installing a wrap. can it be done? is it worth it?

[mindtriplx]

i have a couple plain cues. none have a wrap on them but i like the feeling of a wrap. how much would it be roughly to put a wrap on one? would adding the extra weight mess with the feel of the cue? is there a way to get the wrap flush with the wood? should i just go buy a new cue?
thanks

It mainly depends on the price of the cue. If the cues are under $150, it may not be worth the additional cost to add a wrap.

I charge on average $40 to re-wrap a cue, or $60 to turn down the area for the wrap and to wrap the cue.

Getting the wrap flush with the forearm and the butt is not really hard at all.

Good Luck

don't worry about the weight

Manwon gave a good answer about wrapping the cue.

as far as 'adding weight' goes,
you will really be _replacing_ the wood<that is cut away>
with linen cord and glue.

prolly would take the National Bureau of Standards
to detect the diff.
