What the AI looks for in Tennis Racket Grips

Overgrip vs replacement grip
Overgrips wrap over the existing grip and are changed often; replacement grips go directly on the handle and change grip size more Buying the wrong type is the most common mistake in this category.
Tacky vs dry
Tacky for normal sweat levels; dry or absorbent for heavy sweaters Tacky grips get slippery when soaked; dry grips work better wet.
Thickness and grip size
Each overgrip adds roughly a quarter to half a grip size Too large a handle reduces wrist action and can strain the forearm.
Replacement interval
Change overgrips once they turn shiny, slick or torn rather than on a fixed schedule A worn grip makes players squeeze harder, increasing arm fatigue.

Brands that matter

  • Wilson: Pro Overgrip is the reference tacky overgrip.
  • Tourna: Best-known dry-feel overgrip.
  • Yonex: Durable, tacky Super Grap in large rolls.
  • Babolat: Strong replacement grips and overgrips.
  • Head: Hydrosorb replacement grips and various overgrips.

What to avoid

  • Stacking several overgrips to build up handle size instead of using a proper replacement grip or sleeve
  • Wrapping in the wrong direction for your dominant hand, which makes edges peel up

Questions

Which way should I wrap?

Right-handers usually wrap so the overlap faces up toward the head when held; left-handers wrap the opposite direction.
