**Disclaimer: This product is still being tested by the community. This description is based on our experience and tests so far. These are not mumbo jumbo pickleball marketing claims we're all used to**

(As far as we're aware, we're the only ones willing to sell this tape in this low quantity at the moment)

Our findings:

-Significantly reduces vibration/shock on your paddle making it feel buttery and smooth in your hands

- Easily apply to the edge guard or handle underneath the grip

- Comes in a 2-inch wide x 36 inch long single strip

- Weight: ~4.8 inches long x 0.5 inches wide = 1 Gram (Official length per 1g coming soon)

- Easy to apply and customize size and placement on the paddle

- Peels off with no residue (that we have experienced so far. Unsure of long-term use)

- We recommend overwrap with edge guard tape to eliminate reflection when applied to the edge guard.

- Stick and peel multiple times if needed/wanted (making it easy to customize how you like your paddle to feel without cutting/using more tape)

Designed to reduce the vibration significantly felt in your hands and throughout the paddle, this tape is great to try for players looking for more comfort/plush feel and less paddle shock on any of their paddles.

This versatile tape can be applied in multiple ways - Wrap it fully or cut to measure pieces around the exterior of your paddle’s edge guard or to your handle underneath the grip to dampen vibration on the paddle and in your hand.

Since this is an aluminum external facing tape, we recommend over-wrapping the edge guard with an additional layer of edge guard tape to eliminate any reflective surface.

Weighing only 6 grams when fully applied around the perimeter ~26 inches at 0.5" wide, this tape is incredibly lightweight and doesn't have a major affect on your paddle’s balance + works beneath or on top of lead/tungsten weight. 

How to apply (please be careful, aluminum edges are sharp!):

1. Cut to width/length
2. Peel away the blue transition tape
3. Stick to the desired area lightly (do not slide fingers to apply. Press on and then smooth)
4. Use a hard plastic surface item to rub/smooth the aluminum foil onto the surface for the maximum area surface to be applied
