I play wing spiker for my highschool and whenever I hit a really good spike some of my fingers hurt like crazy this is a lifesaver

[@hunterw8709]

Do you use the x pattern taping? If not which one do you use

[@sueduan5863]

I’ve never heard anyone use wing spiker and the word spike that much until this comment section wtf

Thank you ! I hurt my little finger and I wanted to know how to tape it for the next session. There's a lot of different way to do it haha

[@blaisedrums]

[@vsvp_manga]

Thank you for the video! I'm a setter and which kind of taping technique should i use for my position?

[@lukaseldenrust2637]

I personally use the cross on the palm side for some of my fingers (the ones that I hurt the easiest) my fingertips are still free so I can still feel the ball. When I have to step in as middle blocker I do tape up my nails and entire finger tho, it helps protect my fingers for the next set when I could be put in as a setter again.

[@vsvp_manga]

@@lukaseldenrust2637 woaah thank you

[@STAR-wq3kn]

when I was playing setter I personally didn't like taping since I get easily irritated by stiff fingers, my opinion its definitely personal preference I know some setters that usually tape up more than me but now that I'm a wing spiker i definitely see why you need to tape up

[@ester6180]

[@acat8885]

I'm playing on a club team as either a middle blocker or right side hitter. Should I tape my fingers for blocking? I play in the 14s division--I've met a few hard hitters and was encouraged to learn how to tape my fingers. Which technique do you recommend most for my age level if any at all?

[@VolleyCountrycom]

If you meet hard hitters you can think about taping, but taping will is not only the way. Work also on strength of your fingers. Try statis push up on fingers, later do classical push ups. This will help you too 👍

[@acat8885]

I am a Libero and overhand passing or receiving hurts and jams my finger and I don’t know how to tape it or to minimize the pain if anyone got suggestions please reply!

Taping will help you, but do not forget to strenghten your fingers and wrists😉👍

How do I tape my fingers specifically for Liberos? Thank you for the other reply!

What kind of tape are we supposed to used? And where can we get it? :(

You can find sport tapes on Amazon, I have good experience with Strappal tapes.

[@amanipoopy]

Ok, so now you know how to prepare your fingers for volleyball😉

[@skaners8]

I i'm doing volley ball in club but i have a very cracky skin and i want to protect them for cracking only and don't lose sensitivity, have you some tips?

[@VolleyCountrycom]

Tape will help you, but use it modestly. Don’t tape whole fingers for keeping sensitivity.

Okay so I’m 14 years old and I’m a setter for my school team but my fingers are kinda weak especially my pinky should use no tape or which example

If you are setter, taping isn’t ideal for you. I have in my plan videos for improving setter technique and strenghtening fingers.

[@TheShikerWolf]

What do you do if your hands sweat and the tape comes off of the skin?

[@VolleyCountrycom]

If you tape your hands when they are dry, the tape should not come off. At least the quality tape. When your fingers are wet don’ t tape them. When the tape is coming off your fingers try to tape more space on your fingers - whole finger forexample, so it has more support.

[@gufograsso6279]

Can i use normal paper tape or i need to buy this tape

[@VolleyCountrycom]

You can try it with paper tape, but don’t expect good results. You need flexible tape with quality glue.

Strappal👍

[@Lenduya]

The 6-piece technique is very inefficient. You be much quicker and have the same protection if you simply use the roll: 1. roll around the first phalanx 2x 2. cross into the upper phalanx 3. roll around the upper phalanx 2x 4. cross down to the first phalanx

If you are 13, you don’t need to use tape. At this age there is very small chance that you will get hard spike to your fingers at block. That’s my advice 😀 Wait two - three years.
