    I thought Yellow is the tackiest of all tacks. No?

    As far as I know, they are only available in the Decathlon Sports stores. Not sure where else they are available. I know there are other decathlon stores around the world (http://www.decathlon.com/)

    These are the ones I've been using for a few years now. They're not cheapest, but I'm happy to pay extra as they are very good quality.

    I have sweaty hands and I have a question regarding this issue :
    - is it better to use G06 only?
    - or is it better to use G06 in combination with G08?
    - or like Tactim asked, is there a better combination than G06+G08?

    I have dry hands so I prefer the white, lavender, or purple G09. I also bought some G08 and find the black to be intolerably slippery, need to spray water on it before using. Eric do you think you can make adapt the G09 to the ribbed design like the G16, it would be an awesome grip.

    I recently brought some G09, was previously using Yonex super graps (replacing them every 2-3 weeks because they would dry out and loose their tackyness really quick). I must say that I thought the G09 positive posts and how good they were, were just fanboys and not accurate.. how can another over-grip be superior to Yonex at half the price?.....

    well I received them earlier this week and had 3 sessions with one. Hands down the best overgrip I have ever used! and I am really really pedantic about the size, firmness and tackyness of my grip. They also seem not to loose their tackyness much and are very durable in comparison.

    I like a firm grip with a minimal amount of sponge and tacky so it holds to your fingers but so you can still easily rotate the racket. And these tick every box for me.

    My only criticism is that they do not stretch like Yonex, so I have 2 small creases at the top of the grip :crying: so you need to take a bit more time than usual making sure the grip goes on at the right angle and be patient with it, I grip my rackets left-handed so grips go on upside down.... but who cares about a bit extra time putting on the grip when it just feels this good and gives you a lot of confidence with the racket your holding.

    I brought 24 thinking they would last me a while.... thinking I might have over-ordered if they dont start wearing out soon :p

    Just make sure you don't get pink or green, or else your hand will be stuck to the grip because they are the tackiest colours... :p

    [FONT=&quot]our EMS post increased their price from Mar 1 due to measurement calculation. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Postage will be calculated according to which one heavier:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]measurement weight = length x height x width in cm / 6000 [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]or the real weight [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]such as [/FONT][FONT=&quot]postage for the racket::[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]1 racket = $30 (70x24x5/6000=1.42kg measurement weight)[/FONT]
    (but you also have about 700g free spaces could takes some small items such as grips, strings, sports wears...)
