how do you people tape you sticks

[LetsGoWings13 0]

one of my freinds says its bad to use tape in roller because of the extra friction but than your sticks take a beating. Does it really make that much of a difference

i use hockey tape and it works fine for me. the extra friction gives ya better control on stickhandling and your shots.

I use tape on my blade for sport court, but after I tape the blade I get a candle(not a sticky one) and rub it on the bottom of the blade. I like the puck to have some friction on the blade, rahter than on the surface.

Hockey tape and use an exacto knife to cut off the bottom layer. I was experimenting alot last year, and this is what i liked best.

I use regular tape plus wax for grip on the puck. After a few slapshots the tape is usually worn off the bottom so as not to get in the way stick handling. I'll take a knife to it if the bottom of the blade gets too ragged.

Tape on the front side of the blade only for me at the bottom.

For the grip, I add about 8 inches of tape down from the top with a raised spiral for grip.

no tape, I don't like friction when I stickhandle, this way I can move the puck faster.

Tape with wax ONLY on the tip of the blade.

I tape my blade like normal, then i cut the bottom off with a razor so there is no friction with the floor, but I can still get decent grip with the puck.

Any of you use black tape for roller?

I use it, but the rink where we play says you can't have black on the bottom. So I run a thin strip of white along the bottom, then plenty of wax so it will slide/stop the white strip peeling off

but doesnt the floor wear out your sticks kindof badly when ther is no tape on the bottom

I've had this problem as well. Use dark blue.

no, sure if you have a graphite blade or a wood blade without ABS, that might be wearing very fast.

i was dicking around after ther was a merceyed game and the blade showed some wear after 20 minutes of shooting

can i ask what kind of roller surface you play on (pavement or what) and what kind of blade u use? i play roller alot and normally use the koho 2100 ultimate blades or else the new sherwood abs 405 blades. i normally dont tape them - but i do tape my blades and then cut off the very bottom when i play on sport court. just my 2 cents - but its mostly personal preference

well i dont want to use my inno blade if it is gonna do damage. I play on roller hockey tiles. im not sure what they are called exactly tho lol
