I picked up this old Dufferin green leaf about a month ago online, and was sad when it wasnt straight because I love the maple butt.
Luckily, considering the oddity of the aluminum pin-in-shaft design on a 30+ year old cue, I was able to get a replacement from Canada where Dufferin is the largest cuemaker.
After two weeks of waiting to see if I was right, and the issue was in the old shaft/pin, it looks like the butt is as straight as the new shaft!
Cant wait to give it a test drive. Oddly enough the new shaft is about a half an inch or more longer than the old shaft, which is a bonus
