This tungsten tape is functional and does provide the specified weight per inch. It is highly flexible and reasonably thin for 1gram/inch tape. However, I found it to be poor cosmetically. The thickness of the tape is very uneven. It arrived very wavy which I thought would not be a problem once applied. But the tape has a very wavy uneven surface even after applying it to my paddle. I have this covered up with some slick edge tape and this wavy finish just looks unappealing. If you don't care about the look then this may not be that big of a deal. I also wiped the tape clean after installation to prep it for the edge tape and it left a lot of black residue on the towel.
