were indeed comprised of mostly wood.

I think it is your case. It seems that it has bent your fender too
Just kidding, its not unusual for a shaft to warp in the heat. Some folks get away with it but I have seen a lot of wood warped by heat.
