Some years ago I took a selection of cues to a Newcastle maker called Tony Hines. One of them had quite a significant bend in it and I asked if it could be fixed. He put his foot against it and bent it back at such an alarming angle I fully expected it to snap. It didn't. The operation took about five seconds and he handed the cue back to me perfectly straight saying: "Don't try that yourself." I never have.

ive seen that done with "pub cues" normally used for breaking off at pool, and know it works, but its quite dangerous.
in both cases the bend is more likely to "come back" than not, IMHO
