HEADLeather Tour Replacement Grip

I got this just to because I wanted to put an overgrip over a leather one. So, i can't really speak to the quality/feel of using the leather grip, but it has held very nicely. No issues with the overgrip I'm using.The feel of the grip was kind of flat with a little bit of texture to the grip. Not sure if that's good/bad/normal as I've never used a leather grip before. Maybe one of these days I'll try using the grip to play.If you're looking for a leather grip to go under your overgrip, this is a solid choice.

Gone are the days when all new racquets came with a quality leather grip. I know some people prefer the synthetics, but I still prefer a high quality leather grip for tennis for a hundred reasons. At the top of my list are feel, grip, and durability. This replacement grip was exactly what I expected. It feels like a brand new racquet. This racquet is so old it's hard to remember the original grip, but this one may actually be even better quality.I saw at least one review mention lack of grip. I'd say I've played with a ton of racquets over the years, and a leather grip just doesn't feel like a synthetic grip. This one is no different. And it takes a little time to really break in a new leather grip. It has to get a little dirty, a little sweaty, oily from your hand and from use. Just a little roughed up and broken in. But considering I've had leather grips last literally decades, a little patience is worth it.The grip has a little adhesive on the back. I don't know if it's necessary or not, but if you wrap a grip right, you shouldn't even need it. Take your time, figure it out, do it right. It's not rocket science and it's worth a little effort. Mine went on great, feels great, is starting to get a little tacky, and feels like it will last forever.If there were any negatives, I'd say the piece of tape provided to secure the last end is a little flimsy and stretchy. That's an awfully minor issue, and I usually use a little bit of heat shrink wrap for a little better permanence anyway. Great product.

leather feels better and lasts longer

I really wanted a leather grip on my pickleball paddle. I like the look and the feel. I love this grip but after putting it on without removing the original grip I realized it made my handle a little bigger. I still love it and if you have big hands it would probably be great (according to my fried with large hands, he loves it) If I do this again I think I might removed the original grip before installing this over grip. I can always remove this grip, then remove the original grip and then put this one back on...but...maybe...someday. I know looks aren't everything but I really like the look and it makes it stand out in the stacking tray so I can easily tell where I'm at in the line. I just put it on so I have no idea about the "Durability"

I will say it is a good grip and does feel like a leather grip but the only thing I don’t like is that it does feel bulky. But it was easy to install and works

Holy cow! All these years, playing with synthetic grips didn't know what I was missing out on. I hit with old prestige mids and now highly recommend anyone with one of those to try this leather grip out! Superior feel of knowing where your hand is on the handle! I haven't noticed any added vibration (have smartsorb dampener) or extra weight, for that matter. Highly recommend to at least give this a shot (no pun intended)!

Unfortunately, I get some sort of skin reaction with the rubber tennis grips, especially when they get old. The leather solves that problem. I put it on all my pickleball and tennis racquets.

This is our first time buying a leather grip tape. When done the taping, the feeling was great. One day, my son's racquet needs to redo the strings at a pro tennis shop. The boss is always so kind to his customers. An hour later, when we collect my son's racquet, the shop owner put an extra grip tape on top of this leather grip tape. He said ours are too thin. My son has no complaints about the double tape. Next time, probably we stick to the plastic grip tape.
