I see a lot of pro players tape a thin little knob on their stick with 1/2 inch tape, does anyone know where to get this tape or do they cut a roll of tape in half?

They cut a roll in half, its not difficult, I do it all the time, use one half for the blade (more ridges = more spin, imo) and the other half for the buttend. It works out well, except I get left with a lot of half rolls cause I don't tape the knob NEARLY as often as I tape the blade.

If they sold 1/2" rolls, I'd be a happy man...

just tear it a little thinner, once you start ripping it around it will keep constant size as you rip :up:

I also find that making a knob with electrical tape then taping over with stick tape also works.
