    I was fooling around with a curve ruler(also known as a graph ruler or flexible ruler) and I accidentally took the soft metal thing out. It's sort of like a aluminium tape(I'm pretty sure it's heavier). Anyway, I'm not sure what it's called, but I'm thinking of using it as lead tape(tape it to the top of my racket).

    What do you guys think?

    P.s: I'll try to make it clearer and hopefully take some pictures too. Gotta go out for awhile.

    The curve ruler is made of the same material as the lead strips.

    But... to attached them onto the racket head is hazardous; it is too heavy and will detach and hit your opponents. The lead strips are made wil thin strips which even if it were to detached, will not hurt anyone. Due to its light weight, it can be sticked onto the frame very firmly.

    Thanks.

    Great idea. Protects the frame from scratches as well!
