yes

all that kind of stuff is pretty much the same.

from what I've experience, Friction Tape in the narrow width, is most easily used for bike stuff, and its the cheapest.

I'm always blown away when i see basically the same product sold as something else, like tennis racket tape.

albeit, its a little different, so really its not "the same product", but for all intended purposes... the same.

plus with regular old cheap Friction tape, you get a decent sized roll.

i wrap it on all sorts of stuff. you end up on a friction tape frenzy
