Forehand grip and grip tape damage, am I doing something wrong?

Every single one of my grip tapes starts to show wear and tear in the exact same spot, it becomes bad especially after a session with a lot of smashing. It’s where my thumb contacts the tape on my forehand grip. I’ll note that the skin on my thumb in contact is fine, no blisters developing.

This happens with various grip tapes across various brands, even “durability” type grip tapes. It’s not so bad that I feel like I’m burning money constantly replacing the grip tape, they still last multiple sessions.

I’m curious if anyone else has this problem.

Could this be indicative of bad form or grip?
