Cue Hangers helps straighten slightly bended cues
- Thread starter axio
- Start date
I would guess about 14 months and it should be relatively straight..lol
It does work to some cues ... we will never know because the wood is a living material, with different type of grain and density and moisture inside them...you have to hang them together with the butt thus gravity will pull the cue vertically...
when your cue is straight it will keep them straight taht is for sure...rather than stuffing them in cue cases...it is always better to hang your cues for long term stability....
but there is no certainty that it will straighten a bended cue and how long to hang them to repair a rolled cue...it is all depending on the wood and your luck...Just My 2 cents
A Wise saying is prevention is better than cure...
haha if the butt is not straight that means, you have bought a poor cue product...
Thanks axio. I'm more looking to straighten out a slightly tapered shaft, the butt end of the cue is in perfect condition, I was just wondering if it would straighten out a slightly tapered shaft, NOT warped shaft, just slightly tapered. Thanks again for the info.
if you are pretty sure that the shaft is just slightly tapered I think that is possible...but then when the shaft it self have sanding problems then i am not sure of it...
Do you have proof that this indeed works? Predator used a robot w/ mounds of scientific data to back up their shafts when pushing a new tech product. Do you have trial proof? Do you have any concrete studies to prove the theories of your product? I'm not just busting your balls!!!!!!
Give me proof and I'm all in! Sounds right in theory, but that's not enough for my money!!!!
I await your answers. Thanks

of course I am talking about custom handmade cues...not the mass production cues...they use all the high tech machinaries...those high tech machine are so smart...they could make a warped half made cues straight again..amazing isnt it...but the most of the weight bolt are slanted...I have lots of proof on the one..
Dude...its just cost $2. 50 cents...this is not a technology at all...it is just nature...

These hangers have another useful function. Attach one to a Q Claw, Cue-it-up or other holder and use it to hold your jump cue. Keeps the jump stick handy and readily accessible when needed.
Over here in China all the club cues are hung up this way and they seem to stay pretty straight. These are all cues that sell for the $80-$200 range in the USA. Conversely all the "house" cues which are also two piece cues are kept in racks and they seem warp a lot.
I would tend to think that you could take a cue from all the cue makers who hang their shafts. How quickly it works if it works is unknown to me. I suppose you could accelerate the process by steaming the shaft.

It's Only $2.50....and what's your point...
A simple piece of plastic....hmn...with machine production....costs maybe $.59 - $.89 so @ $2.50 not a bad return.....the question the other forum member presented was does this thing work & what proof....or is it a gimmick.
Seems like a fair question but mocking the price as an insignificant consideration is almost like the way Ponzi schemes are sold. If this thing works, I'd think you'd want to patent it, promote it, boast about it with documented results instead of saying "What'ya got to lose...it's only $2,50 fer cryin' out loud."......the flip side is "Come on and buy the darn thing....I can make another $1,50 and if I sell 100/week....not a bad return.
Just the flip side side to your "It's only $2.50!".

Dude chill out. These things have been around for a long time. For god's sake if it works then it's easy to make your own out of any number of household items.
It IS only $2.50 and you get a dedicated molded rubber part made especially for the purpose.
For this price it IS a what do you have to lose proposition. As in IF it don't work then it's no big deal. All the guy is saying is that gravity helps to straighten cues which actually is true. So he is selling a part made especially for holding cues in the air and letting gravity do it's work. Now you can save $2.50 and go spend some time making something to hold your cue up. Office Depot sells just what you need by the bagful. OR you can just fork over 2.50 and not hassle with rigging your own.
God this post just cost me more than $2.50.
yes it is made in indonesia I think cost more than $.59 maybe if it is a mass production...and it is made from pure rubber...
haha and this little thing will take care of your cues....
funny exaggeration :thumbup:
Straightening shafts- A skill not luck
Some cue makers know how to bend the shafts back into shape- sometimes they stay straight sometimes they don't. Wood Moves- it is affected by many things. I just purchased 4 schon shafts with Minor(taper rolls).(50.each not 100.) My friend has been straightening them for 6 months on a pool table. They are the early S-R series shafts, with Micarta. I've taken them stripped them put in a cool dark place. I will have cues made for these great schon shafts- screw the ld craze.

TSh Tsh Tsh....
My oh my......you do seem to be quite defensive about a simple question over does this thing work.....me thinks thou might protest a wee bit too much over a question another forum member earmnestly asked and in good faith as well. You come off like Bernie Madorf on the witness stand answering questions and sarcasm isn't a substitute for sincerity or even candor for that matter. Someone who has an idea that works is eager to tell others and share the information because it helps the product and grows the business opportunity. Shams, shills & conmen prefer to engage in banter and ridiculing others who have doubts or trepidation about something.....and the value of the item shouldn't matter either. Now you might indeed have a great idea or product but your behavior says just the opposite....or you're brand new at customer relations and haven't an inkling what marketing is all about.

Speaking of protesting too much. The device doesn't do anything other than hold a cue in the air. Gravity does the work. Should he have to prove gravity exists?
Seriously...how could this be a scam? You guys are fussing over a product that is only $2.50...if you dont like his product dont buy it. Simply as that.
Like JB says it's gravity..these things have been around for a long time. It's just gravity..It may not make the shaft completely straight compared to a brand new shaft..but please...compare $2.50 versus buying a brand new shaft over $150..
it's trial and error....steam up the warped shaft then hang it for a while. There is no scientific process to guarantee making a warped shaft completely straight.
I spend double the price buying a soda drink at the movies.....no wonder people complain that pool players are cheap.

I would think they have a better shot at preventing warping than fixing it.
Even in a case a cue is effectively leaning against a wall in some way.
The forces are slight, but in the long term I would find it hard to argue against hanging. After all, as was said, cue makers do it.
I just can't see doing it myself. I am looking at having a display cabinet made with UV "museum" glass in it. I can't think of a place that iw ould be safe to hang them in my house. The wife/kids might get into any closet and I can picture them rattling around like a bunch of wind chimes.
If you have a place to do it that is safe and you are not concerned about displaying the cues, then I think it makes sense.
Other than that, a hard case is the only way for me.
