What is your grip setup?

[Six.One.Tour.90FAN]

I know this may seem a bit of a fiddly subject but why not

For example, My Grip Setup is:
Main Grip: Head Finest Calfskin
Overgrip: 2x Wilson Pro OG
Start Point: 1 o'clock
Stretch:Stretch the first one, not on the one on top

Start point is where on the buttcap do you star the grip of, so the ridges fit in between your fingers or under them or whatever.

Stretching and Non-Stretching can make a surprisingly big difference.
Stretching your overgrip while you wrap it makes it thinner, less wider and spreads the tackiness around so it is more smooth.

Feel free to post your "setup"

Really? Doesn't your hand slip at all?

 

[russell]

Main grip: Fairway Leather grip

[Algo214]

Mainrince duratred
stretched: idk, didn't get what you meant exactly with that
no overgrip
start point: didn't get it right either but I think 12 o' clock

 

[Greek Goliath]

Really? Doesn't your hand slip at all?

Nope. My hand doesn't sweat much, so I guess that helps. I find the leather to be really tacky.

Hmm. That's interesting. Other than a match I saw of Gasquet vs. Federer from 2005, I've never seen anyone play with just bare leather. Anyways, if it works for you, then that's all that matters.

Overgrip- Wilson Pro

1-3 o'clock

Start- Bevel where your knuckle is for continental forehand grip.

 

[NadalFan1990]

Main - Wilson Leather
middle - thin layer of Guaze
overgrip - tourna 2 or Yonex Supergrap
Stretch - little to none

for those who I know are going to ask - I can barely feel any bubbles from the guaze layer

 

[Green374]

[SirGounder]

Main: TW leather 1.3 x 22 mm
Over: Tournagrip, Supergrap, Xtack
Start: I honestly don't know, never paid much attention.
Stretching: stretch the leather, stretch the overgrip

 

[russell]

Main- Head Leather
Overgrip- Gamma Grip 2, but also testing Supergrap & Duratac.
Stretch- My racquet tech installs my leather, but I pull my overgrips pretty tight.
Start- Bevel where your knuckle is for continental forehand grip.

Holy moly. What's your experience with Gamma Grip 2? When I tried this grip it died on me within a few minutes. It's very absorbent but I found the durability to be lacking.

 

[Spyre]

My Grip Setup is:
Main Grip: TW Leather
Overgrip: Babolat Pro Tour (Winter), Tournagrip (Every other time)
Start Point: 1 o'clock

[mikeler]

Main grip: Babolat Leather

Start point: 1 o'clock

[10ACE]

Main Grip: TW leather 1.3

[Mig1NC]

I really like how thin it is. It really doesn't take away from the feel of the main grip. Which is something I didn't care for with the Supergrap. To me it was too thick. It's really personal preference.

 

[origmarm]

Main - Wilson Leather
middle - thin layer of Guaze
overgrip - tourna 2 or Yonex Supergrap
Stretch - little to none

for those who I know are going to ask - I can barely feel any bubbles from the guaze layer

Out of curiousity what do you find the gauze layer adds? Does it just stop the not so tightly wrapped overgrip from slipping or similar?

 

[tennisdude083]

Main Grip: Head Hydrosorb Tour
Overgrip: Yonex Supergrap
Start Point: Assuming the plane of the stringbed is parallel to the ground, 6:00 for base grip and 11:00 for overgrip.

[dadozen]

Main: TW Leather 1.3 x 22
Overgrip: Wilson Profile( actually waiting for a 30 pack of Gamma Dermagrip - hoping it to be thinner than my current OG )
start point: 1 o'clock for main grip and 7o'clock for overgrip
stretch: HELL YEAH! my hands are actually hurt from installing two leather grips on my racquets yesterday.

 

[Al1978]

Gamma or TW leather grip + Tournagrip or Supergrap

Rather than stretch the leather as I wrap it, I flatten it using a roller before applying.

 

[phishua]

I put a Wilson Sponge Grip on my Prestiges. It feels awesome.

On the PSLs, I use the stock leather grip (Babolat), and put a blue Yonex SuperGrap on top of it. I stretch it a little, but not much. Next overgrip I will stretch more, just to keep the grip from getting too big.

 

[sargeinaz]

Main grip: Gamma Hi-tech (black)
Overgrip: wilson pro overgrip (white)
Start point: dont have one
Stretch: yes, I stretch the overgrip, but not super tight with a very slight overlap.

[OliverSimon]

Hmm. That's interesting. Other than a match I saw of Gasquet vs. Federer from 2005, I've never seen anyone play with just bare leather. Anyways, if it works for you, then that's all that matters.

[ilikephobo]

OG: Yonex Super Grap

 

[NadalFan1990]

Out of curiousity what do you find the gauze layer adds? Does it just stop the not so tightly wrapped overgrip from slipping or similar?

the grips slip less and I kind of do it so that I can flip the overgrips over and use the other side to save money. but I haven't used it quite long enough with those "loose" overgrips to have a very definitive answer for you

 

[jpknopp]

Main grip: Head finest leather grip
Overgrips: 2 White Vs original white
I use a 4 and 1/4 grip with my main racquet head speed mp 16x19

All as tight as possible
