Wrap Right, Every Time

How to apply

  • Prep the area: Clean, dry skin; remove oils, sweat, or lotions.
  • Anchor + wrap: Start with a light anchor, then wrap or lay the tape in smooth, even lines with controlled tension.
  • Follow the shape: Move along the muscle or joint in the direction of support, avoiding wrinkles or gaps.
  • Secure the finish: End with a firm but comfortable anchor; check circulation and adjust if too tight.

Once it’s on, you’re supported, secure, and ready to move with confidence

Why Racket Sport Players Choose Locked In

Trusted by tennis, padel, badminton, squash, and pickleball players across the UK. Our support tapes and wraps are designed for movement, stability, recovery, and performance during training and matches.

Racket‑Ready Support, Explained:

Clear answers to help you tape smarter, play stronger, and stay in the game.

You get three performance‑driven tapes:

  • Cohesive Bandage for quick compression, grip fixes, and securing gear.
  • Zinc‑Oxide Tape for firm joint and finger protection during high‑impact play.
  • K‑Tape for muscle support that enhances mobility and reduces fatigue.

Players across tennis, badminton, squash, and paddle who want better stability, reduced strain, and more confidence in long rallies, fast changes of direction, and repetitive swing patterns.

Common racket‑sport zones include:

  • Wrists for stability during heavy topspin or repeated smashes.
  • Fingers for grip protection and preventing overextension.
  • Elbows & forearms to support tendons and reduce strain (great for tennis elbow).
  • Shoulders for overhead shots and serving mechanics.
  • Ankles for quick lateral movement and sudden stops.

Yes - each tape serves a different purpose.

  • Use Zinc‑Oxide for rigid joint support.
  • Use K‑Tape for muscle activation and mobility.
  • Use Cohesive for quick fixes, compression, or securing pads/grips.


They complement each other without interfering.

Definitely. It’s built for:

  • Training sessions where volume and repetition cause fatigue.
  • Match days where stability and confidence matter most.
  • Recovery days when you need light support or swelling control.

No - when applied correctly, they support movement without restricting technique.

  • Zinc‑Oxide stabilises without bulk.
  • K‑Tape moves naturally with your muscles.
  • Cohesive can even improve grip security when used on handles.
  • Zinc‑Oxide: Strong, long‑lasting hold even with sweat.
  • K‑Tape: Designed for extended wear; stays on through long sessions.
  • Cohesive: Ideal for quick adjustments; can be reapplied mid‑match if needed.

Absolutely. The tapes follow a simple prep → anchor → wrap method, and each product is forgiving enough for first‑time users while still delivering pro‑level performance.

Yes.

  • Zinc‑Oxide grips hard through sweat and friction.
  • K‑Tape is water‑resistant and built for movement.
  • Cohesive sticks to itself, so sweat doesn’t affect its hold

It can support and protect areas commonly affected by:

  • Tennis elbow
  • Wrist strain
  • Finger irritation
  • Shoulder fatigue
  • Ankle instability

It’s not a medical treatment, but it helps reduce stress on vulnerable areas.
