Dinkalot....hope to see ur guide soon....i also need to know weather the way i grip and remove grip is correct or wrong...
I agree with Dan, I've been playing with karakal PU supergrip for 2 weeks now, and it's great! I used to use to use towel, because regular supergrip (yonex or wilson pro) just didn't last. These go on for ages. And a bonus for us weirdos, if you pull tight you can actually wrap it around the shaft (and that with a replacementgrip!)
i just picked up some wilson ultra wrap on a run to target. it feels a lot more plasticy than last time i tried it. It was super cheap at a $3/3pack. Maybe they changed their formula.
I've never seen it in a store here, but there are a couple places you can get it online. By far the best choice is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ksid=p3907.m29&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=1 5 Karakal PU Super or 10 Karakal Nano60, Point75 or Point40 for $10 with free shipping. I bought some PU Super and it arrived very quickly. Good communication from the seller also.
I want to order some grips, but what are the differences between the PU Super grip vs the Point 75, Nano 60, and Point 40?
thickness of the grip. .75 .60 .40 mm the yonex supergrap should be .60 if i remember correctly. pls correct me if i m wrong. i personally like thin to medium grip. i used the .75 is a little too thick for me. replacement is quite a bit more thicker than .75mm. of course replacement grip must be thicker. hope that helps, illustionistpro.
PU Super Rocks! You can check DinkALot's grip review on page one for more info on the PU Super, Point75 and Nano60. I should point out that the PU Super is a replacement grip not technically an overgrip. It's a lot thicker but it has such an amazing feel that recently I've been removing my stock grip, putting on one layer of overgrip over the bare wooden handle and then putting the PU Super over the top (basically switching the order because I like feel of the PU Super but putting it over a stock grip makes the handle too big). PU Super is also excellent for sweaty players. Good absorbtion and I don't feel my hand slipping on the racquet. I've tried about a dozen different grips and I haven't found anything that I like as much.
I've never used either one (just the Point75 and PU Super) but I suspect it's going to partially matter how thick you like your grip. But since DinkALot rated the Nano60 as one of the best grips he ever tried, I'd choose that one. Or see if they'll send you 5 of each. Same price from giadinhsports on ebay.
I have recently tried Karakal nano 60 and PU super grip, both bought from ebay. Both are very good. Thanks for the recommendation. I actually use nano 60 as a replacement grip (i.e. w/o the stock grip) and it still works fine. I do that so the grip will not be too big. For your information, the PU super grip will increase the grip size by 3/8" and the nano 60 by 2/8".
karakal pu grip is just epic win. Though i put it over my previous grip and is to tacky and big now to change to backhand grip fast
If you find that the PU Super is too thick, try pulling it bit when you wrap the tape. It will get stretch and get thinner. You'll lose some of the absorbtion qualities but keep all of the wonderful tackiness and feel.
how long do the karakal nano 60 and the replacement PU super last? my yy super grap only lasts about 1-2 month at most before it starts to bother me.
I can no longer recommend Karakal nano 60. First I found it having good touch feel. But after I used it, I found the color (blue) fading and also my holding hand became colored. It continued so after three trials (days). I have since switched to using Yonex. Karakal PU super grip seems not having this problem, though. I bought the Karakal overgrip from ebay. I do not now what went wrong.
Interesting. I've seen a kinda similar effect on the Karakal Duo (is like PU Super but it's two colors) where the darker color bleeds onto the lighter one after a couple of uses. It doesn't end up on my hand though.
