1. Slightly off, slightly on topic question - I seem to recall that many years ago RSI magazine/USRSA engineered a play test for OGs. I seem to recall that Yonex Supergrap was the most favored, but I cannot find the article. My online searching skills are usually pretty good, but I am coming up empty on finding a link. Did I imagine this playtest occuring? Anybody else remember it or know where to find the article?
2. Suggestion for folks on the search for the solution to slippery grips in humid conditions - I recommend giving the Prince Grip Enhancer a try. It's a chalky cream that you rub onto your hands like a lotion. Yes, sweat is a big part of the equation, but another factor is the little bit of oil that your hands always have, that really makes the grip extra slippery. Your hands always have a very thin layer of natural oil on them. Touch your fingertips to your sunglasses and look at the lenses to evidence that fact. The Prince Grip enhancer contains Alcohol, it's actually the main ingredient with some silica to create a paste like structure. Just a nickle sized dab of the stuff, dries your hands instantly, and more importantly, removes that natural oil too. Does not make your hands sticky, just very dry, very quickly. It's a great way to get through those 3rd set desperation-perspiration-situations when toweling off just isn't working any more, and you are thinking about re-gripping on a change over, or switching racquets altogether. I have a dubs partner who uses it before every match. I've tried that too, but for my tack preference, that actually dries my hands out too much. I prefer to carry it with me and dab it on whenever needed. Seems like we focus quite a bit on about the level of tack and dryness on our grips, but we don't often consider the level of tack and dryness of our own skin to start with.
