I bought this stuff over my usual Wilson tape as lots of people on this forum and beyond were singing its praise. I just tried putting some on my Dunlop and I'm pretty disappointed...
For starters, it's way too thick for my liking. It's less like tape than strips of rubber, which makes it pretty annoying to work with.
But my biggest gripe is the lack of stickiness. The first strip lost all adhesiveness entirely, just from touching my fingers. The 2nd strip I made sure not to touch on the sticky side, but it still moved around as soon as it went on, and subsequently fell off. I've given up on even trying to make it work, the stuff is useless.
I just can't understand how something that so many people recommend could perform so badly for me. I've previously tried Wilson tape and some non-branded stuff (possibly Tourna) and both are 100x better than this. Is it possible that I just have a bad batch, or do others find the same issues?
