Comments: One thing from an early comment deserves to be restated. The strips, while just thin enough to fit under a bumper guard, are just thick enough to be easily removed and re-stuck elsewhere; and the 3M adhesive still sticks well in their new locations provided they're clean. For instance, I originally cut a 0.1 ounce strip in two and placed the sections at noon under the hoop. When that felt like too much weight, I cut the strips in half again and moved them to 10 and 2 o'clock. Five hours of play later, the strips are holding well and feel perfectly balanced.

Comments: It's not toxic like lead. It sticks well and is easy to apply. The cons of this tape are, where do they come up with the claim tungsten is more dense than lead? It's not from my experience. These strips aren't solid metal either. It's metal mixed into plastic. Not a big deal, but keep in mind you'll need more of this product to have the same weight as lead. My biggest complaint is that they sell this in packs of three. I placed mine at the three and nine o'clock positions, the most common setup, and the correct way to do it is to place a strip along both sides of the strings. So it required four strips for one racquet. Selling them in packs of four, or even in pairs would make more sense. Overall though, I am happy with the product and do recommend it.

Comments: This is really great. Perfect size and weight for easy measuring. I wouldn't change the size of the strips at all, it saves so much time figuring out how much to use knowing that each strip is .1 ounce.

Comments: I consider myself to be a solid 4.0 player, who has been playing pretty consistently for the last two years. I would describe my style as an aggressive baseline player. I was a little skeptical about adding weight to my racquet. I have to say just a little bit of tungsten tape goes a long way. It's extremely easy to apply, just make sure you clean the area you intend to apply the tape with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Once the tape is on, it's very secure. I only added a half gram evenly to the 12 o'clock on my racquets for more plow through. I can feel the difference with my racquet and see the difference in my game. I highly recommend this product if you want to make your racquet more powerful.

Comments: First timer and it's incredible just how little can make a racquet feel so much better.So the tungsten tape comes with 3 strips each weighing 3 grams as advertised so total of 9 grams to play with.Why did I buy?1. I wanted more stability and give on slightly off-center hits with my old Microgel Prestige MP 18x20-it's on the stiffer side but a great player's stick for control.2. Also, my arm can handle heavier weight, so why not go for around 12.4oz - 12.6oz for a little added heft?Method:1. Confirmed the 3x3 indeed weighs 9 grams.2. Since each strip is 8 inches in length and weighs 3 grams each, 3/8 = 0.375 grams per inch.3. I cut six pairs of 2 inch little strips (0.75 grams per pair) and centered at 10, 12, 2 o clock totaling 12 inches.4. Math comes out to 4.5 grams total to the head of the racquet.5. I then purchased blu-tack (TW tungsten would work just as well here), and cotton-balled *Important* then rounded up to 5 grams of tack inside the butt cap to counter-balance.Results:+Definitely a heftier ball comes off the strings+Added stability and a bit more forgiving in the sense that even with a player's racquet, it will help expand that sweet spot just a tad.I will be playing around with the tungsten on my collection of racquets for sure.It definitely a variety of options depending on your needs.Just do the research and don't be afraid to experiment (specs are on paper, you cannot describe the feel of each stick without trying it!)

Comments: As some others commented, I also found that the tape is difficult to cut precisely to the weight I want. All 3 tapes are put together and I have to pull out one tape and cut it when it sticks on my fingers. It will be much better if the tapes are separate and inch or centimeter are indicated on each of them. Other than this, the tape sticked perfectly on my racquet frame so far. Good quality!

Comments: The head heaviness of my Head 170 Graphene Radical Pro was definitely too light (other racquets from other companies are even lighter in their swing weight). I could react quickly in the rallies with touch shots, but lacked the punch I needed to generate. The TW tungsten was the answer. I did not know where to start so I began with 8 inches per corner on each side of the racquet for 32 inches in total. I quickly realized that was too heavy so I went to 4 inches (total 16 inches). I started the tungsten at the 2nd cross string and moved down from there. Because my one racquet was 7 grams heavier (apparently this differential is pretty good in the industry) I had to give one racquet more tungsten and the other less. So I gave the lighter racquet 5 inches and the heavier racquet 3 inches. 5 inches on the lighter racquet I felt was too heavy so I reduced to 4 inches. Then I felt the heavier racquet was too heavy so I reduced it to 2 inches. Comparing again, I reduced the lighter racquet to 3 inches. I felt at that point the heavier racquet was too heavy so I dropped it down to 1 inch. At that point I felt the heavier racquet was too light so I added 1/2 inch. I am currently happy with my heavier racquet with 1 1/2 inches of tungsten and my lighter racquet at 3 inches. They are perfectly balanced with each other and both at the right swing weight optimized for my strength and wrist snap speed.

Comments: Great product. Sticks well and never comes off while hitting. Just wish the product was easier to divide up into 1 gram strips. Probably would have been better to make these in 9 inch strips.

Comments: If the "TW" all over the tape bothers you, just pretend it stands for Tungsten Weight!
From:John, 9/9/17

Comments: This Tungsten tape works great. It sticks well, easy to apply and looks fine on the racquet. I'd just ask they make each piece of tape some whole number in grams as that is the measure we use to apply tape. 0.10 oz for each piece can't be divided in grams.
From:SZ, 8/7/17

Comments: This is good stuff. I've wanted to add a bit of weight to my racquets for a while, but have always been a bit put off by the reports regarding lead tape and the permanency (not sure if that's a word) of silicone. This TW tungsten tape does exactly what I needed it to. I'm guessing it was primarily designed for frames and hoops, but it actually stretches out thin enough to fit underneath a grip, which is exactly what I wanted. It is a bit pricey, but I'm still very pleased that this weight adding option is available to me.
From:Rob, 8/3/17

Comments: Sticks well and the narrow-ish strips fit nicely. Applied to a Babolat Pure Strike Team (2016) racquet. Used 2 strips, cut each in half to apply to each side of the strings at the 10 and 2 positions (adding 3g total in each position). Combined this with 6g of the TW tungsten putty added under the buttcap to keep the balance the same. Also, I spray painted the strips white before applying to match the Pure Strike frame and this worked quite well.
From:Dane, 7/16/17

Comments: This tungsten tape is great. Well a little cheaper would be nice, but I love how thin it is so you can go under the head guard if needed. Also I like the fact that I can easily use nail remover to take off the TW logo that's all over the tape. Sorry guys, just looks cleaner without the writing. With that being said, I do believe this tungsten tape is better than all the other brands which I have tried so thank you TW.
From:Max, 12/16

Comments: Not a fan of lead so always looking out for alternatives, and this is it! As mentioned below, Babolat ones don't stick at all. And just like their popular leather grip, TW has made a very solid product again. They are clever to use 3M as the tape backing and so far it has stuck on well layered at 12 on both my 2014 PS90s. It is sticky, but not completely stuck that you can't relocate it for tweaking. Another bonus. Only suggestion for TW is to consider a denser/thicker option, as the length for these 3g is quite a long comparing to lead or Babolat kind, which forces me to cut and layer them if I wanted weight to be more focused.
From:Cody, 11/16
Note from TW: Thanks for the feedback Cody! We will keep that in mind for the future production of this product!

Comments: This tape is solid! I attempted to use the Babolat in the past, and it just would not stick, as you well know. I even use the product on golf clubs! Please continue to make this version, possibly shifting to four (4) strips for ease of measurement!
From:George, 11/16

Comments: This tungsten tape is so much better than the Wilson and the Babolat. The Wilson and Babolat would not stay on my racquet. Both came off numerous times and the only way to effectively secure it was to duct tape it on. I read other reviews where this was a problem with the Wilson and Babolat. Then I tried the TW brand. I immediately noticed the adhesive backing was 3M branded; 3M as in the huge corporation that has all types of adhesion products. I have had no problems at all, whether it is extremely hot or extremely cold it stays on. Great product TW, thanks for not skimping and going with 3M instead of a cheaper adhesive like Wilson and Babolat.
From:David, 10/16

Comments: It'd be nice if it matched lead tapes weight/length ratio i.e. 1 inch = 1/4 gram. Any chance of that in the future, TW?
From:PT, 9/16
Note from TW: Thanks for the suggestion! We will look into that for future versions of our Tungsten Tape.

Comments: Great product. Effective and easy to use. One downside is that it leaves a little residue if you use it for a while then remove it. TW, any suggestions on cleaning off the leftover gunk? Goof off hardly worked, soap and water on a toothbrush took forever.
From:Anonymous, 9/16

Comments: This is a great product. It works well and is a great lead tape alternative. Compared to regular lead tape, it's not quite as thin but it is denser. Only drawback is that it is expensive -- $1 per gram basically.
From:Anonymous, 8/16

Comments: This is the best way to add weight. The strips are narrow and thin, very unobtrusive and perfect for thin beamed racquets. The weight and length of the strips is spot on. One strip on each side (4 total), centered at 3 and 9 for stability, one strip each side centered at 12 and then one strip cut in half on each side centered at 12 on a Prestige MP. The weight is so well distributed I barely tell that I just added 21 grams of weight to the hoop. Now the racquet has the power, stability, feel and plow through it's meant to. I've used 1/4" lead tape and it's great if you are just trying to add a little bit of weight for fine tuning but for more drastic changes you really have to layer it. I've also tried using the Dunlop tungsten tape and it's just too thick, too wide and adds too much weight over not enough area of the frame.
From:Marc, 4/16

Comments: Just bought the Tennis Warehouse Tungsten Tape and it's amazing. If any of you recall, Babolat had a terrible Tungsten Tape that had terrible adhesive and would always fly off the frame. They eventually discontinued it. Well, Tennis Warehouse has done it. Their Tungsten Tape looks great, works great and is a quality product that does what it's supposed to do -- stick to the freaking frame while adding weight at strategically placed locations. Well done. This is an unsolicited testimonial.

Comments: This stuff is good. Easy to apply and very easy to change, move and alter to try different applications.
From:Joe, 2/16

Comments: This was a game and confidence saver. After losing my Roddick Pure Drive and replacing it with the upgrade Pure Drive Tour, there was a .2 ounce difference in racquet weight and head balance. This affected my whole swing, balance, and footwork. After struggling for a full year, I decided to try these and it feels just like the original Roddick. It was easy to apply. These also stayed on the inner of my racquet, no movement whatsoever. I will definitely buy another package to apply on my second Pure Drive Tour.
