Anybody use a cork wrap??? IMHO they are the nuts. The rubberized cork available today makes a super wrap. Not too slick, not too 'grippy, just right. I'm currently using spanish-bull on my Mezz but am seriously thinking of going to cork. Had it on a McD back in the 80's and loved it. Martin at SuperiorCues has it http://www.superiorcues.com/Leather.html as does UniqueProducts https://www.uniqueinc.com/inc/sdetail/natural_cork_wrap/17413/4266
In praise of 'cork'...

I’m a wrapless guy, but I have a mint condition 1900 ish vintage Brunswick white label 1pc with cork wrap that looks, feels & plays good!
I tried one once. I really liked it.

I've always wanted to try cork and really like the way it looks.
One question. Will it slide in and out of a JB case with his padded interior, or does it get hung up? My carom cue had a rubber sleeve which had an issue with getting in and out of one..
You could buy a sleve for the butt to use to get it in and out of the case

I got an ‘86 Joss with a cork grip…I like it best under dry conditions…Tulsa would be fine for me.
……the old McDermotts were considered to have the best cork wraps.
You just need to make sure you get properly soaked cork

Anyone have the McDermott model numbers for the cues that used to come with the cork wraps?
it was an option. could get it in place of linen.
not near as grippy as rubber. shouldn't be an issue.
what a neat idea..would love to try it, see how it feels
Got mine in 1993.
I have no model number.
