    Got G09 couple of months back through my wife... supply was running low, so ordered some G10 loot from Eric!

    Ordered this morning, now it's on its way. :D

    Having played with G10 for a month, there's no going back to G09 for me. Super tacky and comfortable. However not any noticeably better than G09 at sweat absorption.

    i think the only difference is the thickness.

    I agree,

    will be ordering a fair amount of G10s when I run out of my assorted rkep grips from my last order.

    If I didn't have a massive load of Yonex Super Graps right now I'd be jumping all over the RKEP G10s. I'm extremely intrigued by them, along with the G08 and G11. Soon...

    I ordered some super graps once again because it was a too long of a wait for G10, after I'm alternating back to G10 for sure probably all black :), although supergraps durability is pretty much second to none.

    I think the supergrap has a tad more tackiness than the G10 but not by much.

    G10 definitely outshines the supergrap in durability. It's been on one of my racquets for over 3 weeks and still looks fresh while the supergrap would've look like worn out leather, suede-like.. lol

    Really? :0 but g10 the cushion is way better not going to lie. I have ripped some of my G10 grip from smashing lots. But super grap does look ugly when it's worn up

    How is the tackiness/sweet adsorption of G10 vs G11, other than the breathing holes in the latter?

    (I actually ordered G11; typo in my previous post due to overwhelming excitement :p)

    Same sweat non absorption. I can see that it'll be a problem when summer comes. G10 is tackler and thicker and softer.

    Thanks Visor for your feedback. And I thought all along G11 = G10 but with holes... eeks. :)

    It is! Just that the holes makes the material thinner and less tacky because of... well, holes= less material. :p

    G08 laughs in the face of sweaty hands! It does seem thinner after stretching to fit it a second time too so feels similar thickness to G10 to me.

    Well my opinion on G-10 it doesn't really have that cushiony feeling G-10 does although it does stretch more then G-10 due to the holes. But it feels more tacky. The appearance is odd since some black spots are seen.
