Athletic tape for hook grip

[Greg Ruhl]

My skin kept splitting open right next to the thumb joint. Tape resolved the problem for me.

Wrap the correct direction -- so that the pull from the fingers tightens the tape instead of pulling it off.

I've never thought of this. Thanks for pointing this out.

So lets say you had your thumb tips pointed at your face. You would wrap

Left thumb - Clock Wise
Right thumb - Counter Clock Wise

No?

i.e. you want to tape in the direction that the bar will slide

how does tape tighten?
