Heat Shrinks and Replacement Grip

[Phonco]

Hello,

I have a racquet at 4 1/4 that I want to increase in size to 4 3/8. So I plan to use a heat shrink sleeve to increase the bare handle to that size.

At that point, I would like to apply a replacement grip and one overgrip, which is what I do to my 4 3/8 racquets. I know that heat shrinks will tend to round out the bevels a bit.

So my question is what replacement should I get that will maintain the bevels after applying the heatshrink?

I've looked into Babolat Skin Feel, but I hear it reduces the size of the grip which is kind of a step back. Leather grips were a feasible option as well, but I'd prefer not to drastically increase the weight/balance too much. I've also read some into Gamm Hi Tech andPrince Resipro, but I would like to hear some more suggestions.


Thank You.

Oh, many apologies, but I forgot to mention that the overgrip I use is Gamma Supreme Overgrip.



Thanks once again.

Hey Phonco welcome to TT
Order a Babo Air sphere RG.Thick cushioned just what you needIMO
My old Yonex sticks never had the flared out cap like the Wilson's.Read here on TT that the Wilson caps fit right on,ordered them perfect fit.
That always an option.

As a personal preference i prefer using firm and flat replacement grips if im going to put an overgrip on it. Simply for the fact i dont like the mushy feel that much, kind of makes it a bit too thick.
i heard that gamma hi tech replacement grip is firm and keeps the bevels well shaped.
