Head Tour - seems good - cant imagine there being much difference between brands - especially when one applies an overgrip.
Anyone used prince calf skin?

I may be looking for some leather sometime, does anybody know if Yonex sells leather grips, I'm mean, I have Yonex racquets and I wanted to have the Yonex leather as well.

Besides Yonex, which one is the best one?

Does Fairway still make leather grips?

If so, how much?

Fairway still makes them, they are distributed by Vantage however I believe. Something like 21 bucks a grip.

Sadly, no.

I tried TW Leather. Even with an overgrip, it was just too hard on my hand. I loved the pure and firm feel from it. But it wasn't as comfortable as a standard synthetic grip.

I can't go back to playing with a synthetic grip, everything feels to mushy to me. I currently use Gamma leather, but I don't really have a preference, it just happened to be the cheapest.

I use Babolat Leather w/a Babolat overgrip because the leather does add a little firmness to the feel of the racquet and a little more weight, it may be my immagination but I think a leather grip makes for a more powerful racquet.
