Hello,
Been practicing the rollover shot after getting creamed with it in past couple of tourneys and during the many hours of practice, my wrists have not faired too well with the wood handles, plus the grip is just not there. Been using high grade electrical tape and the feeling and control is way better but it doesn't fair too well when trying to remove it. Which leads me to the question of where does everyone get their handle wraps in Tucson? I have tried looking online, but for a $2.00 wrap it costs $8.00 in shipping. And any brand you might suggest or tell me to stay clear of is welcome as well. Thanks in advance.

Sean,
I need some too, I was thinking of sending money with someone that goes to a large tourney to pick me up a few...they do wear out or in my case get so much stuff built up on them they don't provide enough stickeness,

Go to any sports store and look for replacement tennis handle wraps, they are the same thing (depending on brands, of course).

Picking out a brand you like will be trial and error, what works for some people may not work for others.

Electrical tape.....? stop with the silliness.... Whaaaaa?

To be fair, it is not what you think. Its actually F-4 tape, which sticks to itself and nothing else. I know, sounds stupid, but was just trying to see the difference with somthing on the handle. wink... Thanks for the help! And I'm in to give someone some cash to pick up a few as well.

Sean,

For now just go to sports authority or target and pick up some Wilson tennis wraps. Also, I believe Gordie had bought some Forten wraps which
are fairly good and he may want to sell you some. Those dont last very long and by far the best ones are the foosball TTR Masterwraps. I will buy some
in Vegas and will probably buy extra ones and sell them locally so people save on the shipping cost.
