HEADRacquet Overgrip

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.

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.

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"

Easy to put on.. Quality leather.. Wish they had it in different colors.

The length was more than enough to cover my two-handed backhand with 3-4 “ remaining. The adhesive was great for keeping grip in place when starting. Leather is great qualty. I like the tackiness and thickness. (I don’t use overgrip) Bevels are easily seen and felt. Occasionally slick with copious sweat. Resolves with towel dry. Seems durable so far.

This leather grip has a nice texture to it. It wrapped well and has kept the shape and position as installed. It does not stretch much, but it was pliable enough to take the curve in the wood without gapping and laid down nicely. Some comments from others noted that there was no "HEAD" name on the grip, but it does have it; subtlety, as a darker brown lettering about midway through the wrap (*See pic if that matters to you). I am greatly enjoying this on my walking staff/stick because it gives a nice feel, look, consistency and is comfortable as a hand-grip for my hikes. IMO - It is bonded leather, so don't expect a strip of natural skin leather, but it is 5-stars for all the reasons I mentioned before.

If you want to feel the bevels this is for you. Add'l weight makes the frame more head-light. High quality leather.

leather feels better and lasts longer

Low profile, firm feel. Good replacement grip with added weight to handle and increased feel of bevels (through an over grip)

Very good quality leather grip. Good thickness. Good length for a single hander. If you want a double hander grip this one may be a bit short. The grip has an adhesive back, which helps putting it on. The HEAD name is embossed in the leather (see pics). It's a small detail, but it makes your Head racquet look just a bit nicer I think. Every leather grip has a smooth surface, so does this one, that means it will get slippery quickly, so beware of that whenever you use any leather grip (hence the four star rating instead of the full five). btw the superficial smudge at the bottom of the grip in the pics is my own fault. I had stuck an overgrip on it and that left some of the adhesive behind. I tried to remove it, leaving the blemish you see in the photos. The grip arrived in perfect condition.

Easy to install and the feel is pretty good. Great look with orange Color. My wife has a Head Tennis Racket. The grip was black. Synthetic. The racket has some orange on it so the match with this new grip is pretty good.

Iba a comprar el de Wilson por las calidades que manejaban, pero el de Head es el mejor sin duda en calidad precio y mas para lo que lo necesito. Muy buena textura del cuero, buen peso que ha balanceado mi raqueta y buen grip. Nada que objetar, me falta probarlo en la presión de un partido pero por lo pronto, un 10.

se siente muy bien el material, pero venía roto el paquete
