Would Rescue Tape work in this application to provide a cushion grip?
My concern with wrapping with a glue-back tape is what happens when it gets warm and older. Then you're getting a mitt full of sticky. And vinyl tapes shrink, leaving the glue behind. Would Rescue Tape work in this application to provide a cushion grip?
Go to a good sporting goods store and get bat handle wrap. Comes in different colors, does not rub off on hands and sticks for ever.
