Now that the summer heat and monsoon humidity are here, it means we will be perspiring more. Now is the time to take a moment to check your grip and replace it or add an overwrap grip. Over-grips are ideal for those looking for a softer feel and more cushion, while replacement grips are more suited for the player wanting a firmer grip that increases control and durability. Players play their best when in control and have power, feel, and comfort.
You can wear your tennis shoes for years, but take a look at the soles. Do they still have good rubber traction to help you get around the court? Even though you can still wear it, it has lost its performance, comfort, and durability. It’s time to replace your shoes, just like your tennis grip. Remember, grips are just a temporary feature. When it has lost the stickiness and appearance it once had, that is a sign it is time to replace it, so get a grip on yourself!
