Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Starting on the backhand side just before the heel, place the tape about three-quarters up the backhand and begin wrapping toward the toe.
2. Keep overlap to about one-quarter of the 1-inch tape width throughout.
3. Near the toe, unroll a generous length of tape (more than you need) to make covering the toe cleanly easier. Finish the toe and press all edges down tight.
4. Trim excess tape around the toe with scissors.
