One method - fasten the shaft to a straight pole. It should follow a new shape now.(the pole). Apply moisture and hair dryer as often as possible. In a weeks time, depending on the humidity of the country your in, it should keep the cuestick straight.
You can also add a SMALL amount of vinegar to the water to help the wood become flexible (until dried). Vinegar can discolor the cue though, and you may have to remove some of the finish to get the moisture into the wood of the shaft.
Second method - Hang the cue - hangers can be purchased or made using string and rubber bands - a hanging cue will be straighter than one against a pole because the shaft has a taper (cue shafts do not have a straight side). Use the moisture as described above.

To straighten the shaft of a billiard cue, you can use a cue straightening tool that applies pressure to correct any bends or warps. Another method is to gently heat the cue with a heat source and then manually straighten it using pressure. It's essential to be careful and avoid applying too much pressure to prevent damage to the cue.

What is a jump break billiards cue?
A jump break cue is a cue that billiard players use to break with and also the same cue breaks down into a jump cue. Traditionally, a break cue is a heavier cue that has a stiff shaft to transfer power from the player to the cue and ultimately to the racked balls on the other side of the table. There is a notion that a thinner shaft will give a "whip" action. this "whip action ismilliseconds after the hit on the cue ball, the shaft is temporally deformed and in another couple milliseconds, the shaft violently returns back to its original straight form. The violent return to its original form is the whip action.The jump portion of the cue is the shaft and the front prong (front 12" of cue behind the shaft and before the handle of the cue) of the cue that separates from the rest of the cue.Legal jumps in billiards are strikes on the upper half of the cue ball. The action of the cue ball is pressed down onto the table and as a reaction, the cue ball squirts in an upward motion leaving the table surface.Jump cues need to be light in weight as to make contact with the cue ball and be off of the it so the milliseconds it takes for the cue ball to respond, it won't be restricted by a jump cue that is still in the way of the cue ball's jump.
