I have wondered this for a long time. Personally I prefer buying black ones.

no dye in white overgrip, this came from manufacturer rep themselvesAre you sure there is no dye in the white ones? I use white because it shows dirt, and reminds you to change. It also goes with any coloured racquet or string.
My wife works in the biomedical industry, and told me that dyes can have a big impact on the mechanical properties of materials, even biocompatibility may be affected. So it's not just our collective imaginations.Believe it or not, the dye actually changes the feel, and in some cases, the durability/longevity of the grip.
I thought people were crazy here when I first heard this, but over time I’ve come to notice, at least with Wilson Pro and SuperGrap, that some colors are different from the white.
I still play like feces no matter which color I pick. I must be doing something wrong.White overgrips are clearly better. My tennis improves 200% with them.
Easy Answer. Colored overgrips have dye in them to add color... and when you do that it isn't as good at tackiness and grip. white ones have no dye in them. so they make better grip and feel
I very much doubt there is no dye in white overgrips.
Every dye can have a different impact on the properties, so it's not necessarily a question of dye vs no dye, but dye 1 vs dye 2.I very much doubt there is no dye in white overgrips.

I'm surprised 4 of you don't use Tourna. What's this world coming to...
Tourna is garbage. Wilson pro and Yonex Supergrap are better in every way.
SHUT UP PEASANT!!!
TrueTourna is garbage.
False. Both equally awfulWilson pro and Yonex Supergrap are better in every way.
In response to those who claim white grips are not dyed. All colors are dyed.It's because ofprivilegeit looks cool. Shows signs of age quickly so you know when to switch. I'm also picky with grips so it's easier to see overlaps.
As opposed to the other colours, which are achieved with the four natural elements, wind, earth, water, and fire?
That's fair. But I think the point is that if white is the baseline colour, then the use of additional or other / different dyes will cause the grips to perform differently.In response to those who claim white grips are not dyed. All colors are dyed.
I agree.That's fair. But I think the point is that if white is the baseline colour, then the use of additional or other / different dyes will cause the grips to perform differently.
Same way ALU Blue is meant to be the same as ALU silver and yet anyone who's played with both will tell you they are not the same.
Maybe. But white grips are better.In response to those who claim white grips are not dyed. All colors are dyed.
To be clear, I never said there was no dye in the white, just that the dye itself can change the feel (I believe you were responding to Fedace, but just want to make that clear).Are you sure there is no dye in the white ones? I use white because it shows dirt, and reminds you to change. It also goes with any coloured racquet or string.
Like the endless blackness of space that leads to the chasm of clams...Dyed grips aren't as good, although it would be super cool to see Federer use a black overgrip with his blackout RF97. Add in an all-black USO07-esque outfit and blacked-out Vapors.

That's tourna thoughJack Sock uses a blue grip.
Not really my point but yeah black can be good look for anyone. Shorts and shirt don't match well though. Different material and color. And that glossy stripe is eww. Black socks and shoes also don't match well. Doesn't matter from afar maybe.
It's just such a perfect look for Fed. Classy, regal, and intimidating. If only the K90 was blacked out, that would complete the entire image.
I second thisTourna is garbage. Wilson pro and Yonex Supergrap are better in every way.
Does it really matter color of wear or overgrip? Isn't it more important how effective you are while wearing/using those?

That's like saying a Wilson pro staff or pt57a is garbageTourna is garbage. Wilson pro and Yonex Supergrap are better in every way.

Nah. PS or pt57a dont fall apart in your hands in 20min.
I reuse a tourna grip by turning it inside out and upside down. Then it lasts longer than my strings. Or maybe even longer than 2 string jobs. So what you're saying is pretty much nonsense
Very innovative of you. I did that same thing back in the 90s before you were born. Maybe you're one of my kids actually
