Pro's not using colored overgrips...?

[Chairman3]

It dawned on me the other day, Pro's basically use white (of the brand that sponsors them) or tourna overgrips.

What gives? Basically all major overgrip lines come in technicolor, so why don't Pro's want to add a little flair to (mostly) bland or standardized racquet paintjobs?

What do you think? Alternatively, post pics of pro's with a colored overgrip

When the 1st syn grips came out,the color of the grip mattered on the feel of the grip. The less dye the more likely the tack increases. OG Tournagrip is based on wicking sweat.
Style points for color,come on look at the kits they wear, when being paid.

The lighter the color the better the performance in my limited experience. Yonex supergrap is amazing. Yonex supergrap in black is a well… supercrap

@am1899 isn't the one of Sampras just his leather grip not covered by a tourna?

In 1989 Petros used both an orange overgrip and a lime green one.

With superb matching ring-finger nail varnish.

BTW, what's that stick? An H22 under the burn paintwork?

white has a different feel, tackiness, and i think last longer, and you can tell easier when they are dirty/worn/on its' last legs, especially compared to black. white is just more popular because it has the best feel, tackiness level, durability in the opinion of most people. i prefer neon yellow grips, but they don't last as long, i switched to white overgrips.

Looks like a Burn 100 actually. Note the shared holes at the bottom of the hoop.

Note that whilst her clothing choices went out the window, at least she wised up and adopted the white over grip.

a blue overripe is where she draws the line

She couldn't have her grip becoming a distraction.

It was Babolat's VS Gripsy The orange had a nice tack as I recall.
