Hey guys recently went back to Babolat from my old Heads. The size of the Babolat 4 3/8 feels way bigger than the Head 4 3/8.

Is there a good way to make the grip feel slightly smaller? For example a thinner original grip, leather grip, or just 2 overgrips?

Thoughts?

1 thick over grip can often be comfortable enough. My friend uses that. I've used 2 regular over grips and it works just fine.

Or use a thin replacement grip. There are a few out there like babolat skin feel i think its called and recently prince just released resi-thin which is used to make u go a size down

if the resi-thin, feels anything similar to the resi pro then I would go with that one. Leather is a good overall option once your hand gets used to it, and you can put an OG on it as well.

thanks for the responses thus far. im leaning towards getting thin replacement grips. which ones would be good for that but still have a softish feel?

The Bab Skin Feel grips are pretty firm. A slightly softer alternative would be the Wilson Pro Hybrid.

Like I mentioned earlier the all the resi grip I have hit with (unfortunatly the thin I havent) were wonderful. I was not a big fan of the skin feel. I had just assumed to use 2 Gamma Supreme OGs. But I use leather and one Gamma Supreme, and I think that is fine for me. The pro hybrid DennisK mentioned is also another good option.

IMO, the leather is the best option cost wise because if you use a thin leather grip and replace just the OG you wont have to replace the leather. But it does take some getting used to.
