    Do you want to sell to me ? It will save me time and shipping costs from Taiwan. PM if you are interested.:)

    I was going to order a lot (because of shipping) but I was thinking it could be a risk especially if I don't like it. So a small trial would be good.:)

    sorry LD rules!, it is not that I don't want to sell it
    the main problem is, I don't know how to post a package
    I never send a mail or package using post office in my life

    but I could say power master is really nice on hand
    I think many people agree about that

    I wonder if Eric could make overgrip based on power master rib pattern (I don't use an overgrip though..)

    yup, never
    wait, I think I sent one mail.. pretty long ago, 12 years ago?

    I never use it to send a package because I never had something to send
    maybe when I start an online business I will send many packages
    but not currently

    Well, I think you can safely assume that the system hasn't changed in the past 12 years.

    Went oldskool and ordered the Super Softs ;) (plus of course the G09L's). Also a single Power Master to try out (normally don't use anything with a pattern or holes in)

    So can everybody safely assume that the Power Master is better than the Ultimate?

    I certainly hope so, because the options for replacement grips similar to the PU Super are pretty thin on the ground.

    For replacement grip:
    POWER MASTER
    is definitely RKEP the best ever grip up so far: long endurance, powerful griping, cushion feel

    However, each one got his own preference.
    Some will like G01 SUPER SOFT as it got very good hand feel (but need to exchange this grip more often in order to maintain the good hand feel)
    G05 ULTIMATE also got some fans especially for who do not like thick grip (0.6mm thin grip might feel too thin). It is also long lasting, good for sweating hands.


    For thin over grip,
    RKEP G09 ELITE 0.6mm grip got super tacky feel. But some will feel it is a little too stiff (especially for them with not so powerful hand)
    STIFF is not a bad character as it means it could last longer.
    SOFT got better hand feel but it also means can not last too long (just as G01 SUPER SOFT grip need to change more often)

    upcoming G08 SOFT75 (in June) is 0.75mm over grip which will not as stiff as G09. Y brands AC102 and K brands POINT75AIR fans will very sure like this one.

    It could be arranged after the 1st batch had been launched. Tell me the other color you wished that we will consider.

    G09: the factory do not have such color
    G08: might got the color you requested
    If you could order 100pcs per color that I will order this (factory required 600pcs per color minimum and 10000pcs minimum per order)

    Eric you beautiful man! (lol) Just gripped my rackets with the G11 you supplied me and much prefer it to the ELITE (G09). It's not as leathery and tacky as the ELITE but more textured. Similar to the Super Grap but not as dry or grainy.

    What I like most about it is the little holes in it. Imo really adds to the grip and feel. I will test them on court on Sat with a full review. One thing to note is that it is a heavier grip than Super Grap. G11 yellow is also heavier and tackier than G11 White, but we're only talking tiny differences here so nothing to write home about. Though going from Super Grap to G11 did drop my BP by 3mm to 5mm. But I used more grip this time.

    Here are some pics!
