I've tried most major brands and this stuff is dreadful. The adhesive is rubbish and it threads from the first day of the application. It would only stay on for about 2 days.

Rocktape was the best for me in the same price bracket.

If you like Rocktape, try Skinetex (www.skinetex.com). It's just as good, yet uses 3% spandex instead of 3% nylon which helps with people with sensitive skin. There's a 50% off grand launch right now but expires Nov. 10! Also, you'd be supporting an international badminton player, me! Thanks!

If you're in the UK, the best tape I've used is by a company called Sport Tape. It's great quality material and and the adhesive is very good.

I've used unbranded tape, Kinesio Gold, Rocktape, Rocktape H20 and KT Tape and this stuff is better than all except the H20 and it's £5 per roll cheaper try it here http://mbsy.co/SPORTTAPEuk/44451

I just bought 5 rolls off of the website - looking forward to using the stuff! I suffer from plantar fasciitis and some shoulder issues so hopefully with proper application it will help aid in prevention / recovery!

I have been using the Original Kinesio Tape by Dr. Kenzo, which is "Kinesio Tex Gold" for 2 years.I apply the full knee support taping method. It really helps me with my knee aches. I usually wear it for 2-3 days. It feels much more comfortable especially over long period of time as compared to the knee guard/brace.Tried Rock Tape, it is too rigid. Lack of flexibility. More like the rigid tape type of thing.Tried KT tape, more happy with the adhesive. Comes off very easily.Still prefer the original.

I use kinesio tape for my lower back and for my knee on tournaments as well.
I'm using kintex tape from kintex.de (German page). It's not that expensive but it has very good characteristics.
The disadvantage is, that I have to shave my right knee for the tape and if I don't wear the tape, it looks really stupid
