Sabre Taping Tutorial

HELLO!
This is my first taping tutorial for colorguard people who want to know how to tape a sabre! Colorguard is a sport that involves spinning rifles, sabres and flags, and sabre is one of the two main weapons that is spun often. This video just goes over a few tips I use while taping a sabre to use in a performance! If you have any questions, comment down below!
DETAIL: For a 36 inch sabre, the catch tape is 9 1/2 inches away from the tip, on a 39 inch sabre, it's 11 inches away from the tip.

It's amazing how diverse even the little things are in guard. Things like taping methods really make each program special in its own way. Excellent video!

[@PaulScript]

Thanks for watching!

[@skylrshepherd9847]

This helped me so much!! I was randomly handed a sabre today at practice and decided to retape it because I'm really picky about my equipment!

[@PaulScript]

OMG Good luck. Glad I could help.

[@kennedyisabella]

When I was In Colorguard, I loved taping my sabre😊. I miss guard so much ☹️

[@PaulScript]

I know the feeling now :(

I love that he is an active colorguard account 💖💖💖💖. Finally!!!!

[@isaiahv478]

Everything in this video was so thorough and organized! Love it 😂❤️

[@jonathanvieyra8344]

Im my school we only taped the back of the blade and then the balance point and the tip we never taped the catch tape or hilt and I never understood why but I guess my coach like shiny silver glare

[@PaulScript]

Yeah, it's all preference! Honestly, I can't handle throwing a mini disco ball into the air lol :) (it hurts my eyes and I can't bear scratching up my sabre)

[@brandiemolina501]

Love the rope technique, thanks for sharing!

[@breckeneighmy9893]

I've always put my spot tape/black tape where it balances on the finger.

[@politepancake365]

Is it bad to tape the whole handle of the sabre including the hilt? Also I wish they made a silver electrical tape because I want to make it look like there's no tape on the sabre lol! :(

[@brookelynnthomas2625]

politepancake hey idk if this would still help you or not but I know that bandshoppe sells mirror tape www.bandshoppe.com/shop/show-props/flag-pole-rifle-tape/mirror-tape-64301/

To find the balance point pinch it till it's balanced

[@Skye-be7or]

Question my saber came with a plastic cap an the end should I tape over it or take it off

[@JEM8288]

I only tape the belly, the spot, catch and tip.

[@plutotheplanet9975]

[@calebclark7736]

mine is too!! ask your instructor if he knows savannah demao XD she helps instruct East Lincoln HS

[@jerichojames9832]

how do you know what size sabre to get because i have a 36" rifle and i need to get a rifle so would i get a 39" or 36" sabre

[@PaulScript]

its up to you. If you are trying to march independent winterguard or DCI, most likely they'll be spinning 39" so it would be better to get a 39" to get used the feel of it since the tape is a little farther out and the sabre overall is a little longer to spin.

[@jerichojames9832]

Also lastly in DCI do they use 39” rifles

[@PaulScript]

@@jerichojames9832 I recently took a poll from some friends marching with some of the top drum corps, some use 39" rifles, while some also use 37.5"

[@lillianwilson2002]

Question, is the sabre 39 inches from the tip of the blade to the button on the hilt? Or is that just the length of the actual blade part of the sabre?

[@PaulScript]

The first one, tip of the blade to the button on the hilt :)

[@lillianwilson2002]

@@PaulScript Okay, thank you!!! :)
