    I'm looking to try one, just out of curiosity. What would be a good name of one?

    I used a yonex one and liked it, however it became hard and gross after playing with it for a few weeks from all the dried sweat. Since then I have made my own towel grips and it is much better than having to replace them every few weeks. There is a thread somewhere on how to make your own towel grip, but I all I did was cut a thin towel into strips, sewed the edges, then wrapped them starting from the cone down and holding it in place with a rubber band. But if you want to buy one I am sure they are all pretty much the same.

    They only have 1 type of towel grip, it says Yonex Towel Grip on the label.

    I personally prefer the Victor towel grips over the Yonex one.

    just make your own... is better.. you can choose it from vareity of style, and you can wash it, so its fresh and clean.

    I use high quality handckchief from japan, usually with Mickey mouse on my grips, and I use speical hair ties, instead of normal plastic rubber bands.

    Do you find that the towel grips affect your grip of the racquet? I mean, when you sweat, it will get super slippery?

    How long does the Victor grip last?

    I recently tried towel grips and while they are quite nice and absorb sweat amazing..,, they are definately not for me...

    I have to regrip every 1-2 weeks and they just don't feel as nice as my old Karakal grips I use....

    So i'm gonna switch to a Karakal or Wilson over grip again... I just love the tacky feeling...
