Hey
Joined to gain a few tips here An there

Playing snooker years but recently started back, got a new cue recently An has a slight bend An googled how to fix

Welcome to the forum
Bring a pot of water to the boil and as it simmers hold the shaft of the cue in the steam from the water for a short time then straighten the bend out and hold the position until the cue cools and sets.
This method has always worked well for me but there are a lot of guys more knowledgeable than me on this forum and so you will probably end up with a few options to choose from.

Also you may need to refinish the shaft after. Linseed oil is very good

I honestly don't mind how the cue looks, but as long as it's straight-ish I'll be happy

My old 1 piece cue was dropped An was making a ting sound when a ball was struck
Thought the lead was broken inside but today I removed the tip An refitted after a sand as the furrel looked uneven

Welcome to TSF . What cue did you buy ?

Me being in n.ireland we don't have many cue specialists as there mainly England

But I bought my 1st 1 piece cue on eBay An beat cue I played with, no name stamp or anything

New cue I bought with a slight bend is stamped michaels traditional cue hand made
