What are good lacrosse taping methods, and what do you use for a butt end on your lacrosse stick?

Question

criss cross, helix, blah blah

Answer 1

You can buy the end caps at any lax store or online at stx.com, sportsunlimited.com, or any other place that carries lax equipment. You can also make your own by taking a bottle cap, pressing the rough edge up onto the stick, wrapping ducttape to secure and taping over the duct tape. Then you've got a personalized end cap!

I've never taped a guy's lax stick but have done many girl's sticks...

Here's one suggestion that sounds right:
Its all in the direction you tape the shaft. If you tape the shaft spiraling from top to bottom, as might seem logical, the tape edges will be exposed to your downward motion on the shaft and roll a bit. Taping from the bottom to the top will make the shaft smooth. Upward tight palm movement is rare, you'll find. Some players like that little bit of rolled tape from the top-to-bottom method as extra grip. Old and tattered tape is often a great grip. There are even players who create these ridges in the tape job on purpose, taping tighter spirals and rolling the entire length of the tape for consistent gription (new word. It needed to be done.). The pictures below are an extreme version of creating Gription. A piece of tape is rolled first and spiraled an inch or more apart as far as you like up the shaft. Then tape is rolled in a tighter spiral the same or greater distance UP the shaft. This can be done at the bottom to include the end cap taping, the top for top hand control (although not recommended) or in the middle as we have done in the demo. The best tape for doing gription tricks is the medical tape they sell at the drug store and the hockey tape sold at sports stores. The hockey tape is grippy on the outside to begin with. By the way, many players prefer to just tape the end cap and leave the shaft smooth, otherwise. Its all to taste. The best part about a tape job, as compared to a dye job or bake job is that they are completely reversible!


Good luck!!!
