Lacrosse stick tape questions.
What is lacrosse stick tape used for?
Lacrosse stick tape wraps around selected areas of the shaft to change the surface and grip thickness. Guard-Tex is a non-stretch woven cotton option whose overlapping layers stick to each other.
How do you wrap a lacrosse shaft with Guard-Tex?
Start with a clean, dry grip area. Hold the starting end in place and wrap with overlapping passes so the tape contacts itself. Press the finishing end onto the layer beneath it. Follow the product directions and your stick manufacturer's care instructions.
Can I make the grip thicker or thinner?
Yes. Add overlapping layers where you prefer a fuller grip, or unwrap outer layers for a slimmer feel. Adjust a small area first and check the result with your lacrosse gloves on.
Does Guard-Tex stretch?
No. Guard-Tex is non-stretch woven cotton. Unroll the tape as you wrap instead of pulling it longer.
Which width and pack should I choose?
The featured starter pack is black ¾-inch Guard-Tex with a storage tin. Each roll is 90 feet, or 30 yards, long. You can change the width, color and pack in the shop; 1½-inch tape is also available.
What should I check before playing?
Check that the wrap is secure and the handle feels comfortable in your gloves. Replace loose, worn or dirty tape. Keep the manufacturer's required end cap in place and check your current competition's equipment rules before modifying your stick.
Does Guard-Tex contain latex?
Yes. Guard-Tex contains natural rubber latex. Do not use it if you have a latex allergy.
