How often do you tape your stick?

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

hahahaha DAMN...

[Buzz_LightBeer 972]

White up top, black down below. Just like me.

unfortunate light socket incident as a young man, "still cant grow hair on my left nut....DAMN!"

lol, thats good stuff...

I use yellow tape, because it looks good on my R2 XN10.

I only have access to the Renfrew tape. I use black for blades and white for the top handle grip. Black has rubbed off on my gloves over the years and it's hard to get the stuff off. I find my black tape frays a little better than the white does, doesn't hang off as much when it wears down.

Where do you live?

I use white on the handle and black on the blade.

white and white, I use a puck to smooth out the tape on the blade though which marks up the tape alot though...

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

I use white on the handle and black on the blade.

same thing for me

[Guest phillyfan]

Usually a combination of white/yellow or white/green on the handle, and always black tape on the blade.

I use white on my handle, and mostly black on the blade. Sometimes if I have other colours such as green, red, or yellow, I use those for the blade.

For inline on Sportcourt, I retape the blade every 2-3 games or when the bottom of the blade starts showing.

I've always used red on the butt-end (it kills my gloves, I know, I know) and white on the blade. No reason, just a dirty 10-yr habit.

I use black on the butt-end, it doesnt matter since my gloves have black palms :D .

Actually it will still degrade them faster. I know from personal experiance, I thought the same thing, then I needed to buy new gloves by the end of the season.

[kosydar 0]

White and white.

I tape my stick about every ice time and white top and bottom it saves the gloves and I have Eagle x90's so I like to keep the palm in good shaped. I dont want to buy $245 gloves for a while. ;)

use the tape, not a puck, the puck will black it all and look bad, if you use the tape roll, it wont leave marks, thats what i do and it works well...

I tape white on top and black on blade. I retape my blade if it needs it. If it's just for pick up and it's a crappy stick, than I don't care.

[Fonya 0]

Every game for me. Practices I dont care.

[Guest 2048]

Every game now that I'm playing center. Faceoffs are brutal on tape.

Edit- White on the end plug and whatever color I have in my bag for the blade.

[Guest Stax7]

i use whatever i have. But mostly black on blade becuase i was told by a goalie that sometimes its hard to see the puck with black tape on the bottom

[Guest LEAFS12]

I always use black tape, infact that is the only color I use for my Ice hockey sticks.

[SniperSteve 0]

i always use white i ve only used black twicwe in my life

[CardinalHcky19 0]

why would you bring back a 2 year old topic?

[MJDhcky9 0]

Well since its back I use white on butt end black on blade

[cracker_jack 0]

well i use a wilson tennis grip on the butt so i never touch that.

blade i re-tape when it gets covered in cat hair from my house.

i use white on the blade. call me silly, but i seem to feel a huge weight difference between white and black. white is so much lighter.

[pantherfan 0]

I only retape the buttend when it get to horrible looking and i retape the blade when the blade face is full of holes i dont retape when it goes through the bottom as i prefer it
