I played with a Ginacue for 2 years that had a cork wrap since new. I loved it. It had its own sensation just like leather differs from linen which differs from wrapless. I recommend cork. Regularly.I’m considering trying cork for my wrap.
Can anyone give insight on how smooth it is? I have been currently playing with a very smooth highly pressed linen which I dearly love. ?? Ed K.
so few makers know the in's and out's of cork wraps, one of the best maker conversations I have had was Fred telling the story of his dad learning how to do cork from Harvey Martin.I played with a Ginacue for 2 years that had a cork wrap since new.

if you have a leather wrap jig it goes on same way. watched a mech. install one of Martin's cork wraps and he did it same way as leather.so few makers know the in's and out's of cork wraps, one of the best maker conversations I have had was Fred telling the story of his dad learning how to do cork from Harvey Martin.
Almost a lost art at this point.
KStick with what you have. You'll never get that feeling back.

We have similar hand conditions. I have a cork wrap on an ‘86 Joss…..don’t have to change it yet….Mike Webb installed it.I've had it on a few cues and love it. Yeah, it gets dirty if your hands sweat much but mine don't so i like it. Need to at least hit balls with a cork wrap, very unique feel that some really like. The rubberized cork that Superior sells is very good. http://www.superiorcues.com/Leather.html
I also have a corked Ginacue and I love the feel of it. I wonder if there are many Ginas that are cork wrapped. what I have might have been yours at one time. Anyway I think it deadens the ping of the steel joint with less vibration thru your palms which I love.I played with a Ginacue for 2 years that had a cork wrap since new. I loved it.
