    Hi,
    I currently use original grip (with the plastic intact) + Yonex super grap. I enjoy the grip size of this combination.
    I'd like to switch to RKEP Ultimate on wood. Should I expect a bigger and smaller grip size?
    Thanks, guys.

    should be the same
    remember to grip the G05 on handle at the original shape (i.e., no double wrapping - just plain wrapping as the original grip)

    Have been using G10 overgrip on Victor racket g5 handle. The texture n sponginess of G10 suit me well.

    Lately, however, I found that I nd a slightly thicker grip. Any suggestion for something I could use to pre-wrap the handle before putting on the overgrip...something that is 0.2-0.3mm...?

    Although this isn't a very technical review, I believe that RKEP G10 grip (Wet Tape) is excellent. And I do prefer to use it over Yonex Super Grap. I haven't yet used any other type of grip, but I really do like this grip. It does get slippery if your hands are sweaty though and I feel like it gets this dirty look if you leave it in your bag for too long, but the durability is excellent. Its an extremely comfortable grip and I thoroughly enjoy using it.

    The only problem I guess I have is the self adhesive on the back of G10 grips, but I dont mind because I like to use the RKEP tape because I like supporting the brand. I have given a bunch of grips to my friends and they all like it except for one who said that the rip was too soft. Another friend said he likes it A LOT, but it gets slippery when wet.

    Anyways to sum it all up, I really like this grip and it is a great deal, big props to you Eric and I hope you continue to sell more and that this review helps steer people your way!

    One thing about G10 that I really like is that it's just the perfect softness and tackiness.

    Soft enough to absorb impact vibrations, yet not so soft that I can't feel the bird.

    Tacky enough to enable a loose grip for finger power, yet not so tacky that I can't change grip in the middle of a fast rally.

    Visor can you compare g10 to elite and soft (g08?) I haven't tried those yet.

    I haven't used G08, but G09 Elite is a tad harder, less tacky, and more leathery feel compared to G10.

    A small request. Will Eric ever consider producing 1mm grips?

    I have small hands by the way. My rackets are mostly G5 (based on Yonex's sizing chart) and I typically just use one overgrip.

    I use G08 (0.75mm) mainly and have tried various ways to fit the grip to my liking but encountered problems (e.g. grip length is too short, grip thickness is too thick if I apply two layers of G08).

    Would really love a 1mm grip if possible... preferably with the properties of G08.

    I suggest you to apply one base layer of plastic tape beneath
    before wrapping G08 grip
