Leather Grip on my RDS -Help?

[dirkgnuf]

HI,
I am interested in installing the thinnest leather grip I can find, onto my Yonex RDS 002 Tour. The Base of the grip is somewhat thicker than usual 4 1/2 grip sizes, since the stock grip that came with it is quite thin. Has anybody tried adding a TW leather grip to an RDS, and how did the grip size come out?

Also, is the Laserfibre Tourfit grip leather-feel like, since it is so thin?
Also, if anybody knows where I can get thin leather, or leather like grips, please let me know. ****'s synthetic leather grip is nice but at $20 it's way too pricey for me.
Thanks

The TW thin leather on my 4 3/8 RDS002 stock came to 4 3/8 no stretching. Stretching a Gamma leather just modestly puts it at 4 3/8 as well. You should have no problemo, probably close to the same for the 1.5 mm TW Leather, maybe just a hair over stock size.

Install the gamma leather grip.

i install the tw Leather Grip 25mm x 1300mm x 1.3mm on my rds 001 mp 3/8 which has been increased to 28 inches, and it came out just like a normal 3/8, it works fine for me

Sorry to digress but how did you extend it to 28 inch? It'd be just like Nalbandian's racquet!

Go with the Tourfit Twintones! Sharp bevels, not as harsh as leather & it won't alter the weight/balance of your frame. What more could you ask for? Actually, only go with these if you use an overgrip because they aren't durable without one.
