First off I'd like to thank TW and Tourna for the samples.
I am a recreational player in the 4.0 range. I hit with a semi western grip and create a lot o my own power. I currently play with a Head IG Speed Pro.
I always use and overgrip on my racquet on top of a leather grip. I believe you get much better feel from the racquet this way with the absorbent quality of an overgrip.
I used to be a die hard original dry tournagrip guy, until I discovered Solinco's Wondergrips, which I use religiously.
Upon receiving the samples and installing one, I noticed that the new Mega Tack was thicker that what I was used to and extremely tacky. I mean it felt like if you hung this stuff up in the house you could catch flies!
Installing was no different that any other grip. It did not wrickle as easy due to the increased thickness an for once, I had plenty of extra at the end so one does not have to stretch the heck out of the grip to make it fit longer handles.
Upon using the grip for several hours of play, i noticed the tack did not fade like the regular version. I do think that it added a bit of thickness to the grip that I did not care for.
Sweat absorption was very good as I am a heavy sweater. It did become slightly slick after a second set of singles here in AZ.
The one downside is the grip did start to show signs of wear after one outing, which gets costly if you play a lot.
Would I use this grip? Well let me say since finding my wondergrips that I can use for weeks without changing probably not. My current grip has slightly less tack, but much better feel and seat absorption.
The new grip from Tourna is excellent for someone looking for extreme Tack, but does not sweat as much as I. Also for someone doesn't mind changing a grip each time they play.
It is a quality product and much better than their original, just not for me.
I will stick to my current grip which I think is a hidden GEM.
Thanks again TW... great chance to try some things out and help out with new product feedback.
Would you consider using this overgrip?
List any additional thoughts on the overall performance
