Cub, I agree with you on the GS tape.   As far as I'm concerned that is the only thing worth wild that they do sell.   My problems with the other tape was it just wouldn't stick to the shaft w/out really cleaning the area I was going to use with acetone, & I don't like using a lot of acetone on graphite.

John,

(Q) Any reason that a person would use a premium type grip tape over a
cheapee one?

(A) Yes. I've used a cheap one from GW and Dynacraft and didn't like them.
It was a pain to remove the backing. This was about five years ago. Since
then I only use the tape from GS.

Comment: I don't use precut unless it is free. I just prefer the roll
because I can determine the length. Less waste and less expensive, even for
premium tape.

Some brands are also more difficult to remove. I never bothered to figure
out why. That's just been my experience.

FWIW,

Cub
