I would advise not doing it by hand, it really hurts. #HandCramp

Morning. Can you give us an idea of how much you need for each bat? What lengths do the rolls come in?

Thanks a lot. Justin


If you're asking re kinesio tape : about 2.5ft (rolls come in 5m lengths for $10-20, im using elastoplast brand , about $10au). If you're asking re medical tape : about 3ft (rolls come in 5-6m lengths for $5-8, ive always used the elastoplast brand rigid strapping tape ). Lengths ive mentoned are for taping the whole handle but ive experimented with 2 wraps on bottom and two wraps on the top and then the length is less than 1ft....this minimal method does work ok but leaves more flex in the handle . When using tape i still leave about 1inch of twine on the bottom of the handle to strengthen the shoulders . If i want the twine a bit lower than its done from the batmaker/factory , then i undo all the twine and rewrap , by hand, about 1inch worth where i want it , then wipe over pva glue to hold the twine .

Half a bat (54mm) plus clearence, I'd say say 100mm, can supply drawings and stl files for 3D prints
