Sorry about the straightening glasses but I didn't realise that they are silly money to buy (Amazon). I have had a look to see if I can find out what the exhibition growers use but nobody seems to be giving away their secrets. Perhaps something home-made in plastic? There is a bit of advice on the net at: http://www.medwynsofanglesey.co.uk/articles/416/cucumbers
Hope this is of use with the straightening factor.

I have never grown cucumbers for exhibition but Robinson & Son are well respected in the country for their big vegetables and they recommend King George cucumbers. D. T. Brown's Carmen cucumber also looks a good bet. Don't forget to buy the glass straightening tubes.
