Talking Blasphemous Replacement Grip? :D

I just re-gripped my St. Vincent 85" ProStaff 6.0 and didn't use a Fairway leather grip. Instead, I gripped it with my favorite - Gamma HiTech Perforated grip with black wilson xtra tack overgrip. (I usually prefer Yonex Super grap but since it's a wilson racquet I figured I'd go with Wilson overgrip).

It just seems .. I dno.. "off" not to put a fairway leather grip on that racquet for some reason. Anyone else put a non-leather grip on their PS 6.0? The fairway grip I replaced was old and had become rather hard and slippery.

you can clean and maintain your fairway still, if it's in good condition, but if you hate it, let me know, i'd love to get it from you.. i'll even pay shipping

I replaced the leather on all my 6.0s with wilson cushion aire. The point is, if you are going to use an overgrip anyway, why go for leather ??
