    I need help to find thickest replacement grip on the market. So far i found only Victor GR-117 with thickness of 1.9mm (i somehow still used another extra 1.5mm replacement grip on top of this 1.9mm). I like bigger handle, probably similar size as those in tennis rackets (maybe even bigger). For sometime now, all my head-heavy rackets are wrapped with (2x) 1.6~1.9mm replacement grip plus (1x) 0.6mm overgrip, all on top of the original grip. So in total, i can say i used at least 3 layers of PU grip. I tried towel grip, but my dried-hand isn't really made for towel grip. few layers of PU/synthetic grip changed my racket BP by a lot! head-heavy racket becoming light-head.

    There was once i took off all the grips on my Kumpoo Powershot 2300H, counted them and to my surprise there were (2x) 1.5mm YY replacement grip, (1x) original grip with its plastic wrap intact, and (4x) 0.6mm YY overgrips. I never realized had put on so much layers on it. Too bad in Asia, racket's handles are not made as big as those in European market.

    I wish if there were +2.5mm badminton replacement grip out there & feather-weight, please let me know.

    Are you sure you are not playing baseball? :D :eek: What is that like G -3 :p?

    RKEP Ultimate is 2.0mm I believe, probably the thickest I know of ... before:
    Wilson Comfort Hybrid Tennis Replacement Grip. EXTRA SOFT - 2.2mm

    Maybe Karakal Kushy Grip but I can't find the thickness so far ...

    lol! it's just a matter of preference. i'll look for Wilson Comfort Hybrid. RKEP grip is kinda hard to find in China.
