Finger Tape

[Tyler86]

Not looking to debate proper grip setup or swing. Occasionally, my fingers will get tender after playing a lot of consecutive rounds or practice sessions. Ive used hockey tape in the past but it leaves a nasty residue on my fingers. It also helps me with a little extra grip on wet days, not a fan of rain gloves. I’ve tried some cheap medical tape from a first aid kit and it wont stay on. Any recommendations from those of you that use finger tape?

My first thought was to google what type of tape does Tiger use.   All I could find was that he uses white medical tape for the reasons you describe.

Saw on Rocco mediate Instagram videos he has his fingers all taped up not sure if he ever mentions what he uses but could prob go through and see if he mentions it or try to reach out to him not sure if he responds to message on social media … my first thought would be medical tape

I’ve been using this for the last year and it works great. Even in hot and humid weather

I saw that too,  didn't think it was beneficial since Nike doesn't make golf equipment so it probably isnt made anymore

Couldnt find anywhere to buy speedwrap that i trusted per say, and their website is rough at best. Ordered some birdiewrap. I'm a sucker for good marketing and 1st person recommendations. We shall see how it goes. Thanks @RickyBobby_PR and everyone else.

I get some blisters on the side of my right hand ring finger if I don't cover the area. I will typically use medical tape but in a pinch I'll just throw a standard band-aid on there. It works find if I run out of tape or don't have it in my bag. Might have to check out the birdiewrap next time I need something.

The speedwrap site hasn't been updated since 2002! And it looks it too.

I wish Birdiewrap didnt have graphics on it, but am considering it.  Let us know how it goes!

Not questioning that,  but Rocco said that is what he uses in a post last October. Said he buys it at PGA Superstore.

Current search on PGASuperstore shows no results. Whos Rocco?

I can tell you how it goes. It works great. Used it all last season.

This is what I use.  stays in place and leaves no sticky residue on grips.

I use regular old athletic tape, 1.5". I get it in a three roll pack. It doesn't leave a residue like the medical stuff does. It is relatively cheap as well.

For use, I pull off how much I need and then tear it in half lengthwise. I then wrap my index and middle fingers.

That's what I've always used.  I will note that I find the Band-Aid brand does a much better job of not leaving residue compared to the generic store brands.

As a rock climber, and someone who never wears a glove I can tell you that the best athletic tape is Leukotape, and it’s not really close. The adhesive is nuts, so one wrap is enough and it’s sturdy and durable.

however, I now mostly use this type of cohesive tape, that only sticks to itself. It’s benefit is that it’s kind of rubbery, so it still have good grip, and also you don’t remove the hair on your fingers every time you peel it off (but you might need scissors). It’s a bit harder to get tight enough, but it also breathes well.
