cole turner,

I personally use electrical tape now. slightly matt electrical tape works great for me.

Don't use the tape that comes with the grip. It sucks a**. Buy some standart black tape that will stretch a little and you should be all set.

yeh I used the tape provided and it was total pants, so I stole some of daddys electric tape and it worked wonders, I sliced it so it was half the thickness which helps with the weird edges....
