    I want to try Victor rubber grip with with good price.
    I don't really mind quality or durability if I can get cheaper price due to Victor is good brand.
    I tried a lot of grips from different brand but I don't suit with towel grip.
    I usually use AC 102 is good but bad durability for me

    I use Victors GR262 pu grips. Basically the equivalent of YYs AC 102 super grap.

    V grip isn't as tacky out of the package as YY but it lasts so much longer. Where as YY starts to wear off and almost roll off and break apart when overused.

    V grip is far more durable, lasts longer and comfier.

    Downside is because it's comfier it is thicker. So it doesn't shape as easily when freshly gripping and I find you need to pull it tighter because of the thickness.

    I don't think I will ever go back to YY pu grips. You pay more for them and they just don't last as long.

    Is durability worth for the price you paid?
    It's like 1.5-1.75 if I compare both price

    Might depend on where you live. Here in Canada for V grip it's $3-$3.35/each. For YY grip it's $3.40-$3.75/each.

    I would say the V grip lasts 3x longer, possibly more. And it's cheaper. No brainer here.

    I used to love YY AC102. But I could burn through 1 grip in a week with heavy play. If I was playing casually at club multiple times a week it may last a month. When I went to V grip, I'm going on 4 months in club play on the same racket. It still has small life left.

    Try Wilson Pro Comfort. Abit more expensive than Yonex but grippiness last longer & more durable. Im regripping less often than when using YY.

    Btw there is also perforated version which is thinner & dry feel.

    There is 262-3 which is just a 3 pack of 262s. There is 236 which is totally different style than 262.

    i've tried the GR-233, feels soft and nice but really not very durable at all. will try the 262 next.

    I tried a few different grips and found my favorite with the GR233 from Victor.
    Soft feel, good grip but not too sticky and most importantly very good moisture absorbency. The GR253 is more durable, but i cant go a full game without changing rackets due to sweaty hands.
    It all depends if you are fine with changing grips regulary. I am, because its also a hygiene issue to me.
    Thanks also for the Wilson recommendation, ill will try a few tennis brands aswell.
