I'm really digging the new tape from Vise. 8 different release profiles without all the sticky residue that some of the white tapes seem to leak though to your thumb.


I doubt I will ever use the Silver or Orange but the Red, Blue and Yellow are awesome!


And no, I do not work for Vise or represent them in any way, no matter what the grippy glove tools claim.

My proshop guy is selling the new Vise tapes on the cheap as an introductory promotion, so I bought a package each of the Silver (least friction) and Orange (most friction) just to experiment with the extremes. 
 
I liked the Silver on the back of the thumb hole because it's not too abrasive. It's a nice compromise between black and regular white. The Orange just felt strange. It almost has a sticky feel to it. I got out OK, but removed it after a few shots. It almost seemed gimmicky. 
 
If you were really an undercover Vise employee, I would have hit you up for freebees a long time ago. 

From my personal experience, the blue. Or yellow is just a bit more than blue.

I don't understand why they felt the need for EIGHT different textured tapes, but whatever - it's their company.
That being said, I am currently trying the purple tape (second strongest) and I like it so far. I like it even better than the Real Bowlers Tape silver, which I find gets dirty really quickly and tends to roll down a bit, necessitating replacement pieces all the time.
Now that I use IT thumbs I don't change my thumb tape as quickly so I expect this to last a while.

Does the silver have a little bit of texture atleast? I don't want it to make it slicker than not using any tape. My problem with the regular white tape from say Storm is that, my thumbhole is so close to being exact that one piece of Storm White and I stick. I'm curious to try a single piece of this silver and see how it does.

It does have a bit of texture, not slick like most black tape.

I bought a full 24 piece pack of each color from my pro shop over the weekend.

I will try this then because I just cannot make the white tape work.
