    shouldn't ...

    the answer to this question be ?

    Depends on the colour of the grip

    For example if the grip is black or dark you are unlikely to see any dirt on the grip so you don't change it for a couoole of months
    However if the grip is light in colour (like my new white yonex super grap)
    Your likely to change the grip a lot quicker as you can see the dirt on the racket more clearly

    Actually a damn cloth works just fine, it was suggested by one of my friend. After playing today, i cleaned the grips with a damp cloth and the stinking smell was gone. :)

    grip

    I play for about 5-6 weeks with my Victor Frottee Grip (white). And that is about 9 hours a week. I change it when the grip gets all black and a bit wet. It plays great. nice and soft :D

    About 5 weeks with Karakal PU Duo, 4-6 hours of play a week.

    New grips from Racket Expert are showing less wear and tear, and less loss of tack so far. So I estimate over 2 months for these ones :)

    it depends on usage. If you play like 3-4 times, then about 2 months. Else, longer. However, if you expose it to sunlight, it may be shorter. ;)

    Due to playing 4 or 5 sessions per week, I change it very second or third week. I like it very tacky.

    I'd say that my grips last me about a month. But that is only because I rotate between a few rackets.
