Production cue quality?

The only top production cues that I have for over 10 years are my two Schons and a Jacoby, all are just great as day one.
I do have a few custom cues that warped and some finish issues after sitting in their cases for over 15 years.
 
I have a Tiger i play with just over 10 yrs nothing wrong and straight as ever in my opinion one of the best cues i had.
 
I have a Schon cue that was completed in early 1985 by Bob Runde. It’s straight and nary a single issue with how
gorgeous the finish still looks today. So that cue is 40 years old and still looks amazing. I have a Palmer cue, my 1st
pool cue, from the late 60’s and the only thing I had to do was change the linen wrap that eventually frayed. The Schon
cue has Cortland Linen wrap and it’s still in great condition since it’s Cortland and is practically irreplaceable nowadays.

Which top selling production cues have the worst quality after 10 years of normal use. What was the issue?
Hard to answer... however I bought a Meucci MO4 with the pill bumper... Way after 10 year the butt has an obvious warp. But please do not judge Meucci by my experience.
If I thought the cue could be restored to original I would have it done. Would buy a new shaft also. I had the original reduced to 12mm
