i've just replaced & gotten karakal PU super Multi & using as a overgrip. the feeling is good so far. i have sweaty palm & should not be too long before the colours go haywire as mentioned. Let's see.
ah no wonder glad to hear its still bein updated i really like the super pu grip but i think its a bit too big for me i like a smaller grip. and for those who are wonderin it wears out pretty quickly for me
I've been removing the factory grip and putting down a thin overgrip and then putting PU Super on top of that. You get the feel of PU Super but it isn't as thick. How long does it last for you?
I just had a chance to try out a few apac pu's i got from Dink. I usually remove the factory grip, and lay down two layers of over grip and the thickness is good for me. For the Apac pu, i tried with just the replacement pu grip and also with the grip on top of one over grip. With out a grip underneath it is too thin. With a grip underneath its too fat and my timing is waaay off. I guess super pu/apacs pu is not good for me.
i had a 3 hour session the Karakal is showing sign of tarnishing fast. but the colours are not coming off & my sweaty palm was not stained.
for me it usually lasts abuot 4-5 weeks. after that it gets really black and it doesnt feel as good anymore
You need to adjust the thickness of the grip underneath: If too thick: 1) Use an overgrip, not replacement grip 2) Try single and double lapping. One of those has to work otherwise it's too thin and you need another replacement grip.
I tried the grip again last night trying single lapping without any grip or overgrip underneath and it was pretty close. Not bad overall, going to try it some more. Overall grip was great. In other news today i stopped by a local tennis shop to see if they had the new colors of wilson pro grip. They didnt but they did have it in white. Its probably my favorite overgrip. What i did see was there were new colors, orange, blue, and pink of gamma supreme overgrip, my no.2 favorite over grip! Wooooot!
Hi all, Does anyone know where to get Karakal Nano 60 or Kimony overgrips in KL? Any info is much appreciated. Thanx in advance.
If you look carefully they are here http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67659 They are out of date but Dinkalot will update them later
im currently testing the wilson pro perforated and its not as good as the original. Pro perf, has a rough texture feel due to the pores, however it still provides good grip and tack much like wilson pro overgrip. Im questioning its viability for badminton as there are some grips which are good for tennis but not quite as good for badminton. Overall, good grip, but go with regular wilson pro.
And I tried the Wilson Pro Soft which I thought was going to be a thicker more absorptive version of the Wilson Pro but turned out to be completely different. It was very thin and sanded. Not tacky at all and no cushioning. I didn't like the feel at all but it did seem pretty effective in terms of giving me a firm grip. It also gave me a blister. Sanded grips are not for me.
yes this grip is a little more firm, especially if you pull it taut. Use this one a little looser and it wont be so bad. Or just avoid it and get wilson pro.
Gonna try the Karakal PU Super Grap for sure. Store nearby is selling them 24 for 60 euro's (80 dollars).
