well, i havent tried in a game yet ..... doing it tonight.
btw, 3m electrical tape cant stick as well as i expected
but it didnt leave glue when u take it off

sifuyono, where can i find the babolat tape?
well, i domicile in malang
the sporting goods shop doesnt really have much to offer.
any shop recommendation in your city?

Does the brand matters so much??I don't think so..as long as it works as it was meant to be..i mean,protecting our babies from scratching..n maybe add some lil weight on the head..

nope, the brand doesnt realli matter, but quality does.
i found that 3M is better than that local unibell brand in terms of stickiness.
however i dun feel significant weight in the head with just 1 layer.
the important thing is that it does protect the head from the way we are picking up our feather with the racket.
i do hope that i also can protect the head when rackets clash in double play.

sifuyono, i thought u already tried the babolat tape.
but i'll stick to 3M and also reccomend it since branded n specifically made tape for racket head protection arent widely available for us imo.
