So my pool cue has been dinged up a little bit. Sending you guys a picture wondering if I need to get it fixed or if it's just something I need to live with? Or how would I fix it? I end up hitting my pool cue a lot on chairs and tables when I walking around the pool table.
Do I need to fix my pool cue?

For some reason that is desirable for electric guitars.
Judging by what your past level of care looks like, I really don't see what the point in refinishing it would be. When you figure the cost of having it refinished, and the fact that you probably wont take care of it any better after anyway, why not just buy one of those Konllen carbon fiber cues for about $280. They seem to get somewhat decent reviews for the price.
No point in fixing it if you will treat it the same way.
You're talking to a person that gets unglued when she has to spend an additional fifty cents on league night because her team is a player short and was required to play an extra game.
Those look like chew marks from someone with a huge overbite. Do you have Gary Busey mouth?
All the dents cause added deflecting

Could mean something but what I don't know
What actually happens here is when the butt wood - or shaft wood - gets a dent in it, the inner wood of the cue is compressed.
This puts uneven pressure lines along the horizontal axi inside the cue which, run the entire length of said cue. Now the tip of your cue will be delivering energy in a chaotic or “ununiform” manner. It creates hotspots in the tip if you will.
These hot spots will often cause the cue ball to squirt off to the side and the tip will make a “tink-clank” type of sound which is known to draw all eyes in a pool hall to witness the shameful endeavor taking place, which can leave the user of said cue feeling embarrassed and like they just ate a rotten piece of cheese.
So, mr and/or Mrs Lion, you will have to decide what it is to be.
I see you have read Dr. Schaupenheuers Treatise on compressive forces in real time applications. Have you ever used the Fujitsu method of measuring poroelastic materials, with a thin piece of coated film?
It was $8.

Plastic wood and a brown marker and from 20 feet away nobody will notice.
Mmm mnnyes mnnyes... I was using Fujitsu before I even knew I was using Fujitsu. I was unaware that there were any others of the truly initiated on this forum.
