Best hockey tape?

[mojo122 530]

does anyone know if/where I could find friction white tape?

Haven't come across in my years of playing and this thread makes me think there's no such tape.

Does anyone make a thin width tape, like in the 1/2" to 3/4" range? I like having a lot of ridges, I've always just ripped my tape in half, but would love to buy some tape that already came in a thinner width.

Have you seen Howies soccer sock tape? It is cloth tape with "pinked" serrated edges. Will that give you the ridges you are looking for?

jaybird is strait garbage imo, i use renfrew or howies, although most places around me only sell jaybird

Do you guys know of any brands of tape that make wide tape in black cloth? Like actual hockey tape, not athletic tape

[Stewie 721]

Howies has a wide in black I think

[steelnation248 101]

I'm pretty sure the wide black we have at my store is Renfrew, or it could be compustick (sp?).

Howies wide in Black is my favorite right now.

I have this plasticy textured tape

I put this stuff on sometime in high school (1996-1999) and it's still on there

Anyone remember what it's called?

Do they still make it?

Is it "rubber electrical tape"? Kind of an unvulcanized rubber with a peel-off backing? Sticks to itself tenaciously?

Bicycle grip tape is similar..tennis racket grip might be as well.

[chapel 20]

no, it's MUCH stiffer than electrical tape. I remember when I got it, it was very difficult to put on because it didn't flex well.

It did have a peel off backing though.

i remember using that stuff while in high school also, around the same time frame. dont remember what it is though
