    Just curious to know if anyone have tried Wilson or Victor Towel grips before? If so, how do they compare to the Yonex towel grips? Thanks

    Victor compared to the regular YY towel is the same to me.

    YY also has one that's extremely thin, I believe it's called the Soft Towel Grip Clean.

    For those who use towel grips, do you use the grip powder as well?

    I know that Yonex has two different ones, im assuming that the more widely used one is the more "cushioned" one, which isnt the super thin one?

    Yes. Since I sweat a lot my towel grip tends to become slippery. I either change my racquet or use the a grip powder.

    Hey BennyC, I hope you don't mind me writing the reply to your pm to this thread.

    Babolat towel grips are indeed thick and cushiony too. The only problem is that they're not very durable, at least for me. Anyway, they absorb the vibration the best cause they're very thick (rather, optimally thick).

    I have never tried Yonex towel grips actually, so I can't really give an input concerning that. I've tried Victor's however, and I think they're not as thick nor as durable as those of Babolat's. They're a bit cheaper, but not as good for me as Babolat's.

    Babolat's towel grip all the way for me. I don't think towel grips are that different from each other anyway though, find what you like best.

    Hope this helps.

    Some towel grips are a bit different from others( ie: Black Knight compared to all other ones with the black strip) but it seems that the babolot ones seem pretty good =]. Have any idea where i can buy them online? kekeke*
