WILSON Micro-Dry Comfort Replacement Grip, Black

Many confuse an overgrip with a replacement grip - they're apples and oranges. This is a "Dry Comfort" replacement grip... neither the word "tacky" or "overgrip" is used for good reason. The name is what you get. If you are looking for tacky, a very popular tacky replacement grip is the Gamma Hi-Tech (or Contour) Grip. The top seller at Amazon is the HEAD Hydrosorb. Others include the Babolat Syntec Wimbledon (their popular Pro Tour for less tacky), the Dunlop Geck-Tac, or the Brown Matis Pro. For lighter tackiness, the Prince ResiPro is also popular. Then, there's a TW leather grip. Many claim this grip is absorbent - it's done mechanically with many holes to hold your sweat. The material is not absorbent. Get a towel grip if you want that. Comfort and tacky are not compatible; you can't have them both. The same is true for absorbent. Such a grip would quickly tear. I've ended up with ten rackets and carry four with differing head heaviness, string, and grips for various environments. This heavy grip is not ideal for aggressive play as thicker means move twisting (and tearing). Now, this thicker grip is good for volleying and drops. The larger size does not help gain grip strength (as many like to believe). No matter the size, muscle pressure is always the same and as any engineer can tell you a larger area only means fewer pounds per square inch - the total friction thus remains the same (see first comment for links to a couple of studies). While many players disagree, a heavier grip like this one also means a head lighter racket, not good for smashing. I primary use this grip for warm-up, friendlier games, and greater net play. This is a great all season, all around game play grip. I highly recommend it and I will buy it again (for my head light racket). There are many more tacky overgrips than replacement grips (IMHO, the best is Yonex Super Grap and it's a top seller at Amazon - next IMHO is Ni Ling GP1000) but you must use two (Nadal uses THREE Babolat VSs - not tacky) and they're not comparable to this product (I instead use $3 a roll Cramer Tape Underwrap for a small amount of comfort with a tacky grip). Others like the Wilson Pro (another top seller at Amazon) and Prince DuraTred+ (holds the tackiness longer). You could also try something with Tacky in the name like the Tourna Tac and Mega Tac. For a bit less tackiness, my favorite is the Gamma Supreme. The reason there's more tacky overgrips is that the tackiness never lasts long so it's assumed you will be replacing them more often and will naturally want something a bit cheaper (exactly how I roll - lol). Such along with cost are the primary motivations for an overgrip purchase. This IMHO is the best COMFORT replacement grip (for the money). Those who claim it is tacky or that it should be tacky are (sorry) completely wrong. Leather is not comfortable to me. Towel grips slip too much. A thinner grip will provide you with more control (and is better for smashing) in all situations. If you really like a tacky grip, you may want to use a tacky towel. But, personally I find an "uncool" racquetball glove is better than using a tacky towel - that's what I use after playing a while in 110+F and humid in Tucson.

Easy to put on a paddle handle. Feels great!

I am not sure but I might have gotten a left handed grip? I put plenty of grips on before but this one puzzled me. I had to spin the handle the opposite way to overlap the edge. Other than than putting the grip on the opposite way and there is only 1 way to do it since you got that line you need to overlap it with, it feels good on the hand.

The tape is very easy to install and is long enough to have a good overlap between adjacent turns. At the end of the tape, there are convenient marks to cut the extra tape in a way that the tape fits perfectly at the end of the grip. While playing, I found the grip more comfortable than the thin leather that I have in my other racquet (same model). I only wish the grip were more absorbent, we live in a high-humidity area and the grip does not absorb enough sweat.

I have been using the new grip 3 times a week for a month. Comfortable with good grip. No slip.

I used these grips to replace the ones on my 14yo Wilson rackets, and they worked like a charm. Very easy to install.

Agreed with a user's feedback that it might be left hand grip, the handle needs to be rotated opposite way to overlap the edge. This grip is too thick compared with the other two grips I get lately. Don't like it too much so I'm putting it on the racquet that I don't use...

This grip is easy to apply, has a great feel to it, and has lines at the end that make the final cut quick.

Es un grip, no overgrip. Mi grip estaba ya deteriorado y lo cambié. Es fácil de poner por el adhesivo y va genial. Buena calidad.

Hält Bombenfest, rutscht nicht und hat ein angenehmes Gefühl.

Top très bon grip facile à mettre en place.

Secondo la mia opinione ottimo prodotto e facile da montare.

de buena calidad y facil de instalar
