RKEP Grip

G11 water blue will be more close to the right one. However, they are still not the same color.

Okay, thanks for the info. I just noticed for the colour description of G09 it is called Lavender (the one that is called 'Light Blue' for G09L). Lavender I would say is indeed the correct name for this colour ...

Got my order today!!! The G09L is soft and tacky!!! Thanks Eric!
I use to put TAAN 950 on my rackets and the G09L feels similar to that, but the thing is it is softer and longer in size.

Can we get Nitto tape in any other colours than white or black? MBS stores only white/black.. Arc10 with red grip and red string would go well with a red nitto :-)

i just grab a small pack of green/white/red/blue/yellow electrical tape at my local hardware storw works great , can just trim it if too wide for your liking.

Just put on the PowerMaster Purple Feels very tacky (as expected from earlier comments which is why I ordered the Super Softs ). A bit like the ArcSaber stock grip which I am trying to locate right now . I'm sure you sweating buckets folks will be enjoying it. Have nothing left that needs an overgrip right now so can't compare yet with the Super Softs ...

(looks close to the purple Yonex polo that KKK/TBH were wearing at the WC 2010 in Paris)

That would be "replacement grip"

Hey guys, wanted to ask, u guys put the powermaster replacement grip then put G09 overgrip on top ? Would it make the racquet grip bigger ??
It is not necessary to put the overgrip right ?

huh?

powermaster is replacement grip... you don't put anything on top of it

and g09 is overgrip... you put this directly on top of the factory grip

[avengers88]

Oh really? LOL i din know. So which one is better ? Putting the overgrip over factory grip or changing to the replacement grip ?
Cause i got both from eric dun know which one is better ?

[Squash Eric]

Just like cloth, not one that is the best but only the one could most suit your use. It depends on your personal preference. Some like put over grips on the original replacement (about 70% badminton players doing in this way) but some would rather take replacement directly.

if u r not sure...just put G09 overgrip on top of G06 Power Master replacement grip. Like i did to my BS10 and it feels good.....
if u dun like it, just take off the overgrip then...no harm

there is no such thing as "which one is better" when you are comparing replacement grip and over grip

OVERgrip is a grip that applied on a replacement grip.
this grip is used to ENLARGE your racket handle. usually it is because a player has big hand therefore big handle gives them more grip power
too big racket handle would makes you lose control (as you cannot feel the edges of your handle)

REPLACEMENT grip is used to replace the original grip and apply this grip straight to the wood
it is used when you have normal or small hand, therefore benefit from normal handle
too small racket handle would cause you losing power as you have lesser surface that you can grip thus lesser grip power

many use overgrip, but personally, I use replacement grip since my hand is not so large / long
so, it is up to you, do you have big hand? if yes, go for overgrip, if not, use replacement grip

I have tried that... But nothing comes close to the finish of Nitto(neither the default ones supplied by yonex/rkep or the electrical tape)... Guess I am spoiled by nitto... :-)

Not that I've tried it for this purpose but at least it's stretchy. Probably a bit to wide @ 1.5cm http://www.amazon.co.uk/Certified-El.../dp/B0024NKDDK

G09L Green (still kinda short actually but good thing the new colours were released to not have to go G09 regular. Of course compared to the light blue in the ccomparison pic everything is short since that one is 1400mm . But 1200mm would be nice for these like Yonex Super Grap)

[Maklike Tier]

That green on green looks AWESOME! Nice work.

*WARNING* Karakal PU Super users!

If you get the RKEP Supermaster and wrap it like you do the PU Super like I did, it will be too fat and no matter how much you squeeze, it just doesn't deform like the much, much softer PU Super.

I took mine off and re-wrapped it with just a few mm of overlap, and *shazam* racket has been TRANSFORMED!

Just in case you thought the MX80 couldn't get any better.......it just did. Amazing what happens when you can actually change your hand grip - you hit more shots with the correct hand grip and you win more points. Funny that.

[Squash Eric]

I would rather to wrap in the way which could get more gripping power
(just using G09 standard length but only long version G09L)
(and use the black finished tape attached is good enough --- but need to pull tightly to get the max gripping on the handle)
