Dinker Dan's Over Grip Review

[NoName1225]

has anyone tried the Yonex Ti 1000 or 2000 or 3000 grips? I see them on mybadmintonstore and i'm not sure if i want to buy one or not, as of NOW i kinda want one cuz I'm using the Gamma Supreme, and it's too thick for me (I use about a little more than half the grip) and it's realllllly sticky.

I went looking for some overgrips and came across some that are not on the list? They were black knight ones that came in orange, black and white.

Can anyone verify these are any good?

I've seen that being sold around in Japan before. Wasnt really tacky IMO, when I tried a fellow club member's racquet with this grip.

other than lack of tackiness, everything else seem fine.
compare to my regular overgrip, kimony 100
1. lack of tack
2. not value for money
3. softer than kimony

Does anyone know where I can find RSL overgrip? I found them at SGVBC 2 years ago and i finally used up all of my RSL grips. I went back to SGVBC a few day ago and they only sell Yonex now.

Hey DinkALot,

Did you use the Whatagrip regular or thick grip?

I bought the thick but now I'm worried that it will be too thick

Are we allowed to plug vendors? I found a site that has lots of tennis grips and free shipping (unlike the $5-9 most other sites were charging). They shipping my grip quite quickly.

If you buy about 70 of them you can get free shipping from squashgear.com (have to pass $199 to get free shipping to Canada)

They have the PU Supergrip and Point 75 but not the Nano 60.

Go find some friends

lol, problem is i might not liek it *which i kind of doubt* im currently using yonex's wave grip, and im less than satisfied with its durability/tackiness, one grip starts flaking after a week or two

Ok, I was being a smarta$$.

You can get the Karakal PU Super for about $6 (including shipping) each on ebay.ca.

Or the official Karakal North American Distributer is:

KARAKAL NORTH AMERICA
110 MARGARET ANNE DRIVE
SITE 5 D4 RR # 3
CARP
Tel: 1 613 839 2657
Email: karakal@magma.ca


Not really close to you, but they may know someone in the Toronto area.

Also http://www.monctonsquash.ca/Pro-shop.htm sells PU Super and Nano 60 but I don't know if they ship outside the Moncton area.

One more suggestion. Squashgear.com will ship the Karakal PU Super or Point 75 to Toronto for $4. That's only $0.05 more than shipping to the US. If you can't find a local provider you can get one PU Super and 3 Point 75's to try out for about $13 (that's US but the exchange rate is currently 1 USD = 1.01854 CAN)

I'm going to buy one of each myself to try out

[andrew chan]

swt, thanks let me know how u liek them
