RKEP Grip

I'm not keen on the ridges. I've got an old once somewhere to retry but I think I remember it being too slippery. I have ridiculously sweaty hands. Maybe towel grip is the way forward.

I really like g08 but I think ultimate is lighter than 50% overlap g08 for the same increase in grip size.

 

or just double layer:
1 G09 as base layer (in this case it should only be plain wrapped without any double wrapped in the edge, G09 is tacky stiff type could last a little longer)
and then use G08 as over layer

 

I used to use the G09 but found that it loses its grippyness very fast. I have extremely dry hands when playing. I decided to try the G11s and those work wonders. The only problem, is that it wears away quite quickly (I tape my thumb and my index finger with hockey tape)

 

If you think G11 is da bomb, wait till you try G10.

 

I found the G11s to be really similar to the Yonex Supergraps, possibly even better. I will try ordering the G10s next time. I am thinking of ordering 100 of them this time... with the amount I play, I go through grips real fast.

 

I really liked the blue G10 grip but as for G11 mentally those holes they just make me mad... Ahah...

 

I have tried both g10 and g11. I don't think that they even close to yonex ac102ex. I have to change my rkep every session.

 

i think for us in cooler climates like in north america g9,10,11 are great because we don't sweat as much

for you fellas in tropical mas, sg, hk, these grips don't absorb any sweat, so ac102ex or towel grip work better

 

I use G09 and it works out just fine. But certain colors are much better than others. Yellow get slippery very easily. So far black and red have worked out very well for me. Yellow I find myself changing every week :3

 

for player in tropic hot whether that we suggest
G08
or
G16 (= G08 + stiching)

 

yes, from my experience with various colours of g09, black and red are the least tacky and most cloth like, so they'll absorb sweat more

the tackiest, grey, pink, green, they would be the worst at sweat absorbtion

 

Funny I find those two colors the tackiest xD the rest are actually more cloth like to me @.@

 

That's just weird.

 

G10 is pretty good, I only tried the white ones so far. I replaced it every 1-2 months, price is so good that i don't mind to replace the grip often.

 

Only downside I've come across RKEP grips are that the adhesive tape on the grip is pretty bad. Needs to be a tad lengthier like the supergraps...

ive gripped it tight halfway and start to loosen the grip near the top before finishing off with the adhesive backing..

Unfortunately when i remove the racquet from my bag, it comes undone lol

 

^ Yeah, often times, I've had to add a small piece of scotch tape at the end to help.

 

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

 

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice.

I'm currently sticking cushion wrap and a single G11 over the factory grips of my rackets but I'm finding, at least for the G5 rackets, that the grip is still too thin for my disproportionately large hands . Rather than burying the handle in more overgrips I think I'd prefer to just replace the factory grip with a thicker replacement grip + a single overgrip. From your experiences could anyone recommend an Rkep replacement grip that's thicker than your standard factory grip but just as durable, that doesn't lose its cushioning very quickly over time?

 

i'm in mas and loving the G10

i sweat a lot but a wristband keeps my palms dry

 

thats because you do not sweat at the palms ziggy, maybe lah...

I sweat alot at the palms and G08 is the best grip for me...
But the color mix up on our previous bulk makes me change grip faster than usual, white color grip...sigh....
