I was looking for an soft and ultra thick gripover. This is soft enough, but not thick. The sandy surface is not for dry hands like me. I would like to switch to Slazenger next time.

Great quality and color. Just what you need to put that grip over your old grip or replace it. Very rubbery and grippy - just like it should be.

I have two compact Shedrain umbrellas that were in perfect shape, but the handles had become annoyingly tacky. (Nothing was coming off on my hands, but it felt like something sticky was on the grips.) This wrap perfectly covered the J-shaped handles. I wrapped right over the trigger button that opens the umbrella because the wrap is so flexible that button operation is not compromised. I'm sure that I'll find other uses for this great material.

I purchased this as a lower cost alternative to baton twirling-specific grip tape. I split one roll of this tennis grip tape down the center using scissors so that it was thinner. I wrapped the center of my baton with it, leaving room on either side. It has held up very well over the past year and provides excellent grip. There was more than enough tape to wrap two 29 inch batons.

The fact that this overgrip is described as "pro soft" and scores well in Wilson's ridiculous rating system made me anxious to try this product. I'm sure it's great if it's what you're looking for, but I found the grip to be far too dry. I prefer the more traditional gel feel that sticks a bit. I don't find it to be any softer than their regular overgrips either.

When the grip on my racquet started to wear out I tried using a couple of these overgrips instead of a replacement grip. I removed the old grip and wrapped the replacement grip directly on the handle followed by a second overgrip. It feels way better than a full replacement grip, and you can customize the grip size depending on how many overgrips you use. Using two of these overgrips made the cushioning somewhere between a firm grip and an extra cushion replacement grip.

The only drawback is as another reviewer said, if your hand gets really sweaty these overgrips will start to slip. That said, I still like the cushioning and a quick wipe of my hand solves the problem.

I was surprised because the pack came with 3 overgrips!!
I put on 2 as i liked the added girth. The quality of the grip is good too. Its quite soft but not very spongy. I should have purchased a black or dark colored one though, as the gold one gets dirty within the first 1 hour of playing.

I got this overgrip thinking it would be an improved version of the Wilson Pro Overgrip, an idea helped by the fact that Wilson rates this grip as near-perfect, way better than the pro in all categories. Now that I am using one though, I am disappointed with it. As far as I can tell, the grip is not very absorbent and has absolutely no tackiness, so watch out for your racquet flying out of your hand once you start sweating. The grip is soft however, and all in all I wouldn't say that its a bad grip, I've just found that its not for me. If you're interested in this grip, start with just one three-pack and try it out before you stock up.
