Grips

Tennis Grip Superstore! Although tennis racquets come with a grip on them, many players like to customize their racquets or prolong their racquet's life by replacing the grip when it wears out. Hence, a wide variety of Replacement Grips and Over Grips for tennis racquets are available and they are generally distinguished by their main feature, be it tackyness, comfort or perspiration absorption. Replacement grips are used exactly for what it sounds like – replacing a worn out racquet grip. Over Grips go on top of the racquet’s grip to provide a better hold on the racquet when your hand perspires or simply as a statement of individuality.

The 5 Basic Types of Grips
Here is a basic rundown of the main types of grips. These apply to both Replacement and Over Grips.

Absorbent Grips: Improve your hold during play when your hand becomes sweaty. Has water absorbing properties.
Contoured Grips: Ridged grips give your hand and fingers points of resistance that prevent them from moving around, especially as your hand sweats during play.
Cushioned Grips: The emphasis is on comfort with these grips, as they provide an extra layer of padding to help ease arm, hand and wrist strain.
Tacky Grips: These grips have a slight tack to them so your hand sticks to the grip. The effect is that your hand is less prone to move during play.
Leather Grips: Only Replacement Grips are available in leather, which is what tennis racquet grips have been traditionally made of prior to the introduction of newer, more hi-tech materials.
