And I need to try it again - it's been ages since I used one.

The King is quite thick, so I have to pull it tight to get to a 3.25 inch grip, and I lose some tack in doing so. If you're sensitive to differences in grip size (like me - apparently I can tell the difference between 3 1/4 and 3 3/8, which is less than half a Yonex size) it's something to consider.

hmm.. I wonder if I am really sensitive to the changes or not..

I also need to restock my supply, I will buy 6 power master and 6 king grips

I am confused.. it seems I cannot put the RKEP king and the RKEP power master together in my ebay basket?
or should I contact eric for it?

**Squash Eric** · 05-10-2012, 11:08 AM

they are same price
you could mix it but need to state it in your payment NOTE section or write an e-mail to me

If you're inclined to test, I'd throw a Nano Supersoft in there as well - I think they're 1.7 mm, the thinnest RKEP replacement grip.

done, bought 12 grips (with 3 free, 7 power master, 8 king grips)
and that cost me $43

(around £28)
it is still cheaper by karakal, but the difference is not massive

The grips come to me today
props to Eric for very fast delivery and accurate product

I asked for one white, black, and blue, 2 red, 2 orange for powermaster
and 2 black, 4 red, and 2 blue for king grip (yes as you can see, I asked for many colours)
and I got exactly what I'm ordered

I got two boxes of 24 x RKEP G08 SOFT75 racquet racket 0.75mm over grip for our badminton club, everyone seems very happy with them, personally they are too thin for me but lot of the older players prefer a thinner grip.

Anyone try the RKEP towel grips, G15? How are they?

**LD rules!** · 05-28-2012, 07:27 AM

I wonder how thick it is, thinner the better!

**Squash Eric** · 05-28-2012, 08:57 AM

yes it should feel not so thick
net weight:
YONEX reel of 10.5m 270-280g
VICTOR reel of 10m 275-285g
RKEP reel of 12m 230-240g
although RKEP looks a little longer furry but it got light weight

feedback from buyers:
2012.6.11 (from Indonesia)
sent to my customer that only use AC402EX from yonex.
1st time impression very ugly, and don't have comfort feel when gripping to racket.
But after usage 1 set felt this grip very comfort, thin and very absorb sweat.
Then using few sets, bringing back very fast drying and don't felt hard to hold at next day.

I tried an elite grip wrap on top of factory grip of victor MX60 with 20% overwrap yesterday.
very nice! the thickness is about the right for me (maybe just a very little bit too big).
And does not slip at all even i had some hand sweat trouble before.(live in Thailand where 3 season we have are hot,hot+rainy,less hot but dry. )

I've heard somewhare that victor's original grip is heavier than most replacement grip.(not so sure about this data).And i really don't know the thinkness spec of the victor original grip.
So i'd like to ask about what will change if i change underlying replacement grip from victor's factory grip to something like RKEP Power master or Ultimate? Does the weight difference noticable? And about the thinkness and softness?

RKEP G09 overgrip is very tacky. They feel very nice initially but I have very sweaty palms and as soon I get some decent amount of sweat, it gets a little slippery. I have been using the white wilson pro overgrip that I buy from Walmart. It's not as tacky as RKEP but does a better job in absorbing sweat.

I would like to try the other replacement grips from RKEP. I guess my question is how well do they absorb sweat? Which one is the best for sweaty hands?

maybe what you need now is not a new grip
what you need is a grip powder and sweat band (for your arm)
