Batting practice destroys hands. Hundreds of swings per session, bat vibration on mishits, friction that builds until blisters form. Game-day calluses are one thing — but the accumulated damage from daily BP can sideline hitters when it matters most.
Self-adhering tape solves two problems: protecting hands from blister damage and improving grip on worn bat handles.
Hand Protection
Most batting blisters form at the base of the fingers on the bottom hand. That's where grip pressure concentrates and where bat rotation creates friction. Tape these zones before practice — prevention is easier than treatment.
Tape works under batting gloves for double protection, or alone when you prefer bare-handed feel. The thin profile doesn't affect grip mechanics.
Handle Wrapping
Worn bat grips lose traction. Instead of replacing the entire grip, wrap self-adhering tape over the worn sections. The cotton surface provides excellent friction, and you can customize the thickness exactly where you need it.
