I use the bio-skin pro (blue). My fingers have a major problem with cracking so I use this to protect from that, and it works great. As far as effect on release I have not noticed any difference. I don't feel like I generate more revs, nor do I feel like I lost revs. I have always been a high rev player so I may not notice an increase in revs. My fingers seem to come out just as clean as without the tape on. The biggest thing for me was stopping my skin from cracking open and bleeding. I obviously had to increase my finger grip by one size to account for the tape, but this was not a big deal. I hope this helps.
