Cue Lifts at joint when rolled with shaft on

Ditto for all the above. Even if the shaft is warped and causing the problem, refacing it would take some of the problem out, provide the shaft is secure out near both ends when facing.
 
forearm could be warped. i just got a cue in with the same problem. it was unfixable. top name maker too. just goes to show you it happens. i handed it back to the guy and said sorry... no fixy

Maybd I am just a dumb cuemaker who doesn't know anything but I would really apreciae it if you could explain to me how refacing the shaft will take the error out of a warped shaft?
 
Then how is it going to take some of the error out of the warp?
As I understand it, it would take none of the warpage of the shaft out. However by refacing the shaft with the ferrule held on-center,it could reduce the lift at the joint. If the opposite were true of the shaft and the tip lifted, a refacing could also calm that senario. Could is the operative word here. I think alot depends on where the warpage occurs in the shaft. I would not call this a fix, but a band-aid. Probably for someone who wants to keep a original or long time playing shaft, or maybe for someone who can't afford to buy a new shaft right away.

It's tough enough for me to work with straight wood,
