Our local store never has this. I bought these to wrap the handles on our throwing axes. It provides great grip, and if you hit the handle with another axe, it doesn't splinter the handle. Saved many axes by gluing the chip back in place and re-wrapping.I love going to the hockey store but we’re always out of this tape. This roll is a great deal and now we’re set for a long time. I have two kids who play and we sure do eat up a lot of tape and this is great.This was a gift for our 11 year old grandson who just recently started playing ice hockey in northern New York. He was amazed that Grammy knew to buy him this product for his equipment…Score 1 for GrammyIt is a product that needs to be replenished as it is a consumable for keeping equipment protected and repaired.My son uses this product for rollerblade hockey. He usually has to re-tape after every other practice. He has stated that it works really well and doesn't interfere with his playing. This tape also does well with controlling the puck and doesn't cause the puck to bounce off of the stick.One of the hockey parents recommended this brand compared to Howie's or other name brand hockey tapes. We really didnt use the white my son prefers black on his stick. The clwar tape was the best it was easy to tear and actually held up his socks like he liked those if they have a pack of just those i would buy again. unfortunately the black tape didnt last long maybe 2 practices and I'm having to retape and that's with wax on the tape as well. I know my son is hard on the toe of his stick but we need a hockey tape that will work and hold up to all the use. I would definitely say this tape would be good for those just starting out or in the mites/termites. My son is a AA squirt.Serves it purpose and was a fair price. No complaints and will buy again.Good tape at a good price.We purchased a colorful one last year but we forgot where we put it. So we purchased this one. This one functions well as the previous one but just plain and cheaper.Update: not quite durable.
