GAMMA Sports Tennis Racquet Ultra Cushion Replacement Grip – Contoured Multi Black with Textured Perforations for Enhanced Absorption, Comfort, and Control

First off, this grip is just what I wanted. I had a pro restring my racquet and replace my worn grip recently. I asked for the same grip I had on there (thick, spongy, a little tacky when it's clean, with a contour ridge); what I got was dead flat called something like "Gamma Micro-thin". This grip looks and feels perfect and I can't wait to give it a go on the court next week. I saw several reviews that said people had trouble with the finishing end of the grip, so I'd like to offer a few suggestions. To follow them, you will need a plastic cable tie, a pair of diagonal cutters, and a razor sharp blade. Before I started installing the grip, I measured the distance from the bottom of the butt to where I wanted the finished wrap to end, enough below the racquet's logo above the handle to allow half the width of the finishing tape to be applied to the bare handle and not cover the logo. With my wrapped handle length in hand, I stretched the grip to make sure it was plenty tight, with no bunching around the flare at the butt of the handle, and once the tapered section ended I overlapped each wrap such that the edge of the new wrap was touching, but not covering, the first vent hole along the edge of the previous wrap. My racquet has the fattest handle I could find in several tennis shops, and with that amount of stretch and overlap the grip supplied was plenty. I went ahead and wrapped it all the way to the top, covering the logo completely. Next I got out a cable tie that was long enough to fit around the handle, and cinched it down on the handle such that the edge of the cable tie furthest from the butt was the measurement to where I wanted the grip to end. I unwound the end of the grip material to where it was being held by the cable tie, and got out my trusty razor sharp Swiss Army knife (if yours isn't sharp enough to shave with, try a straight razor or one sided razor blade or X-ACTO knife or Stanley knife or something). Next, using the edge of the cable tie as a cutting guide, and pulling up on the end of the grip material so as to avoid cutting (and potentially weakening) the racquet's handle, I cut off the excess grip material in a fairly perfect circle. One snip from my small diagonal cutters got the cable tie off without damaging the grip beneath. Finally, I peeled the protective film off the back of the supplied finishing tape and, trying to stick half the width of the tape to the bare handle and the other half of the width to the grip material, I applied the tape in the same direction as the grip was wound.

Decided to dig up my old tennis racket from the garage and the grip was in terrible shape. I ordered this product and my racket is like new again. Great cushion. Easy to apply. I recommend this product.

Amazing replacement grip! Love the feel. Both tacky and cushy. Only thing was trying to figure out the overlap at the beginning. Particularly because of the butt cap tapering. Some instructions would have been nice. I was concerned that I didn't overlap the beginning enough so actually unwrapped it and started over. The tape is sticky enough to hold it on but not so sticky that you can't unwrap it to start over. The finishing tape appears to be the standard size but would have liked a wider tape to better secure the end of the grip given that it is a bit thick and my racket tapers in at that spot.

Not bad at all! Very close my original stock grip on my Vatic Pro V7, which is what I was looking for.

Great as an overwrap for a thicker grip. Also good as a replica for a worn grip.

Works as advertised

It is textured so provides a good grip to the racket. A while ago I had bought a different grip. It was durable but was too smooth to provide that extra strong grip. I recently bought this and it went on fine on the racket and the hold is really good. Highly recommend this.

Hadn't used my raquet in years and the grip was coming apart in my hands. Bought this and the raquet is good as new. I really like the feel of this ultra cushion. Very happy!

Quality is good for racket. A bit expensive compared to last time

Surgrip épais, bonne qualité, bonne résistance à la pression Je recommande

Easy to apply and long life.

I hope GAMMA wil never take this grip off the market. I have been playing tennis for 56 years and I have never believed in overgrips. I only play with original grips and replace it with a new original. This is such a quality cushion-like grip with a nice feel. I do not buy any other grips except this Cushion Contour, sold by Amazon. Good Quality, easy to install, good glue, long lasting.

Muy buena, gruesa, no bultosa, buen agarre y muy cómoda
