How to Wrap a Hockey Stick
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
- Hockey stick
- Grip tape
- Scissors
- Tape measure (optional)
Step 2: Clean the Stick
- Use a damp cloth to wipe down the shaft of the hockey stick to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 3: Trim the Grip Tape
- Measure the length of the stick's shaft that you want to cover.
- Cut a piece of grip tape to that length, plus an additional 2-3 inches for overlap at the ends.
Step 4: Apply the First Layer
- Tear off a small piece of tape and wrap it around the bottom of the stick's shaft.
- Continue wrapping the tape around the shaft, overlapping the edges by about half an inch.
- Make sure the tape is tight but not too tight.
Step 5: Add Multiple Layers
- Repeat step 4 to add additional layers of grip tape.
- The number of layers you need will depend on your personal preference and the desired thickness of the grip.
Step 6: Finish with Overlap
- When you reach the end of the stick's shaft, overlap the end of the grip tape with the beginning by 2-3 inches.
- Trim any excess tape.
