    Default Yonex overgrips

    Hey guys, im looking for the best overgrip. Currently I am using the Super Grap except I make it like the wave by folding it over to get that bumpiness, the tackiness, or grip is good for like 2 hours of practice for me, then it rips and its useless, I was wondering if the moist grip, or the which grip is the best for me. Maybe a review of all the yonex grips currently would be very helpful. I am looking at these currently AC104EX (Wave Grap), AC105EX (Mesh Grap), AC133EX (Strong Grap), AC143 (Tacky Fit Grap), AC148EX (Moist Super Grip). I think I have used the Moist Super Grap that came with my Arc 10 Peter Gade, Im not sure, however I need a grip thats tacky like the Super Grap in the beginning, can handle a lot of sweat and stay tacky, and is very durable. Tackiness is not really a big deal as long as the racket doesnt slip.

    Haha, yay someone who agrees with me that the super grap sucks . In my opinion, the wave grap is the best from Yonex as it's tacky, comfortable, and quite durable. If you want a REALLY tacky grip (from Yonex) the strong grap is great. I thought it was going to rip my hand off! However it doesn't last very long... maybe a bit more durable than the super grap. Currently I use RKEP grips and they're actually very nice. I recommend the Power master and King grip; they are both tacky (the king grip is extremely tacky so beware?). They are also the most durable grips I have used so far but they are replacement grips; not over grips.

    I have never tried a yonex grip that doesn't suck.

    Try RKEP G09. Beats every yonex grip by a big margin.

    Agree. Can't go wrong with the RKEP G09

    with 102EX, you see signs of wear already after a few games. Karakal overgrips work much better for me.

    I'm using AC102EX as well. Don't stretch it too much while wrapping, wrap it a bit more loose, then it's longer tacky.
    Changing Overgrip every 3 weeks, think that's okay.
