I have heard that Moe used hockey tape? Does anyone know if this is true? Is it legal to do so? Any recommendations/ suggestions will be much appreciated.

The rules don't prohibit adding tape as far as I can see, I believe this is in Appendix C of the rule book. It does say they have to be circular in shape, with no buldge or "waist". I added tape to the outside of my grips when experimenting to find the size that worked best for me, but I used the stretchy gauze-like tape designed for tennis grips. It's easy to apply and has a nice tacky feel. I think most then install their grips using a specific number of layers of masking or grip tape underneath the grip. For me that works out to 4 wraps of tape under the trail hand and one under the lead hand (including the final layer of grip tape).

Moe used to us hockey tape for the grip of his clubs (quite a few years ago). Later in his life, he used standard grips with a small amount of tape wrapped under the grip (same as anyone would built up a grip). Moe's grip size was equivalent to a standard grip with 2 extra wraps under the grip.

You can see the grip size / his grip at: http://swinglikemoe.com/index.php?customernumber=61800441897534&pr=Online_Instruction&curPhoto=0&curAlbum=Grip%20Comparison

The picture is actually hockey tape - one of his older clubs -

FYI - we have some of Moe's clubs in our academy/schools - our students love hitting them and feeling exactly what the club/grip, etc.. felt like when Moe hit it....

Was funny - a couple of schools ago, put Moe's clubs in the hand of one of our students - said "try this club" - he hit it, looked at the club and said "what is this". Told him was one of Moe's clubs he had played with in competition - Student turned toward me and said "that was sacreligious" to hit Moe's club with his swing..... funny....
