Is there such a thing as "sticky" leather...?

I'm only asking, 'cause if I can't move this Schon f/s or f/t, I'm gonna have the linen taken off!! It pisses me off that I have something so nice that I can't figure out.

So, anyway, I was thinking a deep reddish brown colored leather, to compliment the birdseye maple. But since my hands don't sweat, and being so used to a wrapless finish, what should I expect the leather to feel like?

I have played with--I want to say calf-skinned--Espiritu, but that sucker just slipped out of my hands; the leather was really nice and supple though. Is there something that is comparable, but a bit tacker to the touch?
 
If you want to keep the cue and make it feel wrapless then have someone put finish over your Irish linen wrap. It will feel like it has no wrap, but will still look good.
 
Another option to think about if you want it to feel wrapless, is a stacked leather wrap. They are hard and smooth like no wrap at all. The Tiger stacked wraps come in different colors to match your cue too.

I'm the exact same way. Always played with a wrapless cue and linen is just too slick for me.

When I got my Tascarella, I had Pete put on a super smooth, shiny leather wrap. It is so smooth/shiny that in the light it shines almost as much as the finish on the cue. This wrap "grabs" my grip hand in the same way as a wrapless cue does. I think it is exactly what you are looking for.
