How many strips are included in a package?

Can this be used on all racket sizes?
Yes, the pre-cut strips are designed to fit most standard tennis racket head sizes.
Should I remove old tape before applying new tape?

Is the adhesive safe for the racket finish?

Troubleshooting
Tape peeling at the edges
Ensure the frame is completely free of grit and oil before application, and apply more pressure during the initial installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the tape, start by ensuring the head of your racket is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Peel the backing from one of the pre-cut strips and align the center of the tape with the center of the racket head guard. Smooth the tape down firmly toward the sides, ensuring there are no air bubbles. For optimal adhesion, apply pressure across the entire surface of the tape once applied. When removing, peel slowly to avoid any residue, and use a standard adhesive remover if necessary.
