FAQs

What does SRF stand for?

SRF stands for 'Slow Release Formula,' a technology used in the grip's surface to provide a long-lasting tacky feel.

How many grips are in a box?

Each box contains 24 Karakal PU Super Air Grips.

What colors are included in the assorted box?

The box contains 6 assorted colors, with 4 grips of each color.

Can I use this grip on my tennis racket?

Yes, the grip has a universal length and is designed to fit all racket types, including tennis rackets.

How often should I replace the grip?

Replacement frequency depends on usage. For heavy players, every 4-6 weeks is common. Lighter users might get 2-3 months per grip.

Is the grip waterproof?

The grip is designed for sweat absorption and breathability, not for being waterproof. It should be allowed to air dry if it gets wet.

Does it come with finishing tape?

Typically, overgrips come with a small piece of finishing tape to secure the end. Check the packaging for confirmation.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels too sticky initially

This is normal for the 'super tacky' feel. It should become slightly less intense after a short break-in period or a few minutes of play.

Grip is not adhering well

Ensure the racket handle is clean and dry before application. Re-apply slight pressure along the entire length of the grip.

Reduced tackiness over time

Wipe the grip with a damp cloth to remove surface grime. Allow it to dry fully. If tackiness doesn't return significantly, it may be time to replace the grip.

Grip feels slippery when hands are very wet

While the air holes improve breathability, extreme moisture can still affect grip. Ensure hands are as dry as possible before play. Consider using a towel frequently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers superior tackiness for a secure hold.
  • Excellent breathability keeps hands cool and dry.
  • Durable construction leads to a longer lifespan.
  • Easy to apply with self-adhesive backing.
  • Universal size fits all racket types.

Cons

  • May wear out faster with extremely heavy use compared to some specialized grips.
  • The tackiness might be too intense for players who prefer a smoother feel.
  • Assorted colors mean less choice if a specific color is desired for all grips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Remove the old grip or overgrip from your racket handle.
  2. Clean the handle surface to ensure it is free from dust and debris.
  3. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive strip on the Karakal grip.
  4. Starting from the butt cap, carefully wrap the grip around the handle, ensuring even tension and overlap. The tapered end should align with the end of the handle.
  5. Secure the end of the grip with the provided finishing tape (if included) or by tucking it firmly.

Compatibility:

This grip is designed with a universal length, making it compatible with all types of rackets, including tennis, badminton, squash, and pickleball. Its self-adhesive nature ensures it adheres well to various handle materials.

Care:

To maintain the grip's performance:

  • Wipe the grip with a slightly damp cloth after play to remove sweat and dirt.
  • Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals, as they can degrade the material.
  • Allow the grip to air dry completely if it becomes wet.
  • Store your racket in a dry place to prevent moisture damage to the grip.
