I have a Trek Speed Concept and am recently noticing that my grip/control is pretty terrible when I'm using the brakes on the basebars. I just moved from a high/near stem to a high/far, and re-taped the bars with Bontrager tape (relatively thin), and since then I've really noticed this feeling that when braking or descending on the basebars I have to put a death grip on them (really squeezing the ends) or I feel like I'm going to slip off or go over the top. My fingers are basically jamming into the brakes and it's overall just not a confidence inspiring feeling. I'm a tall/lanky guy running a relatively large drop from the saddle which surely doesn't help. It's bad enough that I'm worried that if I have really sweaty hands, I could potentially lose my grip on the bars if I hit a bump or something. Obviously I don't want to be worried about my grip here when doing descents and the like, so does anyone have any recommendations? I basically want some sort of "stopper" on the end of the basebar to keep my hands from slipping forward. Some ideas I had:

- Use super thick/sticky tape on the basebars
- Use an "extra" layer of tape over the regular tape on the end of the basebars only
- Use some sort of skateboard tape or gritty tape, maybe just on the end
- Use gloves, maybe in combination with the above
