Quality Overgrip & Replacement Grip

Replacement Grip Information

Replacement grip (sometimes referred to as cushion grip), the same type of grip that comes pre-installed on new racquets, should be wrapped over the bare handle of your racquet. It acts as the foundation of your grip. Unlike overgrip, replacement grip has a substantial thickness which is critical to providing a comfortable feel. Both of Golden Set’s replacement grips, Elan and Secure Grip, offer excellent cushion, durability, tack and easy installation features. Golden Set Elan Grip, a perforated grip, is slightly thinner than the Secure Grip but actually has a slightly softer feel. Golden Set Secure Grip has a firmer feel with small round embossments for added texture.

Overgrip Information

Overgrip (sometimes referred to as overwrap) should be wrapped over top of a replacement grip and is generally not suitable to function as a substitute for replacement grip. Golden Set offers two types of high quality overgrip: Adhesa Grip and Hydrex Grip. Both of these durable overgrips are available in economical 15-packs or buckets of 6o. Adhesa Grip is a thin and tacky overgrip that frequently draws favourable comparisons to the much more expensive Wilson™ Pro Overgrip™. Adhesa is perfect for a player that wants a tacky feel that lasts and lasts. Hydrex Grip is a thin and moderately tacky overgrip that provides maximum absorbency and is best suited to players who have trouble maintaining a good grip in the presence of moisture / sweat. Overgrip is commonly used for the following reasons:
     • To protect the more expensive replacement grip
     • To provide a tacky and less slippery feel
     • To soak up sweat and provide more absorbency
     • To Increase handle size (though excessive over gripping can round out handle)
