Cue collectors, players, and cue makers; what are your preferences regarding the location of the wrap on your cues?

• As a collector I find wraps closer to the butt much more aesthetically pleasing, so much that I don't purchase cues made from Manzino, Carmeli, Lomax, etc., although I am a HUGE fan of their work.
• Cue makers; are there cue building considerations for the location of the wrap?
  • Does a wrap like the attached photo where it's close to the butt cap pose any particular challenges?
  • Are butt-sleeves still a thing?
• Players; Does the location of the wrap impact your mindset (disrupt flow-state)?
  • Examples:
    • When reaching for a difficult cueball position?
    • When elevating for a drawshot near the rail?
    • When breaking?
• Finally; Which side of the two extreme wrap locations does you preference lie?

Been that way for at least five years now, if not longer. It is the same comments every time. It is a regional tour championship with a couple of pros added in. There is always the question of if many can even get in given how far in advance the event supposedly fills up. Then you got the number of pros who say they don't like how the tournament is run nor the rule set. Then you will get the same comments on here from the same guys in response who will go how the great Zug is old school and can do WTF he wants. And back and forth, and on and on.

Not much of a choice i agree. At least its free and the commentary can range from pretty good to WTF. Never know what topic is on for today. A few yrs ago they spent half a match talking about boat trialer tires.

A dinner at Delmonico's these days can easily hit 500bux/person. If you go for Wagyu beef even crazier. I'd pay 50bux just for directions to leave NYC.
