    In a sense, I'll have to agree with you ants.

    The material of the grip itself is quite durable. But the garter that holds the grip into place loosens up quite quickly.

    Good thing I was able to get a few Wilson rubber bands which I use to "lock" the grip into place . . . this keeps the grips from sliding around.

    Yonex cloth grip is hard to find? Well, seems pretty common to me, or at least at TPY Safra. It is also possible to get it at Sunrise. They come in box.

    I am using Bridgestone "Mickey Mouse" Grip, US$2.58/piece, but 1 piece is long enough for two rackets.

    Can someone please tell me about the yonex wave grap.

    I would like to know how comfortable it is compare to the super grap, and would the balance point of the racquet shift if I apply it on after I remove the original grip because it looks heavy.

    I've tried asking this on the other thread....

    but no one answered :rolleyes:

    Has anyone seen this kind of Yonex towel grip? Its red and its got this white strap in the middle reading 'YONEX'. To me, it looks cheap and i reckon its an imitation. My stringer gave it to me for free cause he said that he got a batch for free off his supplier or something..
    I'll chuck up a pic when my dad gets back from work cause he's got the digital camera today.. :rolleyes:

    Okay guys.. finally took the pics.. but whilst taking the pics, i noticed a primary thing that proved my first impression to be correct- its fake and cheap, lol.
    The Yonex logo isn't right - probably some sort of imitation. And i don't remember seeing anything of this design on the yonex brochures, etc.

    Ohhhh, this is the older version of yonex grip. It had now change the logo to a simple one. No wonder they give you free. Its outdated and not worth money already.
