Racket Re-Gripping "Band" What's it called?

[Timbuk2]

I'm about to re grip a squash racket and they usually give you a little bit of tape that holds the top of the grip in place.

On my tennis racket there is a rubber "band" that kind of goes over the tape and neatens it up somewhat.

Being the fussy person I am, I would like to get one for my squash racket but cannot find them anywhere online!

Anyone know what they're called or where I can get them please (Wilson)?

Obviously I will be doing it more neatly than the one in the photo!

Silicone tape?

Would like Wilson branded ones if possible!

Not really tape though it's a specific band but thanks!

Just to clarify it's only the 1cm think black rubber band that is in the centre of the picture

Ah, sorry. Misunderstood.

black electrical tape, you just can't beat it. The rubber bands always seem to move around and the stock tape you get is pants.

On a side note I always triple grip my squash racquets now with stock under a cushioned grip then a white Wilson over grip on the top. the wilsons are as cheap as you like so I replace after 2 or 3 matches. The larger grip also seems to help my elbow (along with lower tension strings)

Yep obviously will need tape too, but the band will just add a more "finished" look - sorry - I'm a little OCD about that sort of thing lol!

Tennis grip band/finishing band.

They used to be included with all Wilson replacement grips (not overgrips). Not any more it would seem.

I'd call a UK tennis racquet specialist as they will very likely have a few lying around. Maybe buy something from them and ask if they can include it in the purchase?

Alternatively, Unique still make and sell them. http://www.amazon.com/Tennis-Grip-Bands-Unique-Spo...

Thanks, those Wilson ones are what I'm looking for! (Link is also helpful)

May have to put up with the Unique ones though if Wilson don't tell me where I can get some from
