The tape may be there for both - feel and protection - when I switched to a 'gap' and a hitter's motion I gave my 'thumbprint' a very good workout indeed. I do not use a glove however, with cord grips.

The 'gap' approach is something you must try if you have not already done so. Study 10-2-B.

Feel your hands are 'facing' each other, as in gripping a ruler (get a ruler and try it). They should be turned slightly however, up to approx 45 degrees.

Use an overlap - but as Lynn pointed out previously - do not overlap in the 'groove', but just on 'top' of the index finger of the left hand. Combined with the 'gap', this little change really, really solidifies the wedges. You can't help but feel them, given proper extensor action.
