Should i put tape on my hockey stick?

Question

i've just gotten a rbk 7k composite hockey stick. it comes with the sticky paint on it, but i was wondering it that would be enough or if i should still put tape on the top. this is my first stick with the sticky paint and i just wondering what to do. thanks.

Answer 1

yeah it helps alot.

Answer 2

A ridge helps at the top of the stick but don't forget to create a k**b about 1/2 to 1 inch thick so you know where the top of your stick is. (kinda like on a baseball bat) Tape about 6 - 12 inches depending how far down the stick you go when you take a face off, if you take any. Oh and don't forget to tape the blade

Answer 3

it is good

Answer 4

yeah, having the extra grip is always needed. Also you should wrap the very top of the stick multiple times so its thicker on that part so when you drop your stick, its easier to pick it up because the tape has it semi off the ground. Also I don't know about you but I put a ridge in my tape. You roll the tape and then spiral it around where you put your top hand, and then tape over it. I like it because my fingers grip it easier. But yes I would definitely tape the top of your stick

Answer 5

yes it really does help

Answer 6

I love having ataped stick my favorite part was putting it on

Answer 7

yes always put tape on the top of your stick nomatter wut it helps trust me i tried it without it once and everything was messed up my shots my passes and it was hard to hold onto the stick

Answer 8

Absolutely; top and bottom. It will always makes the difference. Even with the stick paint because it can always wear out, and not be as sticky. It also helps you from losing the stick when your playing.
