Butt-end taping

[johnson74 0]

I have noticed that the tape on the butt-end of sticks the pro's use looks almost gauze-like. Does anyone know what type/brand of tape they are using? And what advantages there are to this type of tape? It seems very popular. Thanks.

Yeah, it's called sponge tape. Renfrew and a lot of tape companies make it. We sell it for $1.25 USD at my shop :D . Quite popular actually in an aray of fruitful colors. OOOOOOO PRETTY!!!

we have lots of different colours at our store as well

i personally like it but it wears out after 2 or 3 games

try it and you'll see if you'll like it or not

i don't like it cause it leaves my gloves "gunky" and sometimes its hard to take my hand off the butt end. and it does wear out pretty quick.

it effs up your palms too.

i lay down some white tape first, then use the sponge with a strip of white at the ends to keep it down.. adn then I never replace it, the grip of it pretty much wears off after a few games.

Yeah I used to use it, but after it gets old it gets this weird sticky layer on it, that sticks onto my palms and pretty much ruined my eastons. Plus I think it wears down your palms faster.

I've been using the Andover version for a couple months now and it hasn't caused any extra wear on my gloves. The old stuff I tried was pretty bad (don't recall the brand) but the newer stuff is working out pretty well.
