A friend of mine is wanting to buy a BK2 and is not sure whether to get a wrap on it or not. I have one with a wrap and my main player has a leather wrap. So other than a house cue from time to time, I don't use wrapless cues.
Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to hear peoples opinions about wrapped -vs- wrapless cues. Better gripping, better appearance, mosisture affecting linen, etc.

Thanks! :D
 
I voted for wrapless thats what I like . If I had to choose a wrap it would be a leather wrap . Good luck to your friend what ever he chooses .

Have a nice day :smile:

I like wrapless-less upkeep-just wipe down at the end of playing, and maybe once a month a little shot of pledge
 
Get a bk2 sport edition it doesn't slip and ya know where to grip it everytime ya break. you won't be disappointed
 
I like a tacky wrap on a break cue. Something I can get a grip on and some of the new break cues on the market have rubber type wraps. I'm thinking about trying one to see if it will help my break.

I prefer wrapless. However on some cues I have no choice due to the build.
Anything but linen at that point.
 
Definitely wrapless. I have always played with wrapless cues. There is no question that I can grip a wrapless cue better. The friction between the finish on the BK2 (or really any wraples cue) seems significatly better than any wrap I have tried. On a playing cue this might not be as big of a deal, but on a breaker, it is invaluable. This is because the last thing you want to do on a break shot is have to grip the cue overly tight. Goodbye snap and power and accuracy if you do. I find the wrapless offers me the ability to grip the cue more loosely and still swing it very fast without fear of losing the cue!

IMHO, of course.

Wrapless -- you can install a rubber wrap yourself if you need to

Definitely wrapless. IMHO, one can always later add a rubber wrap (tube) if extra "grip" is needed on a break cue:

I lean slightly towards a wrapless cue even though I'm playing with a wrapped cue at this time. Definitely a wrapless for a break cue w/o a doubt.
 
My preference is towards a wrapless cue. My only problem is in the dead middle of summer my hands tend to get a little sweaty which makes it slippery. Nothing a towel can't fix.
 
Bob! Is he looking for a BK2 break cue? If he is, tell him to get the new sport wrap.. it's badass!

I like wrapped because my hands sweat.

Then wrapless may be better for you long term, less wear and tear.

Wrapless for me.
 
I like the wrapped cues a little better. No real reason, I just like the way they feel a little better.
 
You can try a rubber wrap at SBE

James:

Are you going to SBE this year? If so, you might want to stop by the Longoni cues booth. Last year, they had a "test your break" challenge on a barbox with Tyler Edey wielding a speed gun. Most of the selection of Longoni break cues (which they are obviously encouraging you use for the challenge) had rubber wraps on 'em.

Hope this is helpful,
