Thin, yet dense replacement grip

[blipblop]

Hey Tennis fanatics, I need your advice. Specs (mainly thickness and weight) on replacement grips are hard to come by. What I am looking for is:
-thickness similar to Babolat Skin Feel (~1.55mm?) or thinner
-heavier! Skin feel trimmed is about 12-14g. I need about 16-18g.
-not textured/contoured
-not leather
-not "just use 2-3 overgrips"

LaserFibre looks like an option, but their website appears to be dead. Prince ResiThin is also interesting, but I am concerned it won't weigh enough.

So far I am using Gamma Hi-tech, which I like as far as feel and weight, but it's a little too thick. And yes, 5 grams makes that big a difference to me. Suggestions?

Have you considered using Babolat Skin Feel after putting 4g of lead tape on the handle?

Yes, I have. And actually, for some reason I thought it wouldn't work. But when you put it so simply, I don't see why it won't. I have been known to over-complicate things.

Still interested in other options, but thanks at least now I have a plan B.

LaserFibre is really thin. Not tried Babolat, so cannot compare. I've seen overgrips meatier than that.
Next in thinnes is Volkl DNX Grip. It is lighter/thinner than other "regular" grips. Again, I would not call it "dense".

All grips which I would describe as "dense", are also, unfortunately, thick.

Lead under the handle is the way to go. Dense grips can only be found if the cow was raised on a higher then Earth gravity world. Rather then using cowhide leather, croc or alligator is denser, but good luck finding strips though you could try a high end purse/boot shop. Be pretty expensive too. :twisted:

SkinFeel plus lead is the answer. I loved the Gamma Hi-Tech but it was too thick. Skinfeel is basically a thinner version of Hi-Tech--to me anyway.

You may want to try the tourna tour grip 1.5 Mil thick and very firm.

Prince ResiThin is 1.5mm I believe.
