letting friends use your cue

hey guys, so this comes up every so often for me. i'm shooting pool w/ friends who don't normally shoot often. i bring my case which contains 3 cues. my friends want to see what custom cues look like. now, when it comes time to play, i don't want to make things weird and put 2 of em away and only use my personal player, so i offer them to use them and give them a cautionary note to be careful. lo and behold what happens, BANG, mishit due to not chalking appropriately, knocking the shaft on the rails, and the list goes on and on. i try to be a low key guy and not be too possessive, at least outright, but deep inside i can't help but shake my head at them and myself for letting this happen. after the session, a quick survey of the cues reveals a few new small dents on the shafts and one big on on the butt cap. good thing they weren't $$ cues, but still. just wondering if others have had their own experiences and if they have learned anything from it.

I let team mates use my breaker,
I'll let customers shoot a few with my player to see if they may like to make comparrisons

I try to get everyone to use my jumper!
So I can sell them one
