How to make a leather wrap sticky

[9Ballr]

I have a cue that I like very much but it has a leather wrap - I definitely
prefer the feel of a wrapless cue - but since I love the play and hit of this
cue I was wondering if there was something I could put on the leather
wrap that makes it stickier.
Aren't there some leather products - conditioners or otherwise - that
might help accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for your help

Changed it. Just for you....lol.


Now on to sticky leather.......is there a way to make this happen without changing the leather it self?

Use shoe polish. It worked on mine.

My cue has an embossed leather wrap. I keep the wrap polished with Kiwi shoe wax. It makes it a little sticky, I guess. You are not going to use a slip stroke with it.

By the way I just saw these products in case there's anyone else out there who wants
the same for their leather grip.

Might be worth the try.

Use beeswax but sparingly

This might work too. And it would look neat in your case. http://www.sexwax.com/

I know of a few things people use to make saddles tackier.
Beeswax is one that might work. A glycerin(?) bar rubbed on it works too. Murphys oil soap
( in the tub ) is used by some people also.
They make some spray stuff too that's for saddles but I can't remember the name of it.
You can probably find any of this at a farm supply store or a place where they sell tack.
Might have to experiment to see what you like.

Some excellent ideas here.
I'm going to buy them all, seems like it's not a waste of money since they all
wear off with time.

Thanks for some really excellent suggestions.

Tiger products had a clear polish for shoes that they put on stack leather wraps in Vegas..I bought a can off their web site and it works great...For one piece or stack leather....

Spray some windex on a towel and wipe the leather down like you are cleaning it.

You're going to put ammonia on leather?

Or you could just leave the leather as is and place a rubber sleeve over it --- like the ones used by 3-c players.

It’s a bit tacky, I just put on 3/8” – 1/2” strip(s) of 2-sided tape, then you can spin the butt for tack on or tack off, of course if you have a sighted ferrule then you would want to adjust your tape position accordingly.

Pour pop on it.

Eat some pancakes with a spoon before you play.
