Great overall grip

Best overall grip is the one you get for FREE !!!! 
Besides that, many in BC here swear by RKEP but I have yet to try, parcel from Taiwan has not arrived ! 
My current favourite is YY AC102EX RED.

Love RKEP
"Best grip" is like "best food": It depends on the person.
The OP is from Scotland and probably thinks haggis tastes lovely. So who knows what he wants in a grip's feel? The texture of Highland thistle? ;-)
As for eBay's Squash Eric's RKEP grips: There is a lot to choose from. Some tacky, some dry, some thick, some thin. The prices can't be beat. So I would recommend ordering a mixed set and see what you like.
For fun colours, Kulergrip, of Malaysia has a rainbow of patterns. Good quality. Only slightly tacky.
Karakal and Kimony are also good quality brands with a variety of styles.
The world (of grips) is your oyster! Explore and have fun.

There are also some other unheard of brands you can buy at aliexpress that are very similar to the ones Kimony or Yonex sell. And you get them a lot lot cheaper.
Tried this recently.
Not quite stretchy compare to other grip (Yonex, Lining, Victor, Wilson).
Stickyness are good, idk about durability as its still few games only, but i find some issue that after setting it up & play with it for few times, its kinda sliding up & down. Did you find this kind of issue?
For note im actively shifting my hand up & down the grip when playing, but i find no problem with any other grip i ever tried.
Had another one in my bag, i guest i will try to pull it harder next time & see if it would stay in place.
But for me Wilson Pro Comfort are still my goto grip. Yonex AC 102 are good but not durable.
wilson pro comfort is a little bit expensive for me
but now i use toalson arterisk or ibuki dekoboko
they feel the same to me
have u tried them before? im still looking for the best grip
Toalson Asterista is good, but carefull there is a plastic cover on both side, so do remove them beforehand. At 1st i didnt notice there is a plastic on the inner part, so i just wrap it, end up the grip sliding wildly up & down.
Durability still unknown but normally
With Yonex AC102, i change 1-2 for each stringing.
With Wilson, it just 1 per 2 stringing.
Havent tried Ibuki.

I used to use RKEP but recently run out so have to have a look as to what an alternative is as he's stopped producing them.
I like a tacky grip so after some research bought a pack of Wilson Pro Comfort, Gamma Supreme and Tourna Mega Tac.
Now having tried then for a little bit, I can say I prefer the Gamma Supreme, even compared to the previous RKEP grips.
I didn't think I would manage to find something TOO tacky but the Tourna Mega Tac is. It had a ton of grip but just didn't feel great when playing with it.
The Wilson Pro Comfort is very good, but the tackiness doesn't seem to last as long as the Gamma. It also is very soft/stretchy so not as easy to put on as the Gamma, and I also like a 'harder' feeling grip, which the Gamma is.

He's still ticking. Ordered in May this year.

Oh, I sent him a message on here but he never responded. I feel like the Gamma tackiness seems to last longer anyway so I'll stick to this now.
Ya he is active on his Facebook page "RKEP racket shop". You can message him there if your thinking of going back.
The current rkep G10 overgrip is more tacky then supergrap and overall durability I would say is 2 - 2.5x as long at my current use. It's not as soft feeling as supergrab or stretchable and slightly thicker I guess because of the last two properties but idm. I was a big fan of Elite overgrips in the past and this is a suitable replacement.

Ah ok, thanks. Good to know if I ever want some again.
Oh I really don't like supergrap, it's too spongy, and the tackiness lasts one or two sessions, then I need to change it. I'd rather give it away than use it.
