Protection Tape that won't take off paint!

[acer]

Does anyone have any suggestions of what type of protection tape can be used that does not take off paint? I have tried Electrical tape (for it's low weight) and Head Protection Tape and they both seem to have the ability to take off paint. I currently use the new ProKennex Ionic Racquet. Electrical tape took the paint off my Prokennex 5G. I don't really want to add additional weight.

Any suggestions helpful!

Thanks

I use some Gamma stuff (comes in black and grey) and it's never taken any paint off.

Protection Tape

I use Babolat Supertape. I have never experienced any paint flaking off my racquets. It may add a bit of weight, but not as much as the regular Babolat head tape or Gamma tape. Hope this helps.

I use Gamma guard tape, 1 inch wide. It doesn't take off paint, just leaves some glue residue behind.

thats what i use too. looks like a wide roll of scotch tape, and works great.

Gamma tape works great. I also have have some Babolat tape too.

the only drawback about gamme guard is that after u first apply it, it will still loosen from time to time. After a good 2-3 days it will eventualyl stick to the bumper well tho.

Hi all, bit of an old thread but hopefully someone will see this. I've recently bought a Prince Beast 98 o3 & Tour 100p. The Beast I've noticed has a clear lacquer/paint that's flaking in a small area of the head where I'd applied some electrical tape to try and protect from bumps/scratches. My responsibility for not checking beforehand, but has anybody used any protection tape successfully on Prince rackets without causing the clear paint to flake? Thanks

1" wide fabric hockey tape. Doesn't take off paint, cheaper and protects better.

Ditto, but I always get my wife or daughter to pay for them to avoid the strange looks

-yeah,, know what you mean

Yeah, even when you tell the cashier it's for a tennis racquet, they still give you a strange look!
