Okay, I tried the Advantec strips (I guess I can say their name here). I tried them multiple times, and I felt nothing--zip, zero, zilch. I decided to try these RTP Wasp strips as well. The first time I went out to hit a few balls with friends, I put two grams at 6:00 and later another gram at 12:00. My very first warm-up shot was going into the net, or so it felt (a little mini-tennis half volley). Miraculously, or at least seemingly miraculously, it cleared the net by two or three inches. My very next shot was almost identical. And it came with that same odd feeling that it was going into the net, but like the first it cleared.
I don't know if I somehow got acclimated to the feeling, if the strips suddenly stopped working, or if I was just fooling myself with some wishful thinking. Since then, I've tried Wasp strips on a total of three different rackets (new strips each time), and I've yet to experience the same feeling that came with the first three or four shots. I'm left wondering. What happened? I'm pretty sure I'm not buying anymore to find out. Sorry guys...

Love the concept, wasn't a fan of the actual execution
Was really excited about these as I love to both customize my racket and reduce the wear & tear on my arm (I'm a very vocal lover of the dampeners RTP makes.) I went to try and add 2 grams to my Solinco WhiteOut at six o'clock, and immediately ran into two issues. One, the strips really don't fit the way this racquet is made, they are a little too wide for the various surfaces on the frame. Two, and this one was the bigger issue, the strip pulled away from the adhesive during the install, leaving me with a sticky strip on my frame and a piece of sorbothane that I couldn't line back up and apply them. I'm going to try them on one of my other racquets, but definitely had issues on my first install.
Hi Josh,
Thank you for the valuable feedback. Please let us know how the next few install goes. Support@rtptennis.com. -Sky-

I replaced the tungsten tape to WASP strip on the tip of the racket but i don't find any difference in the feel when hitting the ball. After a while, I started having pain on my wrist again. So, i can't say that this strip reduces more vibrations than lead/tungsten tape.
Since WASP strip is slight sticky on the surface, i found clay sticking on it after my match.
The tiny amount of extra weight helped me be able to serve with a racquet that was too light for me before putting the strips on. It also helped my backhand slice and drop shot.
Easy to apply, nice that they are pre-cut, love the color. Hard to say if they if they differ from other weights in dampening vibration, haven't had them long enough to tell.
Will submit another review after a longer playing period.
Wasp strips were surprisingly effective at taking away shock from my racquet. With the combination of RTP’s dampner and these strips off center hits have become much more comfortable and the racquets feels more buttery at contact in general. I placed mine at 12 o’clock which has helped with spin generation and power so I’m hitting heavier balls which still dip in. Really happy with the strips! I imagine lead tape would have helped with spin/power just as well but why bother with lead when this is a more environmentally friendly option and with added comfort. Highly recommended!!!
Placed .5g strips at 3 and 9 o'clock on my yonex vcore 98 and found it to be pleasantly solid feeling and with a bit more pop. Been a few weeks and feels like a keeper.
I was having constant wrist pain. I saw your ads on Instagram. Gave it a try. Seriously, my wrist pain is almost gone. I am confident to hit a hard ball again! Bought one for a friend who is 80! She had wrist issues before. Not now! I have the heel inserts too. Big fan now !
