Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes MaxX rigid tape the best on the NZ market?

A: USL Sport MaxX uses premium zinc oxide adhesive compound and higher-quality backing fabric compared to standard economy rigid tapes. This results in superior adhesion to skin (particularly in sweaty conditions), greater tape rigidity for more effective joint immobilisation, and longer-lasting adhesion throughout extended competition periods. These differences are most noticeable in high-intensity elite sport environments.

Q: Is a single roll of MaxX 38mm better value than the drum packs?

A: Single rolls are ideal for trying the product, for individual athletes, or for clinic situations where only occasional use is needed. For high-volume clinic and team use, the 8-drum and 30-box bulk formats offer significantly better per-roll value. The single roll is an excellent starting point before committing to a bulk purchase.

Q: How many ankle strapping applications do I get from one MaxX roll?

A: A single 13.7m roll of 38mm MaxX rigid tape provides approximately 2–3 complete preventive ankle strapping applications, or 1–2 therapeutic post-injury strapping applications (which typically use more tape). For players who strap both ankles, one roll provides enough for 1–1.5 complete bilateral ankle strapping sessions.

Q: Can MaxX rigid tape be used for buddy strapping fingers?

A: While MaxX 38mm can technically be used for finger applications, it is wider than ideal for this purpose. The 25mm MaxX or 12mm MaxX widths are more appropriate for finger and toe strapping. Using the correct width ensures better tape economy and a neater, more comfortable application for small joint strapping.
