YoYo Tape
| Here is a little overview about tape which you can use for yo-yo play. Tape helps to protect your fingers from injury. Normally you get a thicker skin (callus) by playing often. This is a natural protection which comes by time. If you want to play a longer session, then you should protect in advance. Otherwise you may have an enforced break from play, due to open skin. Do not put the tape too tight, the blood should still be able to flow into your fingertips. |  |
