Hi Azam,
For this type of taping, we use a 38mm rigid sports tape. It is usually brown or white, but we used the coloured tape in the demonstration to help make it clearer. Thanks for your question!

When to do a standard ankle taping vs a basketwieve taping?

[@grandstandclinic]

Hi Simar, the choice is made based on the level of support you require. If you have an athlete returning from injury into a high demand, change of direction sport you might choose the Basketweave for added security. Also if you have a very large player, ie rugby player or basketballer, you might choose the basketweave because of the greater forces generated.
