white tape v.s. black tape

[rausch27 1]

any advantages/disadvantages to white or black tape?

[Karly14 21]

black tape hides the puck better obviously, white allows you too see where the puck on the blade better ( but it also blends in your blade with the ice..) , not too many goalies or players will agree that using black or white tape gives you any kind of advantage. Its all personal preference

[Squirrel 0]

no real advantages or disadvantages. just what you like

Black tape is also a tad bit thicker than white...

i disagree, its seem to me that white is thicker than black.

i use white tape to tell where the puck hits my blade on my slapshots when im getting used to a new curve sometimes.

i know i'm weird...but when i use any other color than black...it seem like the puck is heavier!!!!! lol i know i'm weird lol! no need to say!

oh well...2-3 week ago i play with my L-2 and put red tape...and it wasn't that bad...but still had a little impression that the puck was heavier!

I use them both, but I prefer black tape, I dont know why?

[rausch27 1]

another question , its kind of stupid but why is cloth tape used?

Soaks up the water before the blade and provides grip, take your pick.

I usually use white tape, then I run a puck over it....gives it a little grip.

That's the problem, everyone rips on your posts because some/many are stupid.

If you know you are going to get your "head bitten off" why do you continue to make useless posts? You know that you put up useless posts yet you continue to post them. Doesn't make sense to me.

I have always used black. I am just used to it and like the uniformity of black tape on a black blade.

Why do you run a puck over it exactly? i've seen other people mention it in their posts. And how would you do it?

i use white tape on the shaft, this is better for the palms (in my opinion)

you run the puck to make sure the tape is sticking to the stick.

I switch back and forth, only notice a difference if I'm using friction tape or not. I like to run the puck on my blade, then use candle wax on the whole thing to reduce the water absorbtion and protect the tape job more.

black tape is also supposed to hide the puck more from the goalie....my coach told me to put black on my stick because yellow shows the puck too much. does it make a difference from a goalies standpoint, does the tape hide the puck?

[Squirrel 0]

not too many goalies or players will agree that using black or white tape gives you any kind of advantage.

the goalie on my team says it doesnt affect him whether black or white

I usually just buy whatever is in bulk for cheap. I don't think that the color of your tape is going to result in more goals.

I remember awhile back they had some Bauer tape at HockeyGiant. I got like 15 rolls for $10 and it looked cool because you had a "Bauer" pattern all over your blade lol. It was also pretty durable, didn't fray or wear down really fast or anything. I hate when I get some crappy tape that wears down or comes off easily.
