yes it is possible - you need to be able to heat the shaft - normally with steam, if its not something you understand any cue maker will do it for you. if you let me know where you live i will see what i can do.
actually how straight a cue is is not as important as you think as long as it plays the full range of shots and reacts the same way each time.

OK I know!
I said those two because he's in London and didn't want to send it to Tony "Hines" (do they not mean Ions)!
Actually my Dads got two bent cues one player fine but the other ones a bit dodgy so I was goning to take it to Craftsman or Kev Muncaster to get it sorted out!

I had a really bad bend in a cheap cue i got off ebay and today i was board and wanted to see if i could fix it as i didnt care about the 70$ a paid for it so i heated it with steam and eat over the stove, just like i would with a hockey stick blade, and i got it almost perfect again, it took about ten mins or so and now its not 100% but its almost there.
Im going to get some oil for the cue now to treat it.
Also i made a video of it i will post on youtube later on.

Im in the proccess of uploading my home made cue stratening method, I don’t recommend doing this to a good cue, but as you can see, i did not get the cue perfect but i made it useable...it went from a big big bend to just a small warp that shouldn’t effect one shot. I also am still trying to get it a bit better i striped the finish and had used raw linseed oil and will all it to dry well and repeat.
you can check it out on my youtube page.
