Tacky Overgrip - moving away from Supreme...

Can anyone recommend a tacky overgrip (in white) that retains its tackiness over the course of 6 or more sets?

I've used Gamma Supreme overgrip for quite a while now but recently it seems like it doesn't last as long as it used to and for some reason each time I remove the overgrip there is white residue left from the overgrip on my racquet handle.

Some I've thought about trying: Gamma RZR Edge, Head XtremeSoft, Solinco Wonder, Wilson Pro, and Yonex Super Grap

Can anyone comment on the tackiness and quality of these five overgrips?

btw: I've tried Tourna Mega Tac and it lives up to its name, but it's just way too tacky...cannot rotate my hand to different grips at all

Thanks for any and all input.

If you've tried MegaTac and felt it was too tacky, try TournaTac instead. It is real nice and I feel it has a nice cushion to it also. A lot like Wilson Pro, but more durable and more cushy.

I was using Supreme (black) over the Hi Tech grip (black) on my 4 1/2 size racquets, but after a while it felt too rubbery. So I switched to Viper Dry overgrip (black), which is a little firmer and better with Hi Tech. I also tried the Viper Dry in white and it was nice, higher quality feeling than the black but not as tacky.

It's tough to say if an overgrip will bleed onto your grip, but the RZR Tac grip is similar to the Supreme except that it is slightly thicker and stretches very little during installation. It would be good to use if the base grip is pretty firm. For a softer base grip, I would use the Viper Dry.

Love Yonex Supergrap! I have sweaty hands and it still works great. Tried Viper Dry and didn't get on with it.

+1 on the Gamma RZR Tac. Just tried it for the 1st time about a week ago after reading a review that it was like what the original Gamma Supreme OG used to be like.

I can only share my experience with Wilson Pro and Yonex Supergrap. Both grips have near identical levels of tack at the beginning, but the supergrap maintains its tackiness longer and does not get slippery. The Wilson Pro overgrip does get slippery for me towards the end of its life.

I used to like super tacky wraps but found the super tacky ones tend to be great when fresh but would lose all of that sticky layer after 30-45 minutes of play, and it was getting expensive to replace so often. So lately I've been getting used to to a more moderate tack in the hopes of something that will last longer. I've been playing Wilson Pro lately and find it to be durable and still feels the same even after a week or two of play.
