I've used these grips before and really like them. They work better than the white Wilson over grips. I have very sweaty hands when I play, so I also use a rosin bag or Prince dry grip lotion. The Wilson grips get mushy when they get moist, These blue grips retain the moisture better and last longer.
As some other reviewer posted, though, these particular grips that are shipped seem old. I was removing the plastic off of one of them and half of the grip went along with it. They seem very old. So far, I've gone through about 5 grips, but two of those were useless because most of the grip stayed with the protective tape covering.
I also bought several of these packages and am disappointed. The same grips at Academy or the tennis club I go to seem fresher and better quality. I realize it's the same maker, but these just seem like old stock.

Having broken more than one expensive racket; when serving the racket would fly out of my sweaty hand and smash into the hard court breaking the frame. Years ago when this used to happen I was using leather replacement grips, but since I've changed over to this heavy paper grip I have not had a racket leave my hand. So the cost of having to replace the grip often is worth it for me because I save on replacing expensive rackets. The ones that I use now are so old I couldn't replace them anyway so that's even more reason to protect my investment. The grips get dirty and have to be replaced often so it makes more sense to buy the 10 pack to save money. Another way I save money is to flip the grip and use the reverse side as a fresh grip. So rather than tape the grip down with the supplied tape, I just use the rubber grip band that is found on some rackets. For me there's something psychological about playing with a nice new grip so I often change the grip for important matches. I find that I prefer the feel of heavy paper over leather and would still use the product even if I didn't have to worry about breaking rackets. I've seen other similar products, but I like this one so much that I haven't wanted to try out anything else.

I have tried about 10 different overgrip products, including Wilson, Prince and Gamma etc, this one is the best.
I like the feel the most. The only minor drawback could be the inferior durability.

This is the best grip tape out there, I've used it for years and the material hasn't changed at all. Very little rubbing off and just the right amount of grip to keep me focused on the game.

Great product, have used for many years. Especially great during hot Summer months because sweat does not make grip slippery like some of the other overgrips I have used in the past.

This is the only grip I can use in the heat and humidity. It lasts me for weeks, feels even better and has great traction once its worn in a bit.

While it lasts, the grip is great, but don't expect to use it for more than a couple of matches. It degrades really fast, specially if you sweat a lot or if you hit the ball hard.
The price is good, but what really bothers me is to replace it once a week.

If you sweat quite a bit, like I do, this grip will feel really good for a couple of sets straight in the beginning. I found out I need to change it every month or so, so 10 grips will last me for a whole year. It's also washable and you can use it on both sides if you want to get maximum durability from it. Great feeling!

Purchased this item about 8 months ago. Now after trying a second package the grip tape is old and coming apart (rubbing off) on your hand. Must have shipped old stock. Very disappointed as I bought 30 grips and after using the first package it seems the rest will be throw aways. Watch out from seller sending old stock thats beyond shelf life.

I play tennis a couple times a week at a 3.5+ level. These are the best grips I have found especially at the price approximately $1/grip. I use a 4 1/2 size grip and have made the mistake in the past of buying the regular sized "Unique Tourna Original Dry Feel Tennis Grips" so be sure to buy the Extra Long version as the original size won't be long enough. Regular size would probably fit a junior size grip. If you find you lose a good grip due to perspiration then these are the choice for you.
