Best cue for sweaty palms?

[Tramp Steamer]

Tramp, he already said he used to have a cue with a linen wrap:grin: I agree with cork or wrapless.

I was just reiteca..., reiterma..., I was just going over what had been said earlier.

Sheesh! I can't be expected to read every post, can I? :smile:

Try putting some rubbing alcohol on your palms and then talc once they are dry.

I agree, but for which hand? If he's right handed then a glove there would certainly prevent slippage on the cue handle, but then what about the left hand. Does he just keep leaving wet spots all around the table? :smile:

I sweat alot and I went to a leather wrap and it seems to help.

Predator Sport Playing Cue

I would highly recommend you the Predator Sport Playing Cue. You can use it with wet hands and it will be more grippy. It has a dual-textured wrap so you can grip your cue the same way everytime and you can squeeze the grip like an stress ball. It's a cool cue.

Wow thanks guys for the replies!

-i've tried using wrapless but my hands sweat ALOT pretty much anytime im awake, I do wear a glove for my bridge though. Im just worried about a non-wrapped cue absorbing my sweat and warping overtime. Do u guys think this would be an issue?

- I've used house cues before but I've held other cues such as the lucasi hyrbid, predator s, and various leather and linen wrapped cues. I really like the hybrid and predator because of the different grooves in the grip. But I wanted to know other peoples thoughts/ experiences on this topic, since none of my team members or anyone I know in the league i am in has excessive sweaty palms.

-the material on some golf clubs are really good for my hands, not sure what is, does anyone know? It really absorbs the moisture, and has a nice soft cushion feel that almost sinks in like memory foam. This might be my solution.

- i have used many types of medication for the hyperhidrosis on my hands, drysol was one but the effect wouldn't last very long

- the rosin ball sounds like a good idea, but i was wondering what kind of powder is in them? I've tried using baby powder but it doesnt on my hands very long, and is quite tedious to use between shots.

Thanks for the replies guys this has helped me out alot. Been looking to get a new cue since my other one was stolen, my car was broken into.

I agree. I am just a two year newbie, but I have learned to appreciate a wrapless cue with a satin finish. My sweaty hand sticks to a hard gloss finish or leather wrap. Linen or nylon wrap is OK, but satin or roughened wrapless finish is simply a pleasure to use.
