Best Non-Tacky Overgrip

[andreev_forehand]

What are some good non-tacky overgrips? I've read a few of the overgrip posts, but I can't seem to find a good answer to my question. I have a semi-western forehand and a two-handed backhand, and if my hand is sweaty and the grip is too tacky and I try to switch grips, it's hard to rotate it into position on time. Anyone else have this problem? Some have said that Tournagrip isn't so tacky, but both Tournagrip and Tournagrip II seem too tacky to me.

I use Wilson Pro Soft.

However although it's not "tacky" (sticky, whatever), it does provide resistance to slipping, it's just a different way of doing it. (as is tournagrip)

Maybe some cheap junk grip is not tacky and also doesnt keep from sliding in your hand, but they also make it almost impossible to hit a good serve or decent strokes because you either have to have the death grip on the racquet, or you have to fight having it not go flying out of your hand.

I wonder if you use your off hand to help change grips? I used to have a habit of just using my right hand to change grips (I have big hands) so if something was too sticky or tacky it would make it impossible.

Then one day I started wearing a glove which forced me to use my other hand to switch grips. (which helped my strokes, especially my 1HBH because I trained myself to make sure my off hand was invovled in the strokes)

(eventually I stopped wearing the glove of course, but the point is if I use my off hand for changing grips, then i can even use tacky grips)

Thanks Javier maybe I'll try that pro-soft. I do use my off hand (left) to switch grips, it's just that the palm of my right hand still catches (if it's the least bit sweaty) as I'm rotating the handle, therefore making it uncomfortable and difficult to arrive at the right position. This maybe because I have naturally soft (slightly oily) skin on my hands.

Actually mdubb may have a point whether he meant to or not, because I have tried head racquets and their more rectangularly shaped handles (cross-sectionally) allow for much easier grip changes from semi-western forehand to two-handed backhand. Unfortunately as soon as I discovered this I sprained my finger, so as soon as it gets better I'll be able to see if that solves my grip change problem.

I found the babolat VS grip pretty soft and non tacky. I used to only be able to use soft grips bc of hand blisters but eventually I developed some nice callouses and I can't use anything but the tackiest grips.

Well, thanks. ;). But, no, I meant the Head Prestige Pro overgrip. It is just slightly tacky, yet provides a great feel and fantastic sweat absorbtion. Used by Djokovic, highly recommened by me. ;)
