cuebuilder said:Personally, I prefer a slightly worn linen wrap. I feel that leather absorbs some of the feel of the cue. I like the feedback of the linen. I use 2 pieces of Oak to press my wraps. Press once with water and a second press using good old spray starch. I know the rollers flatten the cord better, but I like the look and fel that the Oak gives.
I like the look of wood handles and the feel of the hit, but I just don't care for the bare wood in my hand. JMHO.

I did this recently with my Gilbert Cue. It now has pressed black linen. From afar, I doubt anyone could tell the difference. But, the feel for me is the important thing.RiverCity said:For me its got to be linen. I have had leather taken off cues and rewrapped with irish linen.
