When the cue is rolled on the snooker table, can you confirm that this cue rolls 100% straight?
Can I have your contact e-mail please?
The cue rolling on a table and not bobbling has nothing to do with straightness, some cues have slightly different tapers along the length of the shaft and this can make the cue wobble around when rolling even if its dead straight. The only way to tell is to sight down the cue from butt to tip and slowly rotate it.
However, I just thought that to test the cue straightness by rolling on the table is a very simple way to do. To sighting the cue down , the tester must know how to perform the test and would have a good judgement to tell whether the cue is straight or slightly bend.

with the greatest respect this is drivel - a cue is not a perfect taper bent cues can roll straight and visa versa - you can ONLY test the straightness buy looking down the shaft.
It is hard to judge sometimes when sighting down the cue from the butt end, but if you do it from the tip end you may find that it's much more obvious. One of the cue makers recommended this but I forget who.
