Saw this website and wondered if they were legit? Any experience with them? I'm really tired of using the refrew sold at my local shop and I noticed that they ship sportstape (which I've heard to be pretty good stuff). Any information would be nice. Thanks.

Haven't used them, but I've used http://www.dollartapeclub.com/and have been happy with them.

I checked that site out. Seemed pretty good until I saw that they charge for shipping.

It doesn't say anything about it on there site I can see. Does dollar tape club charge for shipping and if they do how much is it?

It's just short of 6 bucks for shipping. I reckon if you're going to buy a lot at once, dollartapeclub is probably a better bet but if you're just looking for a few rolls a month, hockey players club might be a better deal. I signed up for it just now to see how it works. I've wanted to try out sportstape because the Renfrew at my local shop is garbage.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with the total hockey brand tape at the store. I usually buy the 6 pack for $15 that will last me a while. I was just interested in the dollar tape club because it was under $2 a roll. I did see some deals on ebay for bulk hockey tape at less than $2 a roll. Wonder how some of that stuff is?

No total hockey in Oregon for me. My local shop charges 3 dollars per roll of Renfrew -- Can't stand the strand that comes off the side. 5 rolls of sportstape for 12 out the door seems like a good deal.

Total Hockey tape is manufactured by North American Tape. Not sure if it's good or not, I've just never used anything different.

I saw it, but my buying of tape/laces/etc is so sporadic it's not worth it for me.

I got my take in just two days. Pretty good deal for 12 bucks. Not sure I'll need 6 rolls a month but that can always change. I woukd still like to try Howie's at some point to compare to sportstape.

Has anyone tried their sticks? The XV3 at 420g seemed nice, but the new X1X at 375g looks like an amazing deal.

Proformance Wax has awesome tape (no sure who makes it). That stuff is really, really good. It holds up well and it handles water better than Howies or renfrew and they're pretty decently priced.

How do sticks with no reviews and that no one has held in their hand, let alone played with “seem nice” and “look like a deal?”

I haven't seen Proformance Eax PF Stick Tape tape for sale for a while. Where do you get it?

I figured someone might call me out on that. I watched the video of Zac Bell from Always Hockey using one and the Christian Hanson one from their site. Plus, the weights are very light. I like light sticks. There's almost nothing lighter than the X1X other than the Vapor ADV and the Fantom. I am impressed by that. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger. If they are even as good as the Sher-wood Rekker line (which I think are currently the best bang for buck) then they are a good deal. I will let you guys know how it goes.

I buy it directly from their website.
