Question about wraps

I am looking at getting my cue re-wrapped. I am strongly considering a stack wrap. I saw a few in vegas last may and liked them. 1 that especially caught my eye was a black and burgandy wine colored wrap. Any and all opinoins and input is appreciated. I am hesitant to ship my cue unless absolutely necessary, so if anyone has any ideas on when the next major event will be in vegas (5 hour drive for me) where i could get 1 installed in person would be appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. In case anyones wondering it's not for the searing.:p

Play a bit with a wrap of the kind you're considering, installed by the guy you're considering. The feel of a stack wrap very much depends on the techniques of the installer.

I think you first need to decide what function you want the wrap to provide and then worry about the appearance. Most people are unclear on the first part.

For me, plain wood (with a finish) works much better than many of the wraps available. It can also look a lot better than most wraps -- more "canvas" for the cue maker to work with.

Tiger Products will not set up again in Vegas until May 07 for the BCA Nationals.

I can understand your hesitation with shipping, however we have had hundreds of cues shipped to us and back to the owner without issue.

Also, included in your cost of the wrap is insured shipping (up to 1k) back to you.

Another option is if you are ever in the Los Angeles area, just call us for an appt and you can have your cue done on site at Tiger while you wait.

Sounds like the appearance factor is important, with the Tony the Tiger wrap it has an appearance only this product offers and very unique. If your looking for leather in general, there are many that install your basic colors but few that get it perfect, the stack wrap appears to take control of the leather installation by its design. If you want linen then the choices are endless. First tho, why are you rewrapping your cue. For something different, a change, the feel, the look, address your needs first? If you deal with Tony K./Corey its a stand up business deal.
 
At Valley Forge earlier this year, I had Ilya (Tiger products installer) put a stacked wrap on my cue. I love it. The way he burnished it makes it feel like a wrapless cue, the colors match the woods in the cue (and they have several color combos to choose from) and his installation appears to be flawless.

I am not a fan of textured leather wraps and I like linen the best, if that helps put my opinion in perspective.
