In grip installation, grip tape is considered one buildup wrap.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not applicable
• D. Not sure

Answer: (A)

Understanding grip installation means recognizing that grip tape and any buildup wraps serve different roles. Grip tape is the double‑sided adhesive layer applied to the shaft so the grip can slide on and stay secure. It is not itself a tool to change the shaft’s diameter. A buildup wrap, on the other hand, is a separate layer added to increase the grip area’s circumference when a larger grip size is desired. It is used independently of the grip tape. So, grip tape is not considered one buildup wrap. If a buildup is needed, it’s a separate addition, with the grip tape applied afterward to secure the grip.
