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
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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.[/FONT][/FONT]
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?
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]RKEP G09 overgrip is very tacky. They feel very nice [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]initially[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] 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 [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]wilson pro overgrip that I buy from Walmart. It's not as tacky as RKEP but does a better job in absorbing sweat.[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]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?[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]ren[/FONT]
maybe what you need now is not a new grip what you need is a grip powder and sweat band (for your arm)
I do not have sweat running down my arm so I don't think sweat band will help. I will try the grip powder.
The towel grips (g15) eric sells are quite good, they absorb sweat and dry quite quickly, also it is very cheap and value for money. so, i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys using towel grips.
I've been using the RKEP Elite G09 for awhile. I grip upside down, so that the sticky part ends up at the cone area. However, the only problem I have with that, unlike other grips, example: super grap, the sticky part won't stick at all! It always ends up falling off and unravelling my grip job. I do not like using the black finishing tape at all lol Is there a way to combat this?
not that thick if applied directly to wood, but thick enough to be comfortable, but thin enough to allow changing the racket face easily for deception
Any chance you can compare it to Yonex AC402/Victor/Ashaway/Yehlex thickness, these are all different I'm just wondering which it's similar to.
haven't tried any other brands, was using synthetic grips before i started sweating alot in my hand and losing grip
I add more double sided tape at the end so that it stays, and I've also heard of others using a dab of super/instant glue there.
double sided tape.. I think ima try that. My friend told me to use super glue as well, but isn't that a pain to take off? lol
Oh, use super glue only to stick the tape end back onto the grip itself... not onto the racket handle! The former is easy to rip the grip off, but the latter is gonna be pain in the @ss to get off.
