It should be expected from a nash/clarino palm when you play so much. What color tape do you have on your handle? Do you have any special grips or anything as well? A lot of factors could also lead to premature breakdown of the palm.

I have easton z-airs 00 and they are made of nash and kangaroo skin, if taht is not durable waht materials are durable palms made of?

Goat skin, cow leather, pittards digital, and probably the new mustang seude.

Pittards Digital isn't durable.

The only thing black dye from tape does to your palms is color them black... nothing more.

Black tape has acid in it which eats through your palms

I thought that wives tale was cracked years ago... I guess it's possible. I can't see a reason that they would still use acid based dye, I mean it's not like the dye stays with the tape anyway... acrylic would be much cheaper (I thought all tape nowadays used acrylic).

Anyhoo, never noticed a difference one way or the other on my gloves (and I have a few pair).

Are we talking about black cloth tape? That's what I use and the palms in my SherWood 5060's have held up great.

I have/had them. They ripped like mad, now I wear M-1's, which are just plain awesome.
