Original listing information — historical reference
Looking to buy hook-grip tape? WOD Fever is not currently selling this product. Compare current listings before choosing pre-cut thumb strips or a roll.
- Pre-cut strips: check strip width, length and count; they offer a consistent piece without cutting each time.
- Rolls: check width, total length and whether the tape is intended for weightlifting thumbs. Cut-to-length formats let you adjust the amount used.
Do not assume an alternative has the same dimensions or stretch as RockTape HookGrip. Check the exact listing and seller before ordering.
For a broader comparison of widths, stretch and adhesive formats, see our guide to choosing hook grip tape.

What is Hook Grip?
In a hook grip, the fingers close over the thumb around the bar. Tape is an optional layer on the thumb; it does not establish a change in lifting power.
Wrap your thumb around the bar, then close your index and middle fingers over it.
What is HookGrip tape?
HookGrip is intended as thumb coverage for weightlifting. Stretch, adhesive, wrapping and fit affect its feel; using tape does not guarantee a stronger grip or prevent skin injury.
It's made out of material similar to athletic tape and RockTape kinesiology tape.
What are the Benefits of HookGrip Tape?
Before competing, check your event’s current thumb-taping rules, including any restrictions on coverage or exposed fingertips. A manufacturer’s general competition claim does not establish eligibility at every event.
Compare the tape’s coverage and feel with your own technique. Do not treat a manufacturer’s grip or protection claim as a measured result for every lifter.
Features
- 5cm (2”) wide; check and adjust coverage for your thumb
- 32 strips: 16 sessions only if using two strips per session; actual use varies
- No hassle, pre-cut 150mm/6” strips for quick and easy application
Compare usable tape, not just roll price
For a roll, compare width and total length. For pre-cut tape, compare width, strip length and count. The 32-strip package provides 16 sessions only at two strips per session; extra wraps or replacement pieces change that arithmetic. A generic roll with a similar appearance may have different stretch or adhesive and should not be assumed equivalent.
Confirm package format, materials and seller terms before ordering. The Amazon searches above may return different formats or brands; inspect the selected listing rather than assuming the first result matches this original package.
