Grip Tape

[tracR 0]

This probably shouldn't go here but I have a friend who works for the caps and picked up some grip tape from their locker-room, this tape was different and more durable than the run of the mill grip tape I pick up at my local pro-shop. Does anyone have any idea what kind this could be, it didn't say anything on the inside of the roll, but I used it and liked it a lot any help would be appreciated.

No sorry dont have the role... it was less stretchy than the regular stuff

Its probably the cohesive gauze tape. I have some rolls of the same stuff and like it more than the regular grip gauze tape. The cohesive I have is thinner, less stretchable, less grippy, and yeah, more durable. Not all the hockey sites online have it, but there's a guy on eBay that sells it for a good price. Just look for hockey gauze tape on eBay and you'll find it.

^ Just placed an order for a few rolls off the guy from eBay. Will let you know how it is. I love the normal renfrew grip tape, I just recently started using it again and forgot how much I loved it. It had torn a hole straight through my eagle gloves which is why I stopped using it when I got my Franchises. But, started to use it again and have no regrets.

Does this tape eat through the palms of gloves?

That was always my key concern with grip tape.

My experience, Tacki-Mac is the best solution for glove wear. Also give you unbeatable grip and reliability.

Thanks, I will look into this. I don't want to have to re-palm my gloves every year.

Tacki-mac is the best thing out there for grip. Love the Kane grips - just wish they had knobs. But I'm getting used to not having one.

Oggie does custom grips. You just send them a handle of a stick with your tape job and they make an exact copy but in their material.

Here is where you can buy it in bulk and save a lot.

It makes a great grip, but you need to change it out as soon as it starts to get threadbare (when the rubbery coating starts to wear off the cross-threads). This condition can lead to premature wear on the gloves. Don't try to conserve it or you will be disappointed in its performance.

Wow, they sell that Andover flex tape for three four bucks here! What a rip off compared to the case price!
