TAPING YOUR FINGERS
This quick tip is for hitters that practice so often that their fingernails break away from the finger causing bleeding and pain! Personally, I had to tape my fingers to keep this from happening in college. I went through MANY ways of taping before I figured out the right way. So, I offer the form that I painfully learned.
First, take a piece of tape about 3 inches long and place one end where your fingerprint is. Bring it over your nail pulling tightly and press tape down on your fingernail (this acts like a butterfly stitch). Then, take a piece of tape about 3 inches long and tape AROUND your finger, to keep the tape in place.
After this is done correctly, it should keep your fingers from bleeding. Be very careful taking them off... you'll see why!
Play hard!
