No to the black; I also use AMF tape, white 3/4" to be exact. The AMF tape holds up longer, as far as the texture. My second choice is Master. I've found it to be about as close to the AMF tape than others.
I've used other brands, but have found either: the adhesive isn't as strong, the texture is terrible, no texture at all(white tape), feels flimsy or putty like.
I've seen some bowlers use athletic tape or electrical tape.
