Help me decide the wrap!

Genuine Cortland is the best right off the spool, but certainly there is a great deal to say about how a wrap is finished. This is true of both linen and leather.

The McDermott E-K1 that I refinished the wrap on took a bit of work and some different products, but the end result is really great. It ends up being a cross between a great linen and fine leather feel. I dig it. Looks cool and feels great. It was already trashed, so I wasn't worried about screwing it up.

The wrap on this McDermott I just got is perfect and really well finished. So I am proposing to potentially screw up a really nicely done wrap. LOL!

It's not a Bushka, so am I really worried about screwing it up? No, not really.

Heck, if I screw it up I might even try my black hemp wrap on it before considering sending it to have a real cue maker do it "right".

I don't have a lathe, but I am patient and can "wind string". LOL!

Yep, you actually don't need a lathe to wrap a cue and finish it. It takes patience and elbow grease.

Take all of the weight out of your break cue

My 3C playing cue is around 15.5oz. Maybe 16.

I get around the table just fine.

I actually didn't weigh mine after removing, will do later.
My friend has a Jacoby "Featherweight" this is around 14oz I believe. Worked well for MR 9ball when I tried it. Didn't try any other game with it. Joking about this cue being a matchstick is what made him take the weight out of mine :ROFLMAO:
