    I’ve got an Ashaway roll and it is ridiculously thin. I’ve never used the singles but they can’t be any thinner or they’d be transparent.

    Could you post a closeup picture of it like Mark did on page 2 comparing with the Victor C1025 or any other towel? Or even just the towel itself like this?

    Actually the first few image results for "Ashaway towel grip" show some very thin reels - you should be OK.

    Bahahaha! Just read an Amazon review that caned it for being too thin. Looks like it's right up our street, then:p.

    It’s the same as the one in Mark’s picture. Assuming what you have ordered is the same as the one I have.

    Do you mean the review that read along the lines of "useless, I had to wrap it twice for it to be of any use!!!!!!"? After reading it, all I could think of was "perfect". :rolleyes:

    Towel grip worth 0.184 $ vs Li Ning GP20 Thin Overgrip worth 1.226 $.

    The lighting and photograph is making it look a bit thicker. It's actually just as thin as the PU overgrip. (made in our own country and sold in bulk to players)

    Quite disappointed with the grips that came with new packaging... VICTOR changed the material of the double sided tape..

    It's now very thick and hard, making the cloth pretty inflexible to stretch. In all, it makes the gripping process more tedious.

    If any of u see the new grip packaging, buy 1 or 2 to try out before more.

    Li Ning gc200 is available on Germany now and it's really thin. 10m reel. Pretty happy with it.

    Not listed unfortunately.

    Are they comparable to Yonex's AC402DX?

    I’m not jealous or anything like that. Good for you.
