RKEP Grip

Take it however you will. I am speaking from personal experience.

And Eric has just summarized it here in post #929

And look at the bottom of the ebay listing for G08 Soft75. Eric has used my opinion on the listing.

Just made an order

 

I just discovered this thread. I'm looking for something that's similar to the Yonex Super Grap 102 EX. Which RKEP grip is most similar to that? Does it also come in neon yellow colour? Where's the best place to buy it from? Thanks!

 

In my opinion, G08 SOFT75 is the most similar to Yonex Super Grap. Available colours here.
My personal favourite is the SOFT75 #3 (i.e. Yellow).

You can also try the G09 Elite but this is very tacky - so can be quite different from Super Grap.

You can buy from Eric on his ebay store (just search RKEP on ebay). Alternatively, you can contact Eric directly via e-mail (this is usually cheaper than going through ebay). Payment is via paypal.

 

Ordered at 8 this morning on ebay and already posted with a tracking number. Excellent service.

 

Unfortunately there's no G08 with 0.60mm, since 0.70mm is slightly too thick for my taste.
The surface of G08 is really soft and comfortable. It's like the legendary Wilson Pro Overgrip. Just thicker.

 

G08 is 0.75mm thick, while G09 is 0.6mm. Thickness and feel wise G09 is closer to Supergrap.

Tackiness of G09 will depend on colour.
Black, dark blue least.
White medium.
Grey, yellow, green very.
Pink extremely. (to the point where it can chafe skin )

 

If you have extremely sweaty hands, then you will find that the G08 Soft75 is closer to SuperGrap in terms of feel. From my own experience, SuperGrap when wet was not as slippery as G09 Elite.

But if you do not have sweaty hands, then yes, you may find that G09 Elite is similar to SuperGrap.

 

buy more and you get free grip

 

I don't have very sweaty hands. What should I do in my case then?

 

try from G09 G11 or G16 to find the one you like

 

for your arc fb, you got to get the yellow g09 ... perfect colour match...although very tacky to begin with, but becomes less tacky with use

 

I'm thinking of ordering one to test. Unfortunately I didn't found out about this thread until I bought a pack of Yonex Super Grap in yellow.

 

Hi Eric,

Would like to check with you on the thickness of the various towel grips you have:

1) Yonex 402EX
2) RKEP
3) Victor

How would you rate the thickness from thinnest to thickest?

Also does all the towel grips come with self-adhesive tape behind?

Thanks a lot.

 

the most thick:
#1 VICTOR (some complain the fur drop off very quick)
#2 YONEX
#3 RKEP (the most quick dry)

all come with self-adhesive back

 

You don't have Ashaway towel series?

Feel like buying RKEP towels to try but your offer is only 6x per sale. Hmm...

 

tell me how many you wish that I will offer

Sure. Thanks

 

Squash Eric, I've only just noticed the photo you sent me through ebay. Very nice touch, thank you.

 

To my door in the UK in 7 days, awesome stuff. Thanks Eric.

Not sure I'm keen on the wet tape with the holes but the elite tape seems nice.
