    I used to use the Karakal Peachy, which is incredibly thin (about 0.6mm) - barely adds anything to the grip diameter.

    They come in black, salmon pink, and grey, but they are very difficult to get hold of (in the UK, at least).

    if you think the Yonex Super Grap is big then why don't you cut the wood on your grip to make it smaller or buy a smaller grip size racket?

    YinLoung, what you can do is to take out the original manufacturer grip, and put the overgrip on the wood. if that doesnt' work for you still, then u can use rough sand paper to size down the wood handle. supergrap is actually thin to medium thickness. the x-tra tack is probably a little thinner.

    Is super grap thin enough to be used as replacement grip? cause i'm thinking of using it as replacement & have a overgrip over it.

    yes, you can do that. as long as you are comfortable with it.
    after removing the original grip, place a layer of electrical tape.
    then the super grap, then any overgrip. super grap is also an overgrip.

    thanks. my idea was to use the super grap in replacement of the electrical tape. most of the time i use a G4 size with 1 medium thick overgrip. & because i replaces the overgrip very fast, i was thinking of getting something durable for the base. i noticed the stock grip on my AT900 comes off every easily everytime i changed a overgrip.

    as in applying electrical tape over the stock grip 1st? i'm thinking of removing the stock grip, put the grap to act like a electrical tape. I don't if it's suitable. :eek:

    He's talking about applying electrical tape at the cone area not wrapping the grip in electrical tape.
