stacked leather is my first choice of wraps
Mine too, so I didn't vote.
Personally, I would not cover up that beautiful wood with a wrap at all.

I have a Titlist themed ebony full splice wrap-less Hoppe cue that I'm having a leather wrap put on tomorrow. I have tried for a year to play with it being wrap-less and I still don't like it. I am however going to have the wrap moved back so that all the veneers show.
Oddly enough on my cue (which is 59") I have my hand mostly off the wrap and on the butt sleeve. My next cue which I'm waiting for is going to be wrapless since I do not benefit from or need a wrap. Not attempting to hijack your thread so IMO I would leave it wrapless the wood is great looking...
I liked the look of the eliphant ear wrap , but after I got on , it made the cue feel fat . really did not like it . GL JIm
Are you just putting a wrap over the handle or are they going to cut the channel for it?
Leave it with no wrap.
It may not help a cue perform but it sure can help a player perform.....which is of course the more critical component in the equation.
Agreed, and I didn't vote either, for the same reasons. It'd be a shame to cut into that cue (i.e. for the wrap channel), destroy that beautiful wood, just so the "cue can have a wrap, and afterall, pool cues 'by definition are supposed to have wraps'." (Don't laugh -- I've actually heard people say this.)
If the OP "needs" to have a wrap on his cue, a better idea might be to flip this cue as-is (I know if I had the money, I'd certainly make him an offer on it), and use that money to purchase a cue to his liking.
-Sean <-- prefers wrapless cues, but likes stack leather wraps on those cues that were already cut for a wrap
Thanks for the replies everyone, I love wrapless cues as well but, i sometime play in very humid conditions and it becomes very difficult for me to play.
This cue is surely a keeper and i also dont want to ruin its beauty thats why i am trying to upgrade to a exceed with a wrap, but they are very hard to find.

Without knowing you, your grip, your motivation/if any. What part of the country do you live in, and do you travel allot and match up and such. Do your hands sweat allot, are they always dry from work? What's your grip look like? Life never has real simple answers.
I live in Thailand, i am not asking for suggestions whether or not i should have a wrap, rather what wrap would be better, i am inclined between elephant ear and cortland linen. Thanks:thumbup:
I have a Southwest that I've had for 15 years. It needed a replacement wrap. I considered sending it back to Laurie, but kept hearing about elephant ear.
So I went to Mike Gulyassy and talked to him about it. He showed me some samples of elephant ear stock and he had a color that matched my cocobolo cue beautifully. With that, I went with the elephant ear wrap and I am delighted with it. Mike did a precise job of fitting the wrap to the channel and formed it to the cue with nary a trace of a seam. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend elephant ear and if you are looking for a cuemaker to do a great job with the wrap, you will certainly be happy with Mike's work--it's flawless.
