Irish linen wrap color choice

[will14.1]

I'm going to have my Schon SR 4 BEM forearm w/ 4 ebony points w/ veneers (green, black, natural, black) rewrapped and was thinking about going with white w/ green spec or white w/ black spec. I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this? Also do the lighter wraps get dirty really fast? My hands don't sweat much.
Thanks in advance.

I like the green spec idea, I think that would be pretty cool looking.

Totally a taste thing, but I like the way it looks in the pic...black with white specks. Contrasts nicely with the BEM forearm. Now, if a forearm is of dark wood, then I think a light wrap would look nice.

Hey Will, here are a few pics of my Mottey with a white/green speck
linen wrap. My veneers are a bit different, but you should get a decent
idea of what the cue would look like. Its an older wrap and darkened a
bit. A new linen wrap would have a brighter white I would think. I've
always liked black with white specs too. I personally like whats on there
more than white with black specs. Just my opinion.:smile:

You might try a black with green combo if you can get it. My Dishaw is black with a blue spec that is close to the blue in the points. Doesn't stand out real well, but close up it looks good.

Solid black for me with all the pretty BEM.

There are lots of different color combinations that would look nice. That's why there are so many color combinations. White with a light green specked wrapped always looks good on the more traditional built cues with maple prongs, ebony points, veneers and ebony or birds eye butt collar. Any white with specked wrap shows dirt much more than a colored and white speck wrap however. I put on a white/green wrap on almost all of the half/splice traditional cues that I build.

William, white with green. It's the sexiest there is. Your ball pocketing will improve by at least 10% simply by choosing the traditional choice.

Justin,
Are you being serious? I mean I think it looks good too, but my game will only improve 10%? That just doesn't seem high enough for such a sexy wrap.:grin:
