    ^ Crap, really? Of all the colours, white G10 is the second heaviest?! I had assumed it would be one of the lighter ones since white G09 was the lightest. :eek:

    Time to go weigh them...

    I have been using White and Greens for years and thought, naively, because if their lighter complexion they are the lightest. What my smashes would have been if I had used pink tape! LoL

    Loving the G10 grip, just wish the adhesive on them would be stickier. I've had issues where they would just unstick themselves while they were in my bag. I like to wrap the grips in reverse without using the label to retain a cleaner look.

    they are not meant to be used that way so cant blame them, but anyway, i do the same thing. Several things you can do.

    1. make sure to cut off the bit where the adhesive is not covered.
    2. stretch the last bit more, and make sure it goes to the direction where its coming from (tricky near the cone). If you do it pass the cone, easy, its straight.
    3. if you wrap it pass the cone, you can use the finishing tape and its only a few mm, or use electrical tape and cut it to 5mm or so. Very neat as well.
    4. you can always remove the adhesive and use a better double sided tape :D

    i use all methods depends on how far i wanna wrap for each racquet based on the colours lolz

    Yep to 1 and 2.

    Especially pre stretch that last few inches, then when you finally wrap it down, ease off, so that it's under less tension.

    I've been using additional double sided tape and it's working quite well. Never thought to do the prestretch, thanks for the tip!

    typical double sided tape is the same type as what they use i reckon. So just add more to increase the area and you should be good.
