Why a Replacement Grip?

Grips are designed to do three essential things for your tennis racquet.

Help Prevent Twisting

As tennis is one of those sports where almost every player will sweat, if the handle is sliding around while you are trying to hit the ball, the result will be poor shots.  Getting a tacky tennis grip will limit this problem by absorbing perspiration.

A Soft Yet Firm Feel

Leather grips or even synthetic materials are a thin product. The surface will get brittle and not have the comfort you want as your fingers come in contact with the racquet.

Cushioning for Vibration

Racquets are products with all kinds of technology to dampen vibrations that occur as strings strike the ball. You may find you want new tennis grips regularly if you have arm or elbow issues.

Replacement Grips vs. Overgrips

The big issue here is that overgrips go on top of the grip. This will make the size of your racquet's grip larger. If that is your intent, then an overgrip is best

There are options as you search the different type of overgrips made by different brands. Thicknesses will vary so shop carefully.

What are the Best Brands for Grips?

There is no such thing as a men's grip vs. a women's grip. There are several brands whose reviews are favorable. Wilson, Head, and Babolat should be on your menu to shop.

Price of Grips

High quality grips like Head, Babolat, and Wilson all have a price under $10.00. Shop for multi-packs as this type of packaging will save you money. A pro player will change grips every match and sometimes during a match so stock up on these items as you will use them too. 

Replacing Tennis Grip 

It is very easy to remove used grips and to apply your purchase. There are many videos on line on how to apply grips.
