Its probably been done thousands of times.
Not a problem.

Have done 4 cues. 2 with leather 2 with linen. Worked out like it came with it. Choose a quality cue repair person.
It’s a common thing. The cue maker (or repair guy with taper equipment) just cuts the
channel for the wrap and puts it on. Not difficult at all if you have the right stuff.

Go with leather wrap. If you'll don't like it, you can change to Irish linen. Linen requires a deeper groove in cue.
I think you have that backwards.
Generally leather requires a deeper cut.
There are variations.
There are thicker non-standard linens, and there perhaps are thinner leathers.
All wrap leathers are split leathers. I believe the cuemakers look for a standard thickness, but some deeper grain leathers, like elephant for example, need to be relatively thick or there will be holes in it when it is split.
.
Probably you are right, a cuemaker will give the right solution.
I have a Joss cue with Irish linen, and I'm playing in a room with high humidity, the linen wrap is always wet, so that's why I'll advice for leather.
Easy job if the joint screw has a center hole, straight and concentric and if the handle has little or no wobble.
It's only a break cue, I really don't know if it's worth the trouble .
Most people hold their break cues past the wrap too.
Might as well just use a rubber slip on. Save the joke.:grin:
My Brother!
You don't cut a cue between centers to add a wrap on a finished cue. Do you?
You may not want linen on a break cue, it's more slippery than no wrap or rubber wrap.

I'd just leave the thing as is, it's a break cue, made for utility. You don't even touch it when you lose LOL :wink::smile:

If you go with a leather wrap, go with Spanish Bull, or EE. I would contact Martin here at AZB...aka jazznpool. His products, and service are second to none, IMO.
