Coach,

Hi William,

Each bat is different.  It is best to measure the particular bat you are looking at to make sure you get the right width of tape.

Measure the width of the wood.  It just needs to be between the width of the wood and the width of the total racket.

The side tape needs to be between those two measurements to cover the wood but not go over the edge of the top of the rubber.
