I just love how it looks and feels!

Yep, unfortunately it does not absorb. Nada.
Durable and dry yes.

I use a ribbed grip and the tackiest overgrip I can find, usually a Babolat or Gamma. I haven't changed the ribbed grip in so long I can't remember where it came from, there's no wear on it at all. Great system for me, I hate a slippery overgrip!

Wilson has a grip called the advantage overgrip. I just tried it today and I thought that it was pretty good for absorbing sweat.

I just tried Viper Dry. I like the grip, but it's pretty thick for those worried about increasing grip size too much.

I agree. Viper Dry is on the thick side. None of the thinner grips I tried (Wilson Pro, Head XtremeSoft, Yonex Supergrap) work well in summer.

One consolation is that Viper Dry doesn't give me blisters. Other thick over grips, like Prince ResiPro, give me blisters in the places where they overlap.

Au contrare, I don't find the Viper Dry thick at all. If anything it seems thinner than Supergrap. Saying that, I do always pre-stretch out overgrips as not to impact grip size too much. But you are right, it is not absorbant, just dry feeling as opposed to tacky. There is obviously dry feel and absorbant and there is a difference.

I have recently started using Viper Dry and I think its really good. It has that rubbery feeling to it, similar to ResiPro, whereas Supergrap and Wilson Pro have that slightly spongy feel, which I guess gives them absorbant qualities.

In my experience, for tacky grips I would put Supergrap ahead of Wilson Pro, the tack seems to last longer. The tackiest I have found is Wilson Profile, but that one does feel thicker than most, but it certainly grips your hand back well. I tried TournaTac....a big no no for me. I didnt like that at all.

For absorbancy, probably hard to beat the original Tourna. The pros use it for a reason, but durability is an issue. Dunlop Hydramax isnt bad. Decent absorbancy and fairly durable.

has anyone tried the Volkl V-dry? there was a quick review by TW. http://blog.tenniswarehouse.com/misc...-dry-overgrip/

Im currently using the tourna original.

Has anyone tried the wilson advantage or this volkl v-dry?

I am actually surprised that no one has yet mentioned Dunlop Osmo-Dry (white)as the best dry overgrip. I have tried several others including the ones mentioned here and none of them can absorb as much as this one does.
I recently bought a 3 pack of black ones as well, but it was nothing like the whites.
