1.0 out of 5 stars Bad racquet grip, January 24, 2011

This review is from: Wilson Premium Leather (Misc.)

This leather grip came with my new K Blade tour racquet. After playing couple of hours for 2 days, the skin of my palm was injured with this grip, this is because is leather is very soft but not tacky. It feels good in the hand when you hold it but totally uncomfortable when really playing. Does not absorb sweat and it's when the racquet starts to flip under heavy shots.

Replaced it with my favourite Wilson K Control grip.

Simply, Avoid.

I once used the cushioned, extra absorbing grips that were usually rubber. I found that I lacked the control to put shots exactly where I wanted them, which was close to the baseline. I switched to leather. I use an overgrip anyway which gives me what I need to control sweat and keep dry enough for adequate grip. The extra absorbing rubber grip with the overgrip was just too much of a "squishy" feel. I used to always use a leather grip in the days of the wood racquets because they came with them. Nowadays the racquets don't usually come stock with a leather grip. I take off the grips they come with and replace with sturdy strong leather to wrap that baby tight for a good foundation for an overgrip to accommodate. I have since stopped wondering about string and racquet types and tensions, and learned to use the uniqueness of each racquet for it's strengths. It's hard to believe that the grips is so important, but I found it truly is.
