    That's not gross. Now this is gross: my friend doesn't use overgrip and the original grip on his VTZF had blackish pinkish mold discolouration on it! :eek:

    Yeah, that's from diving.

    Yeah, imagine how difficult it was for me to put a G09 overgrip on it... without touching that moldy handle... :p

    Even those would need to be incinerated after the job is done. I can't stand dirty grips. The moment mine turn remotely black I toss them out

    Ok I've just realized that the new-style RKEP towel grips (short fur) are too heavy for my liking. I have tried minimal overlap but they still take my rackets up to ~100g which for me is too slow for men's doubles and defence.

    I have one old-style RKEP towel grip left (long fur) and minimal overlap puts my rackets at 92g which is much more comfortable.

    I realized most RKEP grips are considerably heavier than grips from other brands. I know more material usually means better durability etc but does anyone else feel that a lighter RKEP grip would be useful?

    never heard of overlapping when using towel grip, anyone would be more concerned about the extra girth than the static weight of the grip.

    When I say minimal overlap, I meant practically no overlap.
