I don't understand why a maker would finish over linen...

...instead of making it wrapless to begin with.?

Any thoughts?

(Of course it makes sense after-the-fact. Somebody call Bob.)
 
I have a few wrapless cues and the rest linen. I like the look of a linen wrap
but not the rough texture. Finishing over them gives the best of both.
 
It always seemed cheap to me....
But it will keep your wrap looking nice for a really long time!

The only real reason I would want a wrap is for the FEEL of it, not the looks. (Possibly excepting some crazy wrap design)
If I'm going to have a finish in the handle area, I'd much rather see a nice wood or other material there, than a wrap.
 
It's easy to understand. IMO. Looks of a classic with feel of a wrap wrapless. Not a fan but I understand. I don't think it's as much the dirt factor bc even black is covered
 
I've seen some plain white wrapped cues that are coated. If done with the right combo, it is nice lookin. The whole thing about it is, it's just something creative and different.
 
> I was told once by a Meucci employee that Bob's philosophy on it works like this. In Bob's mind,why use 3 bucks worth of linen,and re-wrap a cue for 40 bucks,when we can use the same amount of linen and put it on a new cue and sell it for at least 150? Tommy D.
