Leather Tour

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.

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.

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