Looking for Thin Replacement Grips (Leather or Synthetic)

[ShahofTennis]

Hey Talk Tennis.

I am looking for a thinner replacement grip for my Head Youtek Innegra Prestige Mid whose 4 3/8 grip size runs abnormally large(Almost 4 1/2). Any suggestions from the community as to what the best thinner replacement grips are will be very appreciated. Thanks.

I've been using Babolat Skin Feel grips to bring grip sizes down a little. They work well for me and feel fine -- a little cushioned compared to very thin leather grips. Leather is always an option.

i agree with Chotobaka. skin feels is the thinnest synthetic that i tried so far. if you choose to go with leather, make sure you get a thin over grip like wilson or yonex to prevent blisters.

Skinfeel 1.55 mm or 0.06 inches wide, according to the packet.

And attractively smooth, as I don't like ridges and holes.

Another choice is Prince Resithin, thickness 1,50. I use it myself and think it works well in reducing size.

I have the skinfeel on one of mine, it's very thin, but I do use an overgrip too. Just about to put the Gamma Lite on another, i'll see how it compares. I suspect they're so close you won't even notice.

Another +1 for skin feel. I own the Yonex 97t and didn't realize that the grip would be slightly larger than what I'm used to. Skin feel solved that.

OK, i have put the Gamma Pro Lite on my other stick, it definitely offers more cushion than the Skinfeel, whilst still being a thin grip. So much more that I'm going to try it without an overgrip.

The skinfeel is so thin that I feel you have to have an overgrip unless you really like that maximum feedback, minimum cushion feel. Which is just a little too raw for me.

Just wanted to update on the Gamma Pro Lite after playing a full match with it. I actually really liked it with no overgrip and will play with it some more, but I could see this being my go to grip from now on. The test will come when it gets hot, of course.

The grip that comes with the Babolat Smart Grip system is about as thin as Skin Feel but tackier and more cushioned. I wish they would sell this grip separate from the Smart Grip bundle.

if you wanted to go with leather get the TW thinnest one.

I just received some Babolat Skin Feel grips and when applied they seem similar in thickness to two Yonex Supergrap over grips. The Babolat feels more cushioned.
