Like a bag of sand.
For pure feel, which wrap is best between Wild Stallion, Bison, Spanish Bull or Shrunken Goat?

Walking into a bar room to play...I hate carrying a case...it is just annoying............ and even more hate banging my cue on something which (always) happens in bar room settings........Channeling my inner Forrest Whittaker.....I broke out the little known very rare ASLYS cue.....aka......Andy Scott Lumber Yard Special and made a 3D printed wrap for it......It has a rubber like feel....Not only does it protect the cue from bangs against that chair leg 5 inches away from the table.....rain....and STDs.......It still leaves a lasting impression on the biker that does not want to pay up from getting hustled by a guy with a bright red cue............
Believe it or not.....it actually feels pretty good.......who knew......I was shocked.

If a player doesn't have a 'Slip Stroke', any good quality 'Rubber Grip'!

I only like Irish linen or no wrap at all. The Irish linen I buff with butcher's wax to give it a tacky feel. I've had numerous leather wraps over the years and I really hated them all.
If had a few goats in my day they’re not all that.

I like the look of the leather elephant ear wrap on my stick, that's probably the main reason I put it on there. Also, I like the feel of it as well, it gives me plenty of grip or slide depending on what I am looking for. I wonder if the op uses the real animal leather or simulated, not sure what he is alluding to. Just for the fun of it, I attached a photo of my particular wrap, simulated elephant ear.

You can still feel the elephants deep and profound death spams as as the villagers jammed the spears into its heart every time you grab my cue.Dang, I installed simulated elephant ear leather wrap on a Pechauer I have, and have been wondering if I could shoot better if I actually had real elephant ear on the cue? I knew something was holding me back!
When you grab simulated EE you just feel the bolt gun being fired into the dulled brainpan of an overweight heifer.
My cue inspires you to play your best so you too can avoid that fate.
ONLY inspiration that comes from Simulated is an overwhelming desire to order a salad....

I read about road players in the 50's applying bees wax to the fresh linen wraps and using a hotel iron to melt the wax into the linen.
I've started doing this with pure beeswax block and a hair dryer and it seriously makes the linen better. Even after the "tack" of the wax has faded the linen just feels better, less slick, and more grip.
I highly recommend this approach.
Would renaissance wax work or is that a bad idea?
embossed ee feels pretty fkn nice must say
Havent held a real one

Post a pic to see the texture please
Not wax, that's a wood restoration/polish product.
You're mean. Take that back!
I just had a piece of wax paper in my case.....still do actually....works on both linen wraps and leather wraps......in the late 80s I used this..........On my other stick......(lived in CA)
then consider the poor irish people they make linen out of
It helps if you rub his belly while you're down there.
