I agree the Toalson looks like something to try. I’ve used the Dunlop Viperdry and didn’t care for it. It got slick and that’s why I went to Wilson. Head Prime Tour is looking very promising for me right now. I wasn’t excited about it until late in my match tonight.I like Dunlop super tac. But I’m curious about the toalson one mentioned here a few times - anyone can compare the toalson to the Dunlop super tac ?
Toalson stays tacky for much longer, and overall better quality. With super tac, it gets a little slippery when I sweat a lot. But super tac is slightly thicker.I like Dunlop super tac.

I thought so too, until I got sweaty and my hands started getting the grip wet. Worse than Wilson Pro and Yonex SupergrapI just switch to RTP (road to pro ) tennis grip, They actually have been the best grip I ever got. They're in between Wilson pro overgrip and Yonex Supreme
Did you get the white or the black one? I feel like that with the black ones but not the whiteI thought so too, until I got sweaty and my hands started getting the grip wet. Worse than Wilson Pro and Yonex Supergrap

Just finished a 12 pack or tec pro contact and very impressed. I sweat a lot and it absorbed very well and durability was amazing. I re-grip when I feel the need and these lasted up-to 15 sessions, and were.replaced asy.thumb had started to wear away the overgrip. Two findings, you have to remove the plastic film slowly otherwise it stays in the branded stamp name. And you have to stretch it just right so it doesn't bobble around the buttcap.
I've.got gamma supreme, Wilson pro, yonex supergrap, Pacific and tourna megatac in the cupboard to try, though honestly I would be happy using the Tec only in the future
Wilson lasts? It doesn’t last long for me, neither does Babolat VS.Nothing better than Wilson Pro imo. Yonex Supergrap pretty close second.
yeah wilson pro loses its tackiness rather quickly imoWilson lasts? It doesn’t last long for me, neither does Babolat VS.
Solinco Wonder grip last a decent time for me.
Try this brand called Road To Pro. They have great over grips, $19 for 15 over grips that I think are better than Wilson Pro and Yonex SupergrapI’ve tried Wilson Pro, Head Prime Tour, Dunlop Super tac, yonex super grap, and Tourna Tac.
Wilson & Yonex are almost the exact same from my experience, I don’t know how people tell me they notice a big difference.
Dunlop Supertac and head prime tour are similar but not the same.
Tourna Tac is the one I’ve been most recently using, it is different to the others as the feeling is much smoother and not textured like the other overgrips, this actually works better imo and you don’t get the same not visible micro tears (can’t see them but can hear and feel them) that you get when you stretch the others. Also tourna tac is the only one that actually gets tackier when you sweat (for me). Plus tourna is made in the US and is cheaper than the other options $42 for a 30 pack. I’ve been using Wilson Pro as my main grip (while trying others listed above, and dry grips not listed above) for the last year or so but over the last month I think I’ve decided to fully make the switch to tourna tac. I think the light blue color may be the tackiest with black and white being similar tackiness, have not tried the pink. The tourna tac xl also provides enough extra grip to wrap around the buttcap twice to enlarge it (i always do this) while the head prime tour does not, all the others I listed above do though. Would like to give Gamma supreme a shot but I do not think it will be tourna tac, have no desire to try mega tac as tourna tac is more than tacky enough for me. also it has been the most durable og for me.
I don’t know, I changed my mindI thought so too, until I got sweaty and my hands started getting the grip wet. Worse than Wilson Pro and Yonex Supergrap
I tried the Solinco wondergrip recently after using mostly Yonex super grap.Wilson lasts? It doesn’t last long for me, neither does Babolat VS.
Solinco Wonder grip last a decent time for me. And the price point is good about $32 for 30
I have a tacky head hydrosorb replacement grip underneath and it doesn’t slip there, I heard leather grips will slip? I have had leather grips before they held fine too, or just pull the over grip tighter?I tried the Solinco wondergrip recently after using mostly Yonex super grap.
initially the solinco feels just as tacky (a little bit more tacky and slightly more plasticky) but noticed 2 problems
1. overgrip at the racket handle was slipping down the racket after I went to practice serves. Fixed after I removed and regripPed it tighter. Read In forums that both sides used to be tacky now only the outside is made tacky which makes it prone to slip.
2. after 30-40 minutes of hitting with sweat in the summer it gets slippery, racket sometimes twists in hand. I don’t get this problem with super grap.
over all durability is decent though and price is obviously better. But not sold on them. Probably going back to Yonex or trying something else
Interesting. Ive used it on a head gravity pro with the stock grip (I believe hydrosorb) and didnt have much issue. When I used it on a Yonex Vcore with stock grip I had the slippage. Maybe due to the difference in handle shape/flare or the underlying grip. In either case, I was able to fix it by re overgrip ping it tighter. Not a deal breaker but something for others to take note of if trying for the first time.I have a tacky head hydrosorb replacement grip underneath and it doesn’t slip there, I heard leather grips will slip?

I’ll be honest I got it mostly for the 30 for $32 cost. I know it lasts longer and slightly thicker than Wilson or Babolat vs.
I second anything tourna. Even the dry grip shreds.Any new tacky overgrip in 2024 that lasts longer, Currently using Tourna Mega Tac but its not that great in sweat absorption during summers.
Any thoughts on the Toalson grips? I hear good things.
I switch from Mega Tac to Tourna Tuff during the summer. It’s the only one I found that deals with sweat but still maintains some level of tack.Any new tacky overgrip in 2024 that lasts longer, Currently using Tourna Mega Tac but its not that great in sweat absorption during summers.
Same. $7.99 for a 3 pack is pricey but worth the sample short term.I switch from Mega Tac to Tourna Tuff during the summer. It’s the only one I found that deals with sweat but still maintains some level of tack.
I just ordered some Yonex Dry Supergrap to try it out.
I agree. That's what I do. Any good grip or tack spray helps keep the grip tacky when the grip starts losing its tackiness.I've found the best/cheapest way to have tacky overgrips that last is to buy Tourna Tuff and spray it with goalkeeper tack spray as-needed. The Tourna Tuff hasn't worn out on me yet, and by reapplying the tack spray I can get as good of a grip as with a brand new tacky overgrip. The only downside really is that the grip will get pretty dingy after a few cycles, but since the grip is blue it doesn't look all that bad.
Somebody said that the Gamma Supreme is the same as Toalson Ultra and is made by Toalson. Not sure if it's true, but the Gamma Supreme is the best I've ever tried including all the ones mentioned in this thread.Agree - Toalson Ultra Grip best
mega tac is so tacky it’s a little slippery, and i’m not a sweater. I’ve found Dunlop Super Tac to be the best in terms of all around performance. Wilson Pro, Yonex Supergrap, and Head Prime Tour are not bad at all. Tourna Tac and Gamma supreme may have a bit longer durability but they are also thicker and my ocd kicks in feeling the ridges too much.Still nothing is tackier than Mega Tac.

yonex dry supergrap feels very similar to tourna tuff. i like both a lot.mega tac is perfect for winter when the air and your hands are bone dry
Try Yonex Dry Supergrap, it's the tackiest absorbent overgrip I've found.
Yep, same here. Gamma Supreme is the better, longer lasting, version of Wilson Pro. Only the white though. The color ones are not as tacky and don't feel great to me.I was a Wilson pro overgrip user for many years until recently last year I decided to try the Gamma Supreme. It has similar tackiness to Wilson pro but lasts longer. So, I’m sticking to Gamma Supreme, the white color.
i disagree, gamma supreme is similar to tourna tac though, and head prestige overgrip. All three of these are comprised of like a thin foam whereas overgrips like Wilson Pro, Supergrap, and Head Prime tour are different. Gamma supreme is good though.Yep, same here.

A new answer to an old question--a week or so if I play exclusively with a racquet. A pack of 3 (I usually buy in larger quantities, so unit costs are even lower) costs about as much as a trip to Starbucks, so is hardly worth keeping track of the cost. If I try out a brand that I don't like, I'll just use them up and not buy them again.Just curious as to how long most people expect an over-grip to last. I've seen people have the same over-grip on their racquet for months. For me they are a temporary grip, and I change them very often.
