Which color overgrip did you receive? I got the white grips
Do you typically use an overripe? Yes, always
If yes, which one do you use? I have been using Yonex Supergrap in white for the past 3 years
Was the test grip easy to apply (any wrinkles during install, did the grip lay down nicely?) This is the "first impression" of the grip. I noticed that it was tighter than my yonex, but not as thick as some klipper grips I have used in emergencies. The grip needed to be pulled a decent amount to be put on nicely.
Was it sized appropriately (e.g., was it long enough?) This aspect is very important for me because I never cut my grips when I reach the top. I always wrap it to just below the throat because it gives me a place to dry my hands while I'm playing (I also think that it looks cool). This grip was plenty long enough for that.
Level of tackiness (did your hand stick/slip too much?) This is an interesting topic for me. As soon as I put the grip on, I noticed that it was very tacky, just as much as my yonex. After my warm up, I had adjusted to the grip, but during my match, for some reason it started to slip (it was 60 degrees out). I played through it and the next time I played with it, it was perfect during my match. No slipping at all. Perhaps it was a coating or something? Whatever it is, the grip worked the second time around, which is all that matters.
Longevity of Tackiness: I often keep my grips on for a very long time, and then I turn it inside out to use the other side. On the side you're supposed to use, the tackiness stayed, fading slowly, and more importantly, getting softer over time. On the reverse side, the same thing occurred, only with less tack.
Level of sweat absorption: I do not really sweat that much in general unless it it above 90 out, so I cannot really comment on this aspect of the grip because the hottest temperature I played in was 60. My concern would be the perforations for those who sweat a lot. Wouldn't sweat get caught in the holes?
Would you consider using this overgrip? As a whole, this grip is very good. I would use it only if it were cheaper than the yonex grips I currently use.
What color would you prefer for this overripe? Grips should be white!
List any additional thoughts on the overall performance: One thing I noticed was that the grip was not particularly cushioned compared to other grips that I have used. This may be a plus for those looking for a thinner feel.
Thanks to TW and Volkl for this amazing playtest!
