    totally agree, I personally love it, although, you have to cut it short for it to fit perfectly.

    yup, wilson's pretty nice dry feel too. very thin and when you wrap around your racket it stretched and feels very tactile. used to buy them for rm8 each and unfortunately i found it selling for rm5.5 each after i bought 20 RKEP grips :crying:

    Head Control Overgrip - $4 for 3
    Durability: lasted only 1 tournament (maybe 5-6 matches?) before tearing (still useable though).
    Thickness: Thinness is the more appropriate word here. Thinner than super grap for sure. Don't know exactly.
    Tack: Bout the same as super grap, degrades faster than super grap
    Absorbency: Hands don't sweat :p
    Length: Bit shorter than super grap
    Overall poor value, but decent if you switch grips like every 2 sessions.

    Yonex Super Grap
    Hmm...30 pack (black) from badminton alley is less tacky but lasts far longer than white 3 pack from royal...Also the black one is spongier.

    anyone use this grip before?

    I usually prefer Gamma, but lately I've been picking up the Yonex Supergrap, because it's a couple bucks cheaper ($3.99) at my local racquet shop. I tried Tournagrip, because of the commercials on the Tennis Channel, where some pros (can't remember which...Isner and Bryan bros.?) talk about how they've always used it and say that "all the pros in the locker room use Tournagrip". I didn't think it was all that great, though. Not as good as Gamma, at least. I've used the Wilson overgrip, too, and that seemed to be pretty good.

    vs is not as tacky as the babolat proteam Tacky.. 220% absorption...

    its strange but no one seem to have talked about the tacky overgrip version here in this forum.. i've been using them for quite a while and its my personnal "best" preferred tacky grip..

    so right now i use a karakal PU as the main grip for cushioning and a layer of the overgrip stretched thinly over it for the grip characteristics

    i prefer the wilson pro overgrips to the yonex supergrap even though everyone on here seems to slate the wilson over grip.

    Also tried lining over grip and the babolot overgrip and went straight back to the wilson as I prefered it.

    I've been using a brand called "Yormeet" apparently they're only available in china, it's like a little over $1 each, and I like it a lot, I have like 10 left, after that I'll probably look into RKEP

    I love the Kimony KGT-102/106 but they are quite expensive where i am. I've been using RKEP G09 lately, and they are quite good.
