OK...This is low-down...I have big hands and I sweat easily...and I used to have the Yonex Gel (over?)Grip when I played in Denmark...But it is nowhere to find here in the States, WTF! All I can find are the thin Super duper-who-cares-when-you-have-big-hands grips. I read that some of you use tennis grips...So I would like to know: 1. If you know where to buy this Yonex gel grip and 2. if not, which other badminton grip is worth the while for players with big sweaty non-gross hands???? And finally 3. if all this fails, which tennis grip is the best for sweaty people??? Thanks a LOT! Mads
To absorb sweat, I think you should try overgrip or towel grip (wash / change often). Yeah, tennis grips are fine with badminton rackets. Either overlap more, or cut the extra length when you are done with the wraping. Take a look at www.tennis-warehouse.com, they have a lot of choices in grips, as well as reviews.
Gel Grip? I have never heard of it before..... Can you show us a picture (if you still have any left, say, on the old racquets) I think as long as you change grips often, you should be OK.
