    Hey i used to only use towel grips but now I find that they just get hardened easily and also smell bad so I started using the Yonex Graps. So what do you guys/Gals use?

    Japanese grips

    one by Mizuno, one by Kimony.

    Mizuno has the slight edge if comparing which has better grip with a sweaty hand.
    Kinomy has the edge for feel.

    So I have both:)

    an overgrip that can last a while (perferably at least a month)...sweat absorbing but will be grippy/sticky still...and black so the sweat won't show:D

    I used to use those cheap overgrips which I change approx. every 3 wks, then shifted to a Yonex overgrip. I first tried the Velvetec, which I found very good since it remained dry even after 3 hours of training. I replaced it with a Yonex Aerotec, a tacky grip but became slippery when wet so I shifted back to the Velvetec. TRY IT!

    I use towel grip made by Victor. I get it in rolls and can get about 25 (just a guess) wraps out of it. This way it costs me just over CAN$1 per wrap. Depending on how much your hand sweats, the grip will need changing more often. One thing I do is to brush it out with a stiff toothbrush after playing. It seems to prolong the life of the grip and it won't get hard and crusty quite so fast.

    i think yonex Super Grap is good for only a week then it gets dirty and the tackiness fades.
    MY favorite is Pointfore Supreme, its very durable it doesn't get that dirty and its stays tacky.
    If you like the flashiness of the color of your bright grip without the dirt, then look towards Winex

    I'd have to agree about the Yonex Super Grap is really nice grip at first but after a week or two it loses its tackiness and any light colour would get dirty. I like white before it turned like grey :) Yellow before you see dirt marks hehe!

    I use Karakal Kushy Grip now. It still feels very tacky and sticky after several weeks of use and I just love the feel of it.

    I really like the pointfore pu replacement grips. Nice and bright colours, very tacky and comfortable.
