My Tarsacci is well designed, but did not come with a rubber hand grip (like my Simplex). It's smooth carbon fiber which is OK when I start, but as the day wears on it gets a little slippery. Not that big a deal, but has anyone added some grip tape to their detector handles?

The grip tape they use on road bikes may work. I’ve read others using it with success. Good luck!

agree with the others. any type of sports grip wrap such as tennis rackets could work well... Usually they're non-adhesive backed so they don't leave a residue when removed. Some bicycle grip tapes are adhesive backed, which may or may not be a good thing.

The first pic that Rust Gold posted is what i have on my detector just a black version, I use it to help with power gripping, I kept catching myself power gripping my shaft (lol) so I made the grip bigger and it has helped big time...

Also check out tennis racket tape...
