Leather Grip Experts Needed

[Borat]

Wilson Leather, Pacific Leather, Babolat leather......which of these is the thinnest, and which has the best feel?

I think people have generally said the Babolat's the thinnest.

I don't think so. I know there is a thread on this, but Gamma is actually the thinnest one available in the US. Apparently Yonex makes one slightly thinner -but it is really hard to come by.

It might not be the thinnest, but as far as best feel goes Babolat is great. (For me, anyway. It's soft and on the low end of the tackiness scale.)

I agree, I like the babolat too. I have played with the gamma and its soo hard it feels like plastic.

Vantage leathers are pretty thin as well. Thinner than the Gamma Hi-Tech Gel Grips.

Babolat's the thinnest I've come by (and the best IMO).

The Babolat leathers are my favorite, they will increase your grip size a little, but it's well worth it. They are easy to install, and feel very nice, especially because they are very firm. They make the bevels easier to find, although they are not tacky in any way. On Babolats, the adhesive backing is in the middle of the grip, but doesn't cover the whole back, this means you can simply overlap over the part of the grip the backing doesn't cover. This creates a perfect wrap. Also, they are very long, and fit easily on a Yonex handle with about 7 inches of grip left.

I didn't find gamma to be thin. I did find them easy to put on and all seven that I've owned were all the same thickness. The thickness is spot on, not too thin and not too thick. The tackiness is okay on them. BTW is there a place that sells the Prince calf skin leather grips that come with the POG?
