It's not really a problem with cloth tape, it dries so tight to the bar. I wrap cork tape from the drops to the center, but cloth center out. That's the old school way of doing it, so far no problems with it.

Under the natural pressure of your hands on the bars, they tend to slide out...so, if you wrap from the center out (like that ^), Wouldn't your hands have the tendency to peel up and curl the egdes of the tape on the top? Here's how I wrapped mine, from the outside in.
The wrap job isn't anywhere near as nice, and I know its a ****ty pic of the tape...I can't take a better one, but you get the idea. Wrapped like this, the tape stays good and stuck.
