How long do your grips last?

I use yonex-black but it only last me 2 weeks or so.
In my opinion, I think the other colors last longer perhaps due to the amount of dye in them?

 

Or...you might just think black isn't as worn because it doesn't 'look' as worn as yellow for example used for the same amount of time, partly because dirt/discolouration doesn't occur on black grips?

Regardless of colour, when using Karakal PU Super grips, I now change them every week to two weeks, I like a tacky PU grip to be tacky.

I use towel grips on some racquets, these I change once virtually every 'session' of badminton which is 1 to 2 hours. I don't like the feel of Monsoon towel grip (I bought in the form of a coil) on my racquets once it's been used for longer than that.

Yonex towel grips last me longer, despite seeming Thinner. They're also 'less fluffy'/comfy, but...I prefer it, strangely. I like to still be able to feel the handle whatever the grip.

 

1week, i am just trying out new grips

but i think i am gonna settle

babolat woofer is a winner

its thick replacement grip, not gonna add overgrip anymore now

 

Using yonex super grab, is the only thing i've seen sold at UBC =(. Usually last me 3 days cause I'm one of those people who look like they just walked out of a shower. 3-4 hours per day 5-6 days per week.

 

I use towel grip and it normally lasts me about a month but when there's a important tournament, I change the night before.

 

Wow, a month. After a month my towel grip would be a black (originally being yellow) soggy dirty rag, if Any of it was left at all.

 

LOL Well, my hands sweat quite a bit but not that much

 

From 2 and half hours to 4 form mon to fri, 5 hours on sat.
Yonex super grap last 2 weeks average.

 

I use those cheapo synthetic kindof grips. cost around as little as S$2 each. the only down sides are not very durable but since its so cheap, i just buy a dozen of assorted colors. and 2ndly, its not that sweat absorbant so i wear a wrist band.

 

using towel and i changed my grip last week and i think i need to change it again this week.. it feels so slippery when i start sweating like mad

 

Depends really, I cant find a grip size or feel that I really like, but I always use a Yonex grip. My doubles racket has a thin Yonex grip, while the singles racket has a slightly thicker grip.

 

i am using yonex fabric grip...oh well...i change them like once a month or when it get to stink..

 

It depends on what you mean by 'last'. Some people change the grip when it gets dirty and some people change the grip when it isn't sticky any more. I change my grips roughly every 2 months when the grip loses it's stickyness, starts giving off a smell and when some of the grip starts tearing. I use Ashaway and Sintec rubber grips most of the time.

 

I use karakal pu super grip. lasts more than 2 months i use until the grip tears or is too dirty. tackiness not an issue as i use the grip with rosin bag. always stays tacky

 

Qn: wad is rosin bag?

 

i use towel grip... can last about 1 month

 

rosin bag i think is like what rock climbers use for grip.

I'm going to change one of my grips to towel grip and see how it feels

 

2 month . i using finnex super soft grip. 1 week 2 time play

 

hmm...i hav a bad impression for towel grip coz the grip will harden after ur sweat mixes with grip and left to dry...

 

they said towel grip is for those who sweats a lot in their hand... although i'm not.. but i love to use towel grip... more thicker and good for me at least to smash...

i try those normal rubber grip..the feeling aint right...
