President Dwight D. Eisenhower was an avid golfer who played over 800 rounds during his presidency. He discovered Guard-Tex and used it to wrap his golf club grips, adding cushioning and reducing friction during his frequent games.
"Guard-Tex provided the comfort Eisenhower needed for long days on the course — cushioning without residue, protection without damage to his equipment."
The same tape that protected a president's hands can protect yours. Guard-Tex works two ways for golfers: wrap it on your hands to prevent blisters, or wrap it on your clubs for added grip cushioning.
Tape friction-prone areas: the inside of your lead hand thumb, base of fingers, and palm heel. Prevents blisters during long practice sessions and rounds.
Add a layer of Guard-Tex over club grips for extra cushioning. Reduces vibration and friction. Replace between rounds without damaging the underlying grip.
Lead hand (left for right-handed golfers): The inside of the thumb takes friction from every swing. The base of the index and middle fingers grip the club tightly. The heel of the palm absorbs vibration. These are your primary tape targets.
Trail hand: Less common, but the fingers can blister from tight grip pressure. Tape if you notice hot spots developing.
Between fingers: Some golfers develop blisters between fingers from interlock or overlap grips. Tape these areas or adjust grip style.
Tape friction-prone areas before playing. Common spots include the inside of the lead hand thumb, the base of fingers, and the palm heel. Wearing a glove helps, but tape adds protection where gloves wear thin or do not cover.
Golfers use athletic tape or self-adhering tape like Guard-Tex. Self-adhering tape is preferred by many because it leaves no residue on clubs or hands, removes painlessly over existing blisters, and can be wrapped on club grips for extra cushioning.
President Eisenhower wrapped Guard-Tex on his golf club grips to reduce friction and improve comfort during his frequent rounds. The tape provided cushioning without adhesive residue, and could be replaced between rounds without damaging the underlying grips.
Yes. Wrapping self-adhering tape like Guard-Tex over grips adds cushioning and friction protection. The tape leaves no residue when removed, so you can re-wrap grips as often as needed without damaging them.
Wraps anything. Sticks to nothing. American made since 1935.
