I searched the forum and found a reference to using spatting tape to tape catcher's wrists? Has anybody tried this on any other position players? Does it work? Any tips?

Just to be clear, I'm talking about for protection, not post injury. Thanks.
Tape works for about 15 minutes. After that it is typically too loose to really be much benefit.
But it looks good! That's why those of us in the athletic training profession call much of it "TV Tape." I'd guess 80%+ of baseball players who have their wrists taped have it for the looks rather than function.

Bulldog,
Have you used spatting tape on forearms?

I've never used "spatting tape" at all, but yes I have used athletic tape for a lot of things including wrists, thumbs, knees, ankles, and elbows.
Like I said, most of it is for looks and not so much for function.
What do you want to achieve with this tape?
