It's pretty easy, really.
You want to put a wrap on the cue that will be more accepted than not. Certainly not everyone likes the black with white speck, but there are certainly more that do than don't.
Don't get me wrong, it can always be changed to whatever the customer wants. But, they will change far fewer from that wrap than any other linen colors.

Sorry, but you are the odd ball here. In the universe of cue wraps,
black with white spot linen is prefered more than all other options COMBINED,
including non-wrapped.
But you are perfectly welcome to buy all the cues you care to that
lack a black/white wrap.

I used a Sharpie and colored all the white specs. Than I found out that they actually made black linen.
Darn it anyway.

Some people like wraps. It is one of the best color choices in Irish linen that I know of. Just because you think it looks cheap because it has been used alot does not mean everyone feels that way.
What color of Irish linen do you suggest we use for those people that like the feel of Irish linen?

Thank you
I just notice any cue that I have sold, sold quickly due to having a wrap
that matched the cue, while the ones with black/white spec wraps took
a lot of time to go away, and generally at a greaty reduced price.
When I look at buying a cue, I look beyond the wrap to envision how much
the value of the cue would increase if that black/white wrap were removed.
Obviously my offer on a black/white spec wrapped cue is always lower
than what would be offered if the wrap matched the cue.
My I-trader (and i've been here well before the insertion of I-trader) would
indicate that I am doing something correcly.
Still, your alleged experience is atypical of the rest of the world.
How many cues?
How many black/white?
What else affected the cue.
Ask anyone who does wraps what their experience has been - then you
should understand.

over 100.
After the 3d black/white wrap one I quit listing them
until I changed out the wrap.
Nothing else affected the cue other than they sell quicker
when the black/white spec wrap is changed out

1. I never said I did not like wraps.
2. Colors that match the wood/veneers of the cue. I have nothing against the
black/white wrap when it matches the cue. When it doesn't it makes the cue
look cheap.
Bobby Hunter is building a gaboon ebony plain jane players cue for me right now with ivory joint,
ivory rambow ring, and his silver rings at the joint that will get a white with single
spec black wrap because it goes with the cue.
Even on that cue, the white with single spec black will look much better than
the black with single spec white.
to wrap or not tp wrap
in cues we all have different opinions, that is what there are so many different designs out there for sale,
i like wrapless cues, i just feels more natural to me. once i heard the only thing a wrap does is hide an ugly piece of wood.

I have four cues that have black/white spec linen. It looks newer longer than any other wrap and black goes with everything.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Wraps on the other hand offer functionality with many choices for feel.
Do what makes you feel happy and dam the torpedoes.

so, your "vast" experience is based on 3 transactions

Never said vast experience...Simply stated my experience. What I do know is there
is a "vast" amount of cheap production cues using black w/white spec wrap and that
seems to devalue a custom cue using it.
And all those companies that are making all those hundreds of thousands of production cues put on black and white linen so the cues will look ...worse?
And appeal to...less people?
Hmmm.
Maybe not.

Logic: it isn't for everyone.

A custom cue with that cheap looking black with white spec wrap used on
production cues does not sell as quickly or for the money that the custom
cue would sell for with a wrap that is coordinated to the wood/veneers
of the custom cue.
Its that simple.
common sense on this site seems to be uncommon.
