Sorry I know this will probably be a "dumb newbie trying to say stuff to people who know it all already" style topic, but it might be useful to someone.
I've managed to pick up a new and exciting A2 pulley injury recently, and have found one method of taping to be a lot better than the standard "tape around the lowest finger section method".
Basically the "full" method going up around the second finger section too: Wind once around the lowest section, cross diagonally along the side of the finger to the second section, wind once around there, cross diagonally along the other side of the finger and then wind twice round the lowest section.
I've found that holds the finger much more rigid, prevents crimping, and offers a lot more support than the basic method - recently I was getting a fair bit of pain with the basic method, but have pulled harder and got a lot less pain using the full method.
Just a thought :wink:
