They are both very similar in thickness, weight and you can feel the bevels of the handle with minimal cushion. Tourna Pro Thin (1.25mm) is even thinner and with virtually no cushion when getting a feel for the bevels. Head leather grip is 1.5mm and you can pull tight and stretch to make it thinner, or Kimony leather which is 0.8mm thick and both will keep the frame with a headlight balance due to the heavier weight.
