    The end result looks nothing like the smooth bulge of Taufik's (and also Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Peter Gade etc.) grip. In fact I have tried this method before and it really is ugly looking.

    If you have looked at pictures of the grips (without the towel grip on top, yet) of the professional players who use towel grip with that bulge you will see that rather than using the towel grip to put "under-grip" layers as suggested by the video, the professional players in fact use athlete tape layered.

    What I would like to add is, instead of using pieces of towel grip or any other grip underneath as shown in the video, just layer athlete tape or thick industrial tape at where it is shown in the video for that bulge and grip from the top and finish at the bottom for a much smoother bulge.

    I've tried a variation on this grip recently on my G3 Voltric 80 and I must say I really love it! I always leave the original grip on the racquet so my new grip is that one + AC 102. Before I had the original grip + AC 420 which I thought was fine, but now I realize that it was too thick on G3.

    Since Taufik Hidayat is one of badminton players I look up to I have cut my grip so it looks similar to Taufik's It's not exactly the same but close to. It's good for getting more power and good for backhand

    Hey guys here is my second try and Taufik's grip with my Arcsaber Z-Slash TH Edition. Of course the handle is thickers, because there is still the regular grip left from whenI got it. :)

    Yes and the racket in his pics had quite a bulge at the end. The only thing missing is the covered buttcap. So it is more like Taufik's grip.
