Renfrew Composite Stick Wrap?

[Bendy 0]

I saw some sort of tape or wrap for composite sticks at the LHS thats supposedly helps the durability. It's made by renfrew, and has Steve Yzerman on the wrapper. What's the deal?

anyone?

Does it look like normal white/black tape? If so i could just be tape that doesnt tear as easily for graphite blades.

If its anything like renfrew's standard tape, stay away from it. Whenever I use that junk the entire bottom of the blade has no tape on it after one shift. The OPS tape JR sent me a while back was great stuff. Didn't feel any different than your average roll of tape, but lasted me almost twice as long as it usually does.

on the subject of tape, i actually think renfrew is the best tape that i've used so far. i got some cantech tape (according to the owner, they supply tape to the leafs, and some other NHL teams) and the tape would disappear after half an hour, and if it got wet at all, it'd start peeling

hey, 100th post, :lol:

Most if all of the league uses Renfrew. Keep in mind these guys will tape ever period if needed.

Or just use a different stick.

I live about half an hour from Renfrew,the town where the tape comes from and I think its great tape. I love the sock tape.

Ohh, nice. It says it adds a "soft grip" feel.

This could be the answer to our grip needs.

That's the stuff. I was just wondering about how it worked, and if any had used it. I noticed it at the register when I bought my new response+ :D

It's tempting. I may have to order it to see if it's worth it.

Has anyone tried this stuff yet? If so how does the grip feel?

[hip check 0]

A teammate has had it on for a couple of weeks. His stick hasn't broken. Does that mean it works, or just hasn't been hit hard enough to break it yet. One of those funny products where you can't really tell if it works or not. Do they warranty their product, or have tests to back it up?

If it adds a grippy feel, might be good for those that like that type of surface.

I'm more interested in the grip it provides.

[Jordan6969 0]

Yeah, that stuff sounds pretty cool to me. I think i might have to invest in some of that renfrew tape. I've also been trying new grip techniques lately.

my tape always has to be perfect, even if it is fine i tape again so it doesn't really matter if this last longer because ill be taping again anyways. but if it gives more PROTECTION i would be interested, but from what i've seen this is only for the shaft of your stick and i need it for the blade more than everything. am i correct?

[sgazi76 0]

It's made for the shaft, but maybe you could slap some on the blade?

[leafsrule1 0]

if u go to this page http://www.scapana.com/mgdContent/public/l...ell%20sheet.pdf and read the bullets describing it, it says it can be used on the blade along with the shaft.

There ya go!

[kovalchuk71 212]
