Can a stick be wrapped?

[dquarasr]

Sorry for the naive question but I just bought a used Huebler cue. It has a glossy grip area and after playing a while it gets sticky, uncomfortable. My Adams has a fabric grip and I prefer its feel but the Huebler hits better. Can a cue stick be wrapped? Pros and cons? Best places to have this done? $$$$??

The simple answer is yes.
But more details would be nice.
Pictures also would be nice.
The wrap area as is now,
Is it wood or is it wrapped and finished over?
Is there a local Cue maker?
That would be a good place to start.

Thanks for your response. Don't know if you can tell from this photo, but it appears to have a wrap but the wrap seems to have a coating.

You should be able to unwrap and replace the wrap. Caution on the ends so that it HOPEFULLY doesn't pull the finish on the forearm and butt bottom.

Ok thanks I’ll look into that.
