I´m sitting in my living room with my macbook, my son is playing around in the room and in my hand I have a letter from South Carolina. It´s autumn in Germany so it´s raining most of the time. The weather in South Carolina is probably better than here.
The letter from SC contained some fresh riptape for your fingerboard. The letter was sent by Theory Grip. The brand was founded in 2015 and offers grip and rip for your fingerboard. This brand isn´t unknown in the scene at all, but for me it´s the first time having some Theory riptape.
So lets have a look at some nice thin black fingerboard riptape:

The mystery of good fingerboard tape is all around the scene. Many companies try to offer great fingerboard tape and just die trying. Fingerboard riptape is pure art and science at one point. It makes a fingerboard perform great or perform horrible. So lets say it´s way more important than some people think.
Let´s talk about this Theory riptape. The reference in this class are the Blackriver riptape and the Fingerboardstore riptape. Why are these tapes the reference? Everybody knows them and both perform just great.
The Theory tape comes in perfect cutted sheets (110mm x 35mm). It´s deep black and the thickness is normal to thin. The pores of the tape are really really fine (check out the pictures). It´s overall medium soft. This tape is a mix between FBS and BRR. The material is made to last long, not like slim and catchy tapes. The tape is pretty grippy even when it´s new, so you won´t need time to become friends with it. One single sheet of tape is about $ 1,50. You can get 5 packs on the site as well. Just get some sheets, you won´t regret ordering!
I´m considering this tape in my personal Top 5 of fingerboard tapes! There are many companies out there who offer fingerboard tape. Not all of them are good. Be careful and choose the right one!
