I am about to order a lot of Yonex Super Grap(A440) in many colors, and I am just wondering how many of you guys use this grip?

If you are using it, How many (in packs) are you using in a year? and would you be interested in buying it from me around $3.5-$4.0 (a pack) ?

I am just wondering and the number I order would depend on people's demand.
(If there are not very many people using it, I may just order some for my own use.)

Of course I can ship, but I don't think the international shipping is cheap.
(I guess: the weight of 10 packs would probably cost $10+ on shipping)

My original post was intended to N.America areas, but international is also fine with me (if the shipping is low)

bluejeff,

Thanks for thinking about us at bf! However, www.tenniswarehouse.com has it for $2.99, if your shipping charges are lower than theirs shipped for maybe 8+ packs, I would be willing to buy from you.

Thanks

I was looking at that site couple days ago, but I found:
1.they are always backuping on certain ones
2. not much of choices of colors.
(but if color is not the problem, I think it is a good store with good service)

Super grap comes with so many colors and I know it's good to have as many as you can :)

(so far I have seen 12 colors)

I would like to get 5 packs if total cost including shipping is below USD25.

I used to use it..

I had to change it every week because it's lost it's stickiness immediatly. Of course, three come in a back and it cost me 8.00 CAD so (5USD?) Add it all up and I'd be using 128.00 of that grip a year however, because of tournies, it will be more. I thought it was a really expensive expense so I switch to a replacement grip which I could go for half a year with!

Yonex Super Grap is a good grip if you're willing to change it frequently. I found black to be quite durable out of all the colours. You'll get what I'm saying after you experienced it yourself.

I have mine (black) on my MP99 since September till now and it is still in a very good shape. The reason for that is probably because I don't hold my racket very tight while I play though. :)

i myself don't use this grip anymore. the grip loses its tackyness after the first week and it wears away very quickly.

Shouldn't you see signs of wear downed grip then? Since it's will flick back and fourth and possibly grip against your skin?

wear ? no , not really. In fact, I got my super grap from Taiwan, and it's in a new packing (three individual small rolls packing in one)

kind of like this:
----
O
OO
----

and the store told me it's the "newer" ones......and perhaps it has something to do with the durability? I am not certain.

The price includes shipping or not? If yeah, I think I might consider this as a good deal. However, if I still need to pay for the shipping, then, the price might go up another 30-40%.

Generally, I change overgrip about once per 2-3 months. Since i rountinly using 2-3 main rackets, I will say, I am done with one piece for 40-50 hrs of playing time (1 month).

Ordered 6 packs (18 pieces) in August, still have about half left.
