Wrap Meaning in Billiards

The wrap is the material around the grip area of the butt. It helps players hold the cue comfortably. Common wraps use linen or leather. The wrap absorbs moisture from the hand. This prevents slipping during shots. Some cues have no wrap at all. Players choose based on feel and comfort. For example, during a long game, a player’s hand sweats slightly. The wrap keeps the grip steady and secure. A good wrap improves control under pressure.
