Question:
Can my cue be straightened?


Description:
1.) When you roll my cue on the table fully assembled with the shaft securely tightened it rolls perfectly straight until you get to the butt sleeve. You can lay a credit card down on the pool table and roll the butt sleeve 360 degrees over the credit card. For about 180 degrees the butt sleeve does not touch the CC. During the other 180 degrees the butt sleeve touches the CC.

2.) When you disassemble the cue and roll the butt and shaft separately; the shaft rolls near perfectly and the butt lifts off the table the same way described above, however, the joint end of the butt also lifts off the table. When you hold the joint end of the butt gently down to the table while rolling it, the wobble on the joint end disappears and the amount of wobble on the butt sleeve increases.

I don't think your cue can be straightened. Sounds to me that the handle area might be warped. If that's where your problem is, that can be fixed. I'd holler at the cuemaker, he might warranty the cue or perhaps give a discount on the repair. Good Luck

How does the cue play? If you like the play of the cue and are not just planning on selling it I wouldn't worry about it. At that point in the cue it will have no effect on your game.

Sounds like you got a warp handle.
