Hockey stick handle with Guard-Tex tape buildup on knob

Why Every Player Needs Custom Stick Builds

Factory sticks come with generic handles. Some players want thick knobs for security. Others want tapered builds for feel. Defensemen and forwards have different preferences.

Traditional tape buildup gets sticky and deteriorates. Layers of hockey tape create uneven surfaces. Old tape is messy to remove and leaves residue on composite shafts.

Players need a clean way to build custom handle shapes that stays consistent and removes without mess when it's time to rebuild.

How Guard-Tex Builds Better Sticks

Custom Knob Builds

Stack layers at the butt end for exactly the knob size you want. Tapered, mushroom, or blocky — your preference. Consistent shape every rebuild.

Zero Residue Removal

When it's time to rebuild, Guard-Tex unwraps clean. No sticky mess, no scraping, no residue on your composite shaft. Fresh start every time.

Works With Hockey Tape

Use Guard-Tex as a base layer under standard hockey tape, or as the final layer with tape underneath. Either way, your build stays clean.

Guard-Tex vs. Standard Hockey Tape Buildup

Standard tape buildup gets sticky over time and leaves residue when removed. Multiple tape layers create uneven bumps. Guard-Tex builds smoothly, maintains shape, and removes completely clean.

How to Build Your Perfect Stick

Build Your Knob

Wrap layers at the butt end until you get your preferred knob size. Guard-Tex conforms smoothly — no bumps or ridges. Build your signature shape.

Customize the Shaft

Add thickness anywhere on the handle for finger placement or grip zones. Mark your hand positions with different buildup thicknesses.

Tape Over or Leave Bare

Finish with standard hockey tape on top for your preferred feel, or leave Guard-Tex exposed — it provides grip on its own.

Pro Tips From Players

Build a larger knob for one-handed puck control — security without death-gripping.
Tape Guard-Tex white or black on top to match your team colors.
Mark your lower hand position with a slightly thicker band — find it without looking.

Hockey Stick Tape FAQ

Does Guard-Tex work under regular hockey tape?

Yes. Build your shape with Guard-Tex, then wrap standard hockey tape on top for the finish and texture you want. Best of both worlds.

Will it survive a full game?

Yes. The self-adhering formula stays put through sweat and gameplay. Tuck the end under itself for extra security. Rebuild between games as needed.

How do I remove it?

Just unwrap. No residue, no sticky mess, no scraping. Your shaft is clean and ready for a fresh build.
