    Just use "glad wrap". Those used to rewrap yr uncooked meat before u stow in yr fridge.

    I used to use Clingfilm, I think it's the same thing as GladWrap, it does work, but then I couldn't be bothered saving the paint anymore:)

    I wonder if the warranty is voided if the paint/code on the cone is peeled off..

    I used masking tape, with the 'sticky side up' for my towel grip.

    However, pulling out and readjusting is a mess.

    we can.. but for some of us, its more comfortable to wrap it high.. for me, it helps me play serve or net kill much more easier... :D:D:D
    thus, i hate it when i wrap my racket so low.. i have a few of my own reason... but thats just my opinion thought.. :D:D:D:D:D
