Why I always have different overgrips on racquets.

I know pro players and most players stick with the same overgrip on all their racquets but I figured it's better to have options. Conditions change depending on the venue, temperature differs, humidity differs this will all influence how much my hands are sweating and different grips are needed for different levels of hand sweat.

So now in the wintertime I usually start out with a really tacky grip at the moment Head xtreme soft. This is actually the grip with the feel I prefer so I stick with this as long as it works. However after some time I sweat more so I usually change to Wilson pro or Yonex supergrap they blend the tackiness with some dry feel and works when hands are a bit sweaty. Usually I play out the rest of the session with this grip but in extreme cases and as a last backup I always carry a racquet with a tourna grip original.

This works for me anybody else with a similar setup?

I have different overgrips I use in hot, humid weather vs the cold, dry season. Also, at any given time I have three different overgrips on the three racquets I use so that I can tell them apart and keep track of the poly string hours on each of them. I have a list of absorbent and tacky overgrips that I like and I use them all.

I carry six racquets in my bag as for now two with Head xtreme soft, three with Wilson pro and one with Tourna original. The proportions will change in the summer but I always like to have the full range from tacky to dry and if it's really hot and humid I will probably add a towel grip too so I have something if even tourna fails. Tried it last summer and it worked great in the humidity.

I just play with the poly strings until the feel is off so I don't really keep track of the time.
