Hey there, I've been using the Lining GC200R (AXJM058-54) towel grip for quite some time now. Got three rolls, already on my second one. It's been great—thin, durable, and feels pretty comfortable overall. I recently found the Lining GC200R PRO (ASJT091-1) on the Lining Taiwan site, and it's at the same price as the one I'm currently using. Wondering if any of you have given it a shot and if there's any noticeable difference between the Pro and non-Pro versions. Sent from my RMX3363 using Tapatalk
I was actually looking for user reviews for LiNing GC200R and sounds like it is a positive review from you. Would you know how they compare to Yonex Towel Grip AC402EX-30?
For reference I use a Yonex G5 grip size and prefer a thin grip as close to a overgrip + barewood combo. Yonex AC402-EX, although it's been a while since I used it, tends to feel thicker and fluffier compared to Lining GC200R. It takes a few weeks to lose its fluffiness and attain the desired thinness, unlike GC200R, which starts thin from the beginning. On the flip side, GC200R tends to get rougher quickly. Unsure if it's due to my use of liquid chalk or its less fluffy nature compared to other towel grips. According to forum discussions, Lining GC200R is more akin to AC402-DX but is pricier and available only in single packets, not rolls. Sent from my RMX3363 using Tapatalk
yes same experience here 402-ex taiwan made is much thicker than DX, but DX is much pricier. Although i use EX now directly on the handle - this ways the thickness is ok. I tried GC200R and it has nice thickness, very close to DX, but i found it too slippery for me.
and actually i bought gc200r in a roll https://shopee.co.th/(พร้อมส่ง)-กริ...ินค้ารับประกันของแท้--i.140072107.10909171721
After using up my GC200R, I finally ordered the GC200R Pro and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone considering it. The Pro version is essentially an improved GC200R. It's less slippery when you first grip it, and there's almost no shedding of the cotton, unlike the GC200R, which often left me vacuuming. The Pro also doesn't have that strong chemical smell that the GC200R had when opened. Given that they're priced similarly, I think switching to the Pro is definitely worth it.

I echo your view about the GC200 - strong chemical smell, too slippery when fresh (even though it's quite rough) and not as good compared to other towel grips but it is thin. I'll have to wait to finish my roll and for the pro to be stocked here.
