ADR....

how do YOU straighten them?

just bend them back, or ?? treat them then bend back, or ??

heat (don't burn it ) the warp area, then bend it back slowly. hope this helps

ok its not exactly how i would do it but you could try this method at home. however i will not be held responsible if you bu66er your cue and any action you take is your own choice!!

wrap a towel tightly around the cue and pour a kettle of boiling water over it, remove the towel, flex the cue back to straight and hold it as it cools - for a smaller bend try rubbing a soft cloth hard over the area requiring straightening and you will find as the wood heats up with the friction it will be possible to straighten it (tip - wear gloves!)

Sorry is it you mean boiling water, how many degrees c? i afraid to do it myself my old cue are quite long, i think its ard 58.2'' maybe highest chances to get warp again

warped cue

hi i have straighted many cues by steaming in a jig, but they more often than not go back,one easy way is invest in a solid case and put your cue in and place chalk at the bend and then use more chalk to bend the other way, store it like this.over a long period you may get lucky!
