Hey dbernie41
I have the Dunlop Adrenalin Surge and the lead tape did take off the paint. I actually use electrical tape and tape the lead tape in place w/o taking the backing of the lead tape off. Can I ask you a question? Do you have any elbow or shoulder problems with the Surge racquet? It aggravates my golfers eblow. Some people commented that this racquet is not a safe elbow & shoulder racquet. Let me know?
Thanks
