How often do you tape your stick?

[boomer 0]

i put a piece of electrical tape on the bottom, and then tape around it and it dosent wear ont eh bottom too quickly, then i just change the tape when its getting reallly beat up from skates etc.

iretape whenever my stick seems to need it.

i use stick wax so the tape sometimees lasts for a while

[Langenbrunner15 0]

White on top and never retape that unless I need to make the shaft longer or want it shorter. Black or White on the blade, whatever I get first but usually white tape on the blade.

Blade every ice time, and top when it starts to look bad; that can mean one ice time or 5. I only do a thin wrap similiar to how I do my blade, so it wears down quick.

Edit: And I only use white tape. Though, I had to use pink for my shins once, as the only person who had any bloody tape was a girl...

Grip - once a month or so

Blade - before every practice, game, pick-up, etc.

If he does it like I do, then it gets really crappy looking fast. The gooey tape residue some how gets to the top of it, and if you leave it, plays hell with palms.

i sweat a lot i mean A LOT and so my butt end gets looking pretty nasty really quickly, and it starts to smell.

I spray my handle with the same antibacterial spray I use for my equipment. If it's getting ragged then I either take a lighter to it to get rid of excess fibers and whatnot or I remove the tape below the knob and put a layer over the knob and down the shaft a few inches. I avoid retaping the knob at all costs because I use a large knob... yes, I said large knob.

what buttend tape is good for goat palms?

[SyracuseBulldogs04 0]

For the grip usually the stick breaks before the grip goes, but if it doesnt I usually leave it for like a month. And for the blade every ice time.

For my goat eagles i just taped the knob and grip with normal hockey tape.

I'm about once every other skate for the blade. Handle whenever it needs it. I usually switch sticks before I need to change the handle.

Everytime i hit that ice

[CardinalHcky19 0]

I'll use it for 2 practices and then the games on the weekends and retape it for the next week.

Mine, for some reason never really gets that beat up. I tape it about every 3 games. I double tape it for a softer catch, but it usually never gets throught he 1st layer. I DO buy nice tape too.

I usually tape my stick before every game/practice just so the carbon on my blade doesn't get chipped or anything,

[Vic 0]

I know I used white tape on the knob so that my palms didn't get marked up.

But if your just worried about breaking down the palms, choosing white tape wont make any difference.

White tape, black tape, red tapes. It's all tape and it'll breakdown the palm of the glove.

The colored tapes just mark up the inside.

Nothing better than a fresh sheet of tape on ur stick...for me its gotta be every time i hit the ice (depending on whether its waxed or not)

[jon93 0]

it depends on how much tape i have left usually every other ice time

white and white

[Ferny 0]

um wenever i can get some hockey tape frum my teammates lol haha but usually every ice time

[Shane_e_19 0]

I usually tape mine every 3rd ice time, unless i get a good scratch in it or somethin, as far as doing the handle always try to use white tape, Coloured/black tape wear out the palms in your gloves faster.

here is my tip, put one layer of tape along the bottom of the blade then start wrapping up the blade with your hockey tape. This way you won't have to go through as many tape jobs because its usually the bottom of the blade that gets worn out first.

Yeah, I agree with him on that one. It saves you about 5 ice times of not taping your stick that way.
