Although not totally the same hand feel, I should say this is RKEP best ever replacement grip

Guess I should dig up Dink's earlier review, hoping there's a spongy replacement grip in the RKEP bunch

G09 is like a karakal super pu but in an overgrip form. Otherwise the Ultimate grip from RKEP is very similar to the karakal super PU.

my bad, should have mentioned that i was comparing them in terms of their tackiness/grip.

POWER MASTER could offer many colors in the future if you guy could keep on support this grip by purchase more.......

Anyone in Markham, Canada interested in the regular G09 ELITE grips?

Eric accidently sent me the wrong grips (I ordered the G09L instead). So I'm just trying to help him out.
This is for a shipment of 24pcs G09 - various colors.
Price including shipping is US$ 22.45 - you pay this to Eric and then he'll tell me to pass it to you.

Please PM me for more info.
Thanks.

Hi all ....

Based on recommendations from fellow players here, and by the accolades given to Eric from Squash Mart for his impeccable service, i just placed an order for the KING 2.0mm grips.

I just tried the RKEP Ultimate grip from a free sample I got from singnflip4life along with some Karakal PU super grips I purchased. It felt almost exactly the same except I think it dealt with sweaty hands a little better, though I still had a miniscule amount of slipperiness. However I didn't feel it was enough to hinder my performance when I needed to grip the racket so it's not that significant.I know that I tend to stretch replacement grips when gripping because I like thin grips, so I don't know how much of an impact that had on the sweat-handling capabilities of the grip. Initial tackiness is great though, about the same as the Karakal which I like.

I'll have to try the Power Master G06 grip next to see how it compares to the Ultimate G05. I would still like a grip that handles my sweaty hands better because I consider myself on the far side of the spectrum when it comes to sweaty hands.

There haven't been many posts comparing the two, but would the Power Master replacement grip be better at handling sweaty hands despite the reduced tackiness from what I've ready?

I will try the power master if I like the ultimate
I will try the ultimate that I got from Mark
and if it feels good, maybe I will order power master along with ultimate
I really like the orange power master

**Benwilluk** · 03-18-2011, 10:12 AM

Following the reviews I have just placed an order for 20 of the Power Master grips in various colours - can't wait to grip my PP Precision in the green - will look awesome!

**wanchai97** · 03-21-2011, 12:56 PM

Ordered some G09s and they took about 10 days to get to US. Thumbs up to Eric for excellent customer service.

**stogguul** · 03-21-2011, 01:36 PM

The issue has been resolved. Grips no longer available.

I just applied a G11 grip to my racquet and I agree with you that I would like to see the reverse side improved as well, but its because I'm cheap and I like to flip the grip to the other side once one side is used up XD lol

Yonex supergrap is good because both sides are the same tacky-ness so I can easily flip it over after one side is used up to extend the life of it

But I don't understand what you mean by that you are not used to overlays, lol can u explain that to me?

**monticore** · 03-21-2011, 05:46 PM

i think he means he doesn;t use any overlap so if the underside isn;t sticky it moves.

I think I'm being overly demanding, to have considered the reversed side a dealbreaker.

After all, the preference of grip is pretty subjective.

For the awesome prices of these RKEP grips, I think I must force myself to adapt to the G09.

Let's see how it goes!

**monticore** · 03-21-2011, 08:26 PM

i switched between the power master and ultimate again tonight and i think i prefer the power master. seems softer and i seem to need less grip pressure to keep racquet from twisting in my hands.
