I recently played with a 3/4 ash cue that I found produced a bit of friction on my bridge and slightly cut my hand , took a few weeks for the cut to fully heal up. So the cue obviously needs a bit of treatment to get it smooth on the bridge.
What I found though is that a spot plaster , little circular plaster about 23 mm diameter placed on the bridging spot seems to cover the job perfectly if you're concerned that your cue is not smooth enough , I should think you can still play perfectly normally even with the mild cut on your bridge spot as the Elastoplast spot plaster stuck to my hand perfectly well for ages when I was practicing feathering with the cue at home afterwards , after a while I forgot it was there.
Which leads me to my question , why do players wear a glove when I reckon a spot plaster would be perfectly sufficient and a plaster of course will produce less moisture on the hand ? Thoughts.....
