How to tape a baseball bat
Decide which tape you want to use.
Decide which material you want your tape to be made out of and choose which color you'd like your tape to be. Consider tapes that have the ability to absorb moisture, as this will prevent your hands from slipping when you use the bat.
There are many kinds of tapes, including electrical tape, grip tape, bat tape, and tennis tape. Avoid using plastic tapes because they do not absorb moisture.
