So i keep getting blisters on the top part of my palms near my fingers. As soon as i get them i tape them up so i can finish practice, now that works fine but it gets kinda tedious after awhile and the blisters are usually in a spot that is really hard to tape. I've tried spray-on New-skin(?), it works... for only a few jumps then starts to peel off and take some skin with it and I've tried this stuff i got from my running store(its little 1in x 1in pads of the stuff used on burn victims and an adhesive cloth), it was k but i still had to use tape over top of it. anyone got any advice of recommendations?
P.S. I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to put this in

Re: Blisters
use a racquetball glove. they grip well and will allow your hand to heal. I use them every once in awhile. but remember, you can not use them in competition if you are in high school.

Re: Blisters
I have the same problem. About once a week, usually Sunday nights, I put a thin layer of super glue over the spots that receive the most wear. Problem 100% solved.
