I tried the red one but a long time ago. And I think I also played with white ones if I recall correctly but they both weren't as good, let alone better, than Supergrap or Tourna grip imo.

Ok, thanks. I'll probably pass on trying it unless I can find a single to buy.

I've been really happy with babolat vs original grip. Doesn't last that long but has a great dry feel and is super thin.

Relinquis · 02-11-2013, 07:38 AM

I really like the Dunlop Gecko tac overgrips. Very tacky and non-abrasive to touch. I like them so much I've decided to use them on my squash racquets as well.

In terms of babolat I prefer the Pro Tour overgrips over the VS ones, but Dunlop is still better imo if you are after tack and a nice smooth feeling grip (also more durable, but i don't go through many overgrips). I haven't tried many others though.

i have just started using leather on my main stick and haven't used an overgrip on it yet. Will report when i do.

What do you guys like to use over leather?

Thats so spooky that you mention the Gecko Tac. I am looking to try those out too. Ive noticed the Dunlop overgrips have a slightly thicker feel to them, which is what I'm after, plus I like the tacky overgrips.

I like Supergrap, but it seems to wear down very quickly where my thumb sits.

solinco wonder grip for the win

mongting · 02-11-2013, 10:12 AM

I like Tourna Tac XL. Like the blue color.

I tried that and really wanted to get on with it but I found it too slippery and not tacky enough. Shame really. But glad you like it, it looks good.

ricki · 02-12-2013, 05:07 AM

I like prince overgrips such as DuraPro, resipro, duradry etc.

slowfox · 02-12-2013, 08:01 AM

Not sure if I replied before, but Yonex Supergrap is DA BEST.

Its very hard to beat. There are some that are as good, but not many better IMO. I just find some colours less durable than good ol' white.

Tried some of the Orange, but really don't like them at all. This thread is very interesting, as this seems like it may be the most personal choice for all people. That being said, my favorite 3 are Wilson Pro Perforted, Supergrap, and Volkl V Tac.

Relinquis · 02-12-2013, 10:52 AM

definitely a personal choice... i like to experiment with different types to see what works and under what conditions.

i guess i haven't fallen in love with (or maybe become superstitious about!) any particular grip yet.

BIGJ98 · 02-12-2013, 01:19 PM

Wilson Pro

I have read a few reviews where different colour supergrap has a different feel. The white seems to offer the best tack.

I usually use the white over leather but would like an over grip with similar feel but a bit more durable.

davced1 · 02-20-2013, 05:48 AM

Yonex dry grap. A bit like tourna but feels better and last longer. They used to sell them in Sweden but now I had to order them from Canada.

novak.20v · 02-20-2013, 11:18 AM

My top 5 favorites [in order]:

1. Klipper Overgrip - White [I would use this overgrip, but it's too wide, which makes it difficult to wrap on a 4 3/8 grip & I'm very picky how overgrips are wrapped]

2. Solinco Wonder Grip Overgrip - White [Current Overgrip]

3. Gamma Grip 2 - White

4. Yonex Supergrap - White

5. Wilson Pro Overgrip - White
