RKEP Grip

[khmaiboi92]

So, I just checked bp shifts on a few different coloured elite grips, all wrapped exactly the same way up to the cone.

Compared to white,

red shifts bp by 5mm lighter
gray 4mm lighter
black, light blue 3mm lighter
pink 2mm lighter

Meaning that red is the heaviest of these colours above and white is the lightest. (I was surprised that gray weighs a tad more than black.)

So keep these points in mind when choosing your colours as that will affect your final bp to some degree, especially if you frequently switch between red and white.

Thanks for the info visor.

Could you possibly test yellow Visor? I'm currently thinking of going for a BG66UM yellow with yellow grip colour combo lol.

I was about to ask the same thing. :]

Sorry guys, sold off my last yellow, dark blue and green ones last week.

Yes I agree 100% with this. With the rackets I have the bp shifts according to what visor has put. I only have pink/white/blue grips tho so someone else has to do a test with the other colors.

Ahh man. Any chance you'll get some more any time soon?

hehehe, package from eric to come soon

I have just about all the colors of elite over grips (for my badminton store). If you guys would like, I could measure their weight for you all.

Yes please, especially yellow!

Actually, it'd be best if you could wrap each one up on the handle and measure the bp shift, relative to white. This way is more sensitive and accurate than weighing each colour individually because most weigh scales are only sensitive and accurate to 0.5g which is not good enough for our purposes.

Weighing them would give an indication as well mind. In-fact, just holding a White Elite grip, and then holding a Red Elite grip, I can actually feel the weight difference just in the palm of my hand. Very strange. Hope someone measures yellow soon

Those are some pretty sensitive hands to differentiate a 2 gram difference. For that matter I'm grabbing some yellow grips instead of red now that I've heard about this. That and I like yellow grips anyway =)

Not really. There is a noticeable difference. Are you sure the difference is only 2 grams? I'm talking about the entire grips still in the pack mind, not on the end of a racket.

Yes, someone weighed them red 9g, white 7g. I sincerely doubt you can distinguish 2g difference with your hands.

To test yourself, try doing it with your eyes closed. Shuffle the two colours between the 2 hands and see if you can consistently tell which is red or white. No peeking!

here are the measurements!

i don't have large amount of grip so the quantity being weighed varies. but it should give a good indication.

purple: 8.51g
red: 9.01g
pink: 8.35g
green: 9.66g
black: 8.17g
gray: 8.72g
white: 7.7g

i don't have any yellows. Janet took them all!


so there you go.

green is the heaviest at 9.66 grams while white is the lightest at 7.7 grams

Just did a blind test. Out of 5 tries (sometimes I question my own sanity) I guessed which was red every time. Either I have very sensitive hands or it really is noticeable. It's a marginal difference but you can tell, just try it yourself now Visor

Awesome work Kwun, but no yellow

Thanx kwun!

Now get to work on the mx80 review!

two pages already. writing review is hard work!!!!

Btw kwun, did you make sure that the grips were fully on the weigh pan and did not rest on the sides of the scale? A few grips appear to be awfully close in those pics.
