RKEP Grip

*click to see the picture fully.


Went through the entire grip sides in one session even though I was rotating my 9900 and 90 in between games. G08 is definitely not for me and I'll stick with G09's / G10's

 

I have a few worn G08 grips and the texture is not like your image. Maybe a color difference? I have black and red. Even worn, my gG08s are just fine. I have noticed, your hand has to be wet for the grip to work well. If your hand is dry, the G08 is probably not for you.

 

It is quite sad since I absolutely loved the bright pink it came in as compared to the more subtle color choice for G09's. Texture was completely smooth before the session. Most likely because of my hand and the temperature being cold here now.

Recently tried some G08. And I don't find them as good as G10 and G11. Less tacky.



I do love the G11. Really great for me, with this much tackyness, because my hands are very slippery, and until now, never found something better than G11, even with other brands.

 

The G08 is only excels when your hand is wet (at least for me). If dry, it not so great for overall grip. If I had dry hands, I would definitely prefer G09 (Elite) and G10/G11 (Wet Tape no holes/Wet Tape with holes).

With respect to tackiness on the G09 vs. G10 /G11, it's personal preference. I have some friends that prefer the G09 and others prefer the G10/G11.

Regardless, for me, all are excellent.

 

Which model of rkep grip on photo?
I suggest it's thick Supersoft grip.
It's my racket, I wrap long ago.

 

G9/10 likely. G1 supersoft is 1.7mm thick and that looks less than 1mm thick.

 

I too thought that it g09. Then I wrapped another racket g09 and different very big.
Later I post a photo or little unwrapped grip from Victor.

 

So is the consensus that G08 is the best one for sweaty hands?

 

I personally ‘prefer’ g09 over g08 but mostly because my hands destroy g08’s.

Sweaty environment here as well with summers peaking at almost 50 degree Celsius.

 

Thanks. It's difficult to decide because I almost always have sweaty hands (even when not playing) but can't get these grips here so I would have to order a pack of 30 to justify the shipping cost. G08 or G09.. hmm..

 

Order 15 of each. Either way, you won't regret it.

 

Visor,
I start unwrapped grip and I find out that on this racket only 1 grip. However thickness as if 2 grips.

 

Then likely it's a replacement grip (G01 or G05) instead of over grip.

 

Any way to get a sample of G10/G11 to try before purchasing? I'm in the GTA

 

Just ordered 15 of each directly from Eric. +1 for the amazing price.

 

If anyone wants to set up a group buy in the GTA let me know!!!

 

Can someone explain the grasp feel scale to me in this context? I understand what is the grasp, but what would it mean for my racket handle?

As a non native english speaker, I have some difficulties understanding this scale.

 

Do you mean tackiness or softness?

 

Softness
