Yes, and it does it without a weight increase. And is cheap ($5 vs $9 for most ofhers)

Yes, can easily tear into pieces when wrapped around the handle with some tension, but beside from that, i liked the feel.

Leather grips do make a difference to the feel as well in my view, not just the weight and balance impact. Most of my rackets come with one already, but every now and then they have a synthetic grip that I usually replace. The leather not only adds bevel feel, but the vibration absorption is somehow different. I find the response off the string-bed feels more solid, even as if the tension is slightly higher, because the leather seems to dampen vibrations in a different way to the PU most synthetic grips are made from.

I'm all in on leather grips. I don't have sweaty hands, and I love the feel of leather w/o an overgrip. It gets tackier w what little sweat it absorbs. Perfect for me. Every couple of weeks, I'll take a wet wipe and wipe my grip to clean it.
I'm also a fan of head heavy racquets, so if I don't need to put putty in the butt cap, due to the weight of the leather, I'm happy.
