taped wrists

Show is an individual cost, not a team cost. My bad for assuming everyone knew that.

When I was in college, the football coaches required every player to have both wrists taped everyday for practice and for games. Most of the players didn't want it so it was on so light that it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but the coach required it so it was there for them. Guess who was paying for that tape? Wasn't the football team's budget...

When I interned in the Frontier League, the athletic trainer there told me that the previous year he had a guy who came in and taped both his wrists with stretchy tape everyday for BP. Think Sammy Sosa above.. Then he would take that tape off and shower before the game so he would have to come in and re-tape each of them for the game. The athletic trainer put a stop to that one real quick...

Figured I’d bring this one back to life since there are some new products out there. Anybody here have any wrist protection products they swear by? My son wears an Evoshield guard on his glove hand but wants to start wrapping his throwing wrist. He wore a guard on it in the spring to protect a bad bone bruise and didn’t have any issues.

He also has an AllStar guard he doesn’t use. Says it is harder to put on and take off compared to the Evoshield

Evoshield for my kid too. His forearms and biceps take a beating still. I still get dirty looks from others not familiar with the sport when they see all the bruises

Sometimes I don’t think I give him enough credit for his toughness. I can tell when one hurts though.

Does your son wear the Evo on both wrists? Does he tape over them?

Evo on glove side only now. He uses stretch wrap for his glove side thumb and wrist.
