A quality merry widow style cue will have a good balance between the rears inlay work and color and figure of wood used in the forearm.

Wrapless Pool Cues
Wrapless Pool Cues are named that way because they do not have a wrap style or leather hand grip area.
Some wrapless pool cues usually utilize high quality hardwoods for the handle area that are visually appealing.
Some cues break up the handle area into multiple pieces with ring work or some other divider, these types of cues would be considered segmented handles.

Some cue makers finish over the linen wrap to give their cues a wrapless feel like a Meucci.
Carbon cues generally do not have wraps as well and would be considered wrapless.
