Luxilon leather grips?

[BreakPoint]

Has anyone tried the Luxilon leather grips that they sell here at TW? If so, any comments? Are they thinner or thicker than other leather grips? Are they lighter or heavier than other leather grips? How does the quality compare to other brands? They are cheaper than the other brands so I was wondering if they're not as good. I also do not want to increase my grip size by replacing the stock synthetic grip with the leather grip. Thanks.

BreakPoint wrong forum!

as you probably know, SEARCH! just kidding, its really hard to keep the same grip size when replacing a synthetic with leather. hard to say, but i think its thicker than wilson,but not as thick as say volkl, but its still on the thicker side. weight wise i cant say, havent weighed a stick with one in comparison to another. if you stretch it enough, it can be thinnner and lighter because you will use less material. also, they are a very very dark burgundy so beware.

Thanks for the feedback. The color doesn't bother me as I always use an overgrip anyway. But does the color run or discolor?

BTW, how is this the wrong forum? The grip is part of the racquet IMO. There are also other leather grip threads in this forum.

I agree with nadal about the thickness and the wrong forum thing,
i think the quality is better than the others that they sell at tw but under an overgrip they all feel the same to me and it is colored better than the others too, it doesn't bleed on to the overgrip i dont know how much it weighs compared to others because im not that sensitive to weight when its added to the handle

Anyone else tried the Luxilon leather grips?

Quality is pretty good ... and the thickness isnt too noticeably bigger if you wrap it tight.

I liked the color.

i use babolat, but luxilon was good too, just didnt like the color. to me, under an overgrip msot leathers are gunna be pretty tough so it should feel teh same.
