There’s no shortage of overgrips on the market, but the one that you use will depend on your specific needs and preferences. I’m not someone who craves a super thin grip. In fact, I find the original Wilson Overgrip to be ideal. Again, the Wilson Pro Overgrip Sensation compares favorably with the Kirschbaum. At 0.4mm, the Sensation is about as close as you can get to the handle, and for some people, this is great news. To some people, this will be exactly what they are looking for, but I still don’t think you can class it as comfort. After a while, the grip started to roll up and wear at the bottom and this is not something I experience with my original Wilson Pro Overgrips.Regularly swapping out your overgrip is a great way to minimize the slippery effect of sweat on your hands, but sometimes it’s not enough.

When you take 25% of the material away, it was bound to affect the comfort, but that’s just the tradeoff you’ve got to pay if you want a thin grip.

Our favorite is the Gamma Supreme Power grip, which features a ridge down the middle to help increase traction. Place the tapered end of the grip along the top edge of your racquet’s handle. You can begin from any side as long as you start at the top edge. This is a big issue for many people, so it was important that the sensation didn’t sacrifice too much in this area. If using the small rubber band-like device, simply pull it over the top of your overgrip to secure it. Finished Product
