Taping your legs for lineout jumping

Woofer · 2009-04-20 12:54:22

I jump in the lineout and like most other players who do, I tape my legs to give the lifters more of a grip. But you see pro's that have some kind of extra padding at the front of the taping. Does anyone know what this is? What do they use? and How do you "make" it?

Otherwise most use some sort of foam padding, although I did see one guy using a sock.

To give us a competitive edge, we've been using one of these for our lineouts
