WARPAGE - FINISH: Wood will soak up moisture
in wet climates and release moisture in dry climates. To prevent warpage or
finish problems, your cue should be stored under consistent temperature and
moisture conditions.
ABUSE: Cues made of wood are not designed to
withstand lateral pressure. Situations where a cue is leaning against a
wall, dropped on the floor, bent while playing or hitting a table can damage
the cue. We recommend protecting your cue with a hard case.
SHAFT MAINTENANCE: To clean your shaft, use a
towel slightly dampened with rubbing alcohol. To avoid damaging your shaft
do not sand it, no abrasive is necessary. Use a leather burnisher or similar
material to seal the shaft after cleaning. Do not expose the shaft to
excessive moisture and do not steam it to remove dings.
FERRULE: Much of the shaft’s performance can
be attributed to our ferrule design and composition. Due to the performance
enhancing material used for the ferrule, scratches may appear with use. In
this case, we recommend sending your shaft to us or to an Authorized Repair
Center for a clean up. Do not remove or change the ferrule or the warranty
will be voided.
TIP: If tip replacement is needed, we
recommend a tip that is medium-hard, we are currently using Sarin®. For best
results, we recommend that you send it to us or have an Authorized Repair
Center do it on a lathe.
WRAP CLEANING: Use a very lightly damp towel
to wipe off your wrap and dry immediately (do not use any solvents).
Isopropyl alcohol will work to clean all Poison wraps.
