Just from my research it's $5.99 for Howie's hockey grip tape for a 10 yard roll. For goon tape it is $7.99 for a 20 yard roll. So if I'm doing this right, it's actually a bigger bang for your buck for goon tape. I'm not knocking any company or taking up for any company, just did some research. I could be totally off. I have clammy hands so something is better than nothing at all.
Update, I found out about Howie's Hockey Tape specifically their Pro Grip Tape. Best grips for me so far. It sticks to itself, almost too well. Helpful tip, once done wrapping whatever, fold over the end but don't press it down. Hopefully that'll help. Goon tape isn't bad, hockey tape isn't bad, it's all personal preference. I agree with the sweaty hands needing more. I just have dealt with granulated tape and rubber and this Howie's pro grip hockey tape is best for me.
@@Constitutionalist1791 I know this is 9 months later, but what do you mean by fold over the end but don't press down? Like the end of the tape you fold over on itself creating a tag end? Or? I'm confused by that statement.
Definitely some marketing price raising here but I don’t think Goon tape is being dishonest here. Hockey tape is known to be grippy so adding it to firearms makes sense. Goon tape took a word, Goon, that is used in both the gun world and the hockey world and ran with it. There logo is the old NHL logo. Easy to see their route here. Hockey tape is certainly cheaper but Goon Tape is a cool company to support, I’ll throw them the couple extra bucks.
it is hocket tape, literally. They even have the nhl logo on it. My guess is, and this is just a guess, they are buying overruns of tape produced for nhl gift shops or whatever and having the word "goon" branded in the center of the nhl logo. They are likely not able to buy enough since the big box stores (Dicks, Big 5, etc..) buy in large quantities so they have to wait and purchase whatever they can, which is likely why they are always sold out.
I remember when using for grip tape on my hockey stick. We used to take a long strip and twist it like a lil rope and wrap like a candy cane gone up or down the stick. Then wrapping the twisted rope with tape. To create grip. Now hockey tape is usually used with leather gloves. So this also maybe different. Not sure if that helps. But in the hockey world, it’s all the difference.
Hockey tape hasn’t been slick in my experience. It makes it a bit more squishy so it helps me grip the gun harder without as much fatigue. Talon grip wears down and eats away at my palm area on my hand and leaves dead skin on the grip tape. Thanks for the comparison
Get THICK bike inner tube, put it over grip, then put on hockey tape. It's the 2nd best grip ever! (first is doing dremel and JB weld steel stick work, then do above)
How long did you use it? Because ive seen long term reviews that saw hockey tape will fray much quicker and also the adhesive will stick to the gun and make a mess. Its also thicker
I learned that gun cleaning solvent can basically melt the adhesive. Took a while to clean my grip after I got the tape off. Had to use a green scrubbie to get it off my hands after. It didn't improve or worsen my grip on the gun when I wrapped the grip.
The only advantage I think is the color selection of goon tape, if ur gonna go the rout of hockey tape. But I think it’s better for wrapping cable and support grip area.
Just ordered goon tape and remembered I still had a roll of self fusing silicone tape after ordering. The silicone feels amazing and there is no adhesive on it def give it a try if you are experimenting with tapes.
Just ordered tennis racket wrap.. I have sweaty hands from time to time I think the rubber grip will make it last longer the the hockey tape but should have that look.. I’ll let you all know how it works
How’d it work out? I was also thinking about using the tennis wrap but was afraid that it might make my grip frame too bulky bc you got to overlap the grips to make it work right.
So i got the mr920 and i like the grip but i appendix carry and when i dont have an undershirt the grip scratches the hell out my stomach. Would the cloth tape help with that without me loosing having a good grip on the gun if i put tape around the grip ?
Start wearing an undershirt tucked in until your skin is used to having the abrasion against it. Eventually your skin will toughen up and be able to carry without the undershirt. I have zero issues from my shadow system guns against skin. And they are up against my body all day at work.
I once ordered from them never got any order details besides the receipt , tried getting in contact but they kept on ignoring me so decided to skip them
I have two kids that play hockey 9 months out of the year. Cases of tape are in and out of the house at about $3 a roll. Howies also sells wide for $5.
Actual prices for Howies hockey tape (1.5" x 15y) 3-pack $4.25 per roll and the Pro tape (1.5" x 10yd) 4-pack $4.75 per roll, so the standard Howies tape is a better deal than the Goon Tape at $10 for 20y roll!
I just ordered some goon tape to see what all the hype is from them. I’m always open to try different things and experience it myself. It’s all trial and error, the way I see it. But if you’re complaining about it being $8 and it being only a couple of bucks more than other products, then I’d say you have bigger problems lol
@@savagenez9584 it’s feels pretty good. It’s sorta slick when your hands are cold but when it’s hot and your hands are sweaty, it really helps you get a grip on it.
I bought Goon Tape purely to support the awesome content and videos they put out! Didn’t even get it to use it, after receiving my order it definitely is very similar to hockey tape. As I said though I got it to support them!
@@cannaventureseeds2909 I mean people subscribe and pay for onlyfans and countless other crap. Same same but different, check out the content finance and maneuver puts out with goon tape it is very well done and entertaining!
Haven’t used it but it looks just like cloth hockey tape. So if the cloth tape is what you like than do it. Just don’t waste money on good tape haha. I don’t like the cloth tape though.
Goin Tape is a 2nd Amendment supporter , 20 yards a roll which is double of the hockey tape . do some research first . Goin tape is actually next best after Talon Grips .
@@tegridytactical Ok Thanks I just got mine in the mail couple days ago, but had to work. So haven't tried it out yet It feels grippy though and like your hands will stick to it, not let anything slip I ordered some stuff from Goon Tape and after seeing this video. They advertise like the tape was their idea.
Also, your frame and slide look darker than all the 19x photos. Just curious is this like an older gen? I really want that darker brown 19x but all the photos of them online look so dark and I can’t tell if it’s a different lighting or if it’s a different color.
It’s a Gen 5. Im honestly not sure about the color. Some are made in USA and some in Austria. Maybe there is a slight color variation depending on where it’s made? Im not sure. Just a guess.
@@MrKaNuke what do you mean about the grip? You can remove the loop. There is a little hole on the bottom back of the grip. Just push it out and pull it out of the bottom.
@@tegridytactical oh I didn’t realize the lanyard loop came off without removing it with some more aggressive manner. It’s a really nice set up. Assuming you EDC it, would love to see a video on your rig.
@@tegridytacticalhe’s right my Glock 19x was made it Austria and has the darker peanut butter look where the new ones are like a lighter Carmel. I absolutely love having the darker version but it could also be just an updated paint they’re using
Dude you know what you should try? tennis racket handle grip (made outta urethane, very durable), it's like 2 bucks per and it should suffice for at least three times if you use it like you did with your Glock or once for a big revolver (what I did). Its texture is hard to describe...kinda feels like chamois and it's quite grippy and the best part is the wetter it gets the more it grips because you _really_ don't want to send a racket flying off. also they usually only have a smidge of glue in the tip you use to avoid slipping when you apply it. I used Yonex Super Grap and they come in a bunch of different colors if that's your thing too and there's different kinds but they all cost around the same. Trying them out wouldn't kill the bank but i'd go for the same one I got (which is also the gold standard for most players too apparently) not too thick but enough to give some cushion and it conforms to round shapes pretty well but it will still keep "learning" the shape of your had for some time until it sets. kinda surprised this isn't much of a thing.
One thing it's 100 useful for, interchangeable backstraps. Had the palm swell large backstrap come loose on my duty issue FN 509. Not much other than a Kaboom is as unwelcomed than your grip coming apart during live fire, especially on a run and gun combat course.
I don't get how everyone states that goon tape provides traction. It's not very tactile, way too smooth for trying to add grip to anything on a gun. I guess some think it looks cool, but that's about it. For gripping, its a waste of money.
Have you tried handling a firearm with hockey tape? It’s amazingly tacky when you’re using it and stale and just feels like normal athletic tape when you’re not using it. It doesn’t collect dirt and stuff which also helps. It’s even tackier when it gets wet. Anyone who says it isn’t good for traction is full of it and probably has never actually used it. Not that its for everyone, but the specific statement that it’s slick is straight bull.
A lot of people are misunderstanding what it’s supposed to used for. It’s tape to be put ON grips for either comfort or a fuller and softer grip for firearms with hard and basic straight grips. It is not supposed to improve grip texture or anything of the sort. It’s described to be used to either improve comfortability or protect certain parts of a tactical firearm from abrasions or for corners and sharp edges of a firearm TO NOT CATCH ON OTHER MATERIAL WHICH IS TJE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF A SOFT TACTICAL TAPE. Every video creator or comment reviewer calling this a gimmick or a marketing guise does not know enough about weapons tactics and weapon care.
goontape is very much like hockey tape but not as sticky and softer on the hand its quite comfterble. if u prefer a rougher texture with grit than it wont be for you.
I like Goon Tape, they could use a new name. The word “Goon” is just a cringey over used word now but I’ve had no issues with it. Just seems like you save a couple bucks using the hockey tape. I work at a range and one of the RSOs uses skateboard grip tape. He says that it keeps a solid grip if you end up getting blood on your hands (which if you carry could end up happening at some point). Always down to experiment with new things. Thanks for the video man.
Its more about supporting a 2nd Amendment company. It doesn’t make sense to worry about a couple bucks on a $600+ gun with $150 light and a $350 red dot. But if you are worried about the 2 bucks go buy cheap hockey tape. I don’t think there is a need to make a video saying they are a rip off. Support those who support 2A.
That’s fine. A lot of people found it helpful and some didn’t. Some people care and some don’t. If it helped someone decide, awesome. If it didn’t, I don’t care. I did the video just because I didn’t see the answers I was looking for on the product myself. Just a bunch of biased reviews. People have been claiming this tape is better than cloth hockey tape for years. When in fact it is the exact same. Which is another reason I did the video. As far as supporting the 2A, I see the point you’re trying to make, but goon tape isn’t making this tape. So regardless, you’re still buying it from and supporting a hockey tape manufacturer.
Blindly supporting any business based on factors outside their objective value is just mouth breather behavior. Do you even capitalism guy?! By your logic we’d all have nothing but hi-points 😂😢😂😢 the lack of critical thinking in America is so discouraging
Id rather support a company I know is pro 2 A than a company that may use my money to go towards anti gun causes. Even if goon tape is the same as hockey tape atleast I know Im giving money to guys that supoort our freedoms.
Well…who do you think is making the hockey tape? A hockey tape company…from the looks of it, howies is making it most likely. So either way your money is going there.
Based!!! Spot calling out these companies ripping 2a ppl off. Goon tape and Black Rifle Coffee are ass. Good to see you do have some tegridy 😂 south park love it
Over the last few weeks I have been testing every grip that is out there. Goon tape is the best. Those that are saying it is the same as hockey tape are doing that based on their eyes alone and haven't actually field tested it. I have purchased Howie's hockey tape, howie's pro hockey tape, and howie's stretch hockey tape. Goon tape is closest to the Howie's original hockey tape but a simple dish soap test on the grips reveal that Goon tape provides much better traction. I'm not sure if it's the perfect solution, but it is defenitely superior to hockey tape. And so far after 2 weeks of EDC, it has not tried to peel off at all yet.
They also don’t say it’s hockey tape. And if you weren’t into hockey you wouldn’t know any better that the logo is hockey related. They advertise with it wrapped around AK’s, AR’s, pistols and mags. It’s a great advertising move for them! I’m just here to tell gun folk that they are getting ripped off.
I prefer the guys over a goon we all know it's hockey tape, but I'd rather support the 2A bros over the hockey bros any day, their marketing and photography fuck too
I personally don't like goon tape, because the stick stuff will work its way to the outside of the tape and the gripping surface will get tacky and nasty to hold.
Sure why not! Anything is better than paying double for cloth hockey tape. So try it out. The point of the video was just to show that goon tape is a rip off and their are much better and cheaper options.
Just from my research it's $5.99 for Howie's hockey grip tape for a 10 yard roll. For goon tape it is $7.99 for a 20 yard roll.

Blindly supporting any business based on factors outside their objective value is just mouth breather behavior. Do you even capitalism guy?! By your logic we’d all have nothing but hi-points 😂😢😂😢 the lack of critical thinking in America is so discouraging
@@instupitiousi'm glad someone said it 😅
I bought some because they had olive down color, but in kinda assumed that it was regular sports tape
the grip tape may roll up, one may want to tape the ends with the cloth tape
Id rather support a company I know is pro 2 A than a company that may use my money to go towards anti gun causes. Even if goon tape is the same as hockey tape atleast I know Im giving money to guys that supoort our freedoms.
Well…who do you think is making the hockey tape? A hockey tape company…from the looks of it, howies is making it most likely. So either way your money is going there.
Wish I had seen this video before spending the dough on Goon tape.
Based!!! Spot calling out these companies ripping 2a ppl off. Goon tape and Black Rifle Coffee are ass. Good to see you do have some tegridy 😂 south park love it
Im not a big fan of stippling pistol grips, l'll give this a try.
Just get a hogue grip thank me later
Over the last few weeks I have been testing every grip that is out there. Goon tape is the best. Those that are saying it is the same as hockey tape are doing that based on their eyes alone and haven't actually field tested it. I have purchased Howie's hockey tape, howie's pro hockey tape, and howie's stretch hockey tape. Goon tape is closest to the Howie's original hockey tape but a simple dish soap test on the grips reveal that Goon tape provides much better traction. I'm not sure if it's the perfect solution, but it is defenitely superior to hockey tape. And so far after 2 weeks of EDC, it has not tried to peel off at all yet.
They don't hide the fact it's hockey related with the logo.
They also don’t say it’s hockey tape. And if you weren’t into hockey you wouldn’t know any better that the logo is hockey related. They advertise with it wrapped around AK’s, AR’s, pistols and mags. It’s a great advertising move for them! I’m just here to tell gun folk that they are getting ripped off.
Damn I just bought the bonus pack like 2 days ago. . . 😭 lmfaooo well fuck it I’ll be back with an update if I remember which video this is on.
Thoughts?
I use talon and a lil bit of tape over it
Thank you for saving me a bunch of time and money.
Russian izolenta tape is my favorite to use for cable management on my rifle, I recommend buying talon grips
Man I gave up on talon. Grip lasts a few months and it’s not a big difference. Plus 20$ for a grip to lasts a few months isn’t reasonable
The dollar tree sells this same tape 😂😂😂
I prefer the guys over a goon we all know it's hockey tape, but I'd rather support the 2A bros over the hockey bros any day, their marketing and photography fuck too
Seeing as they bought it from the hockey bros and upcharged ya', don't worry, you're supporting both.
No bullshit, thank you.
You bet!
the amazon 1 is coban
I personally don't like goon tape, because the stick stuff will work its way to the outside of the tape and the gripping surface will get tacky and nasty to hold.
You should link to the tape you like and put an affiliate link so you can get some extra $$$ from it.
The shit you wrap around tattoo guns work good too
I’m glad I’m bought the hockey one this shxt is crazy 😂😂
i personally use skateboard grip tape. your hands never slip ever and the adhesion to the gun is unmatched!!
Goon tape comes with a cool sticker though!
TH-cam Suggested this video to me and had to check it out
I have sweaty hands and it does help with that.
Just get skate board tape for the slide n stuff like that but get talon grip for the rest it’s the best goon tape is 🗑️
You remind me of young jamie from the JRE
u mean something literally named "goon" tape isnt hockey tape..... who knew
What about baseball bat tape?
Sure why not! Anything is better than paying double for cloth hockey tape. So try it out. The point of the video was just to show that goon tape is a rip off and their are much better and cheaper options.
