Product Information
Full details
The Babolat Syntec Team Grip is an ideal choice for tennis and padel players who prioritize a direct, responsive connection with their racket handle. By offering a slim 1.5mm profile, it provides exceptional feedback and precision, making it perfect for competitive players who rely on subtle grip adjustments during matches. While its tacky surface offers superior traction, players who prefer a heavily cushioned or dampening feel may find this grip thinner than standard comfort options.

FAQs
Is this grip compatible with both tennis and padel rackets?
Yes, the Babolat Syntec Team grip is specifically designed for use on both tennis and padel rackets.
How does this compare to a standard overgrip?
This is a replacement base grip (1.5mm thick), which is thicker and more durable than a thin overgrip designed to be wrapped over an existing handle.
Will this increase the size of my handle?
Because it is a thin 1.5mm grip, it will add minimal bulk compared to thicker cushioned base grips, helping you maintain the original size specification of your handle.
How often should I replace this grip?
Frequency depends on play intensity; however, replace it once the surface loses its tacky feel or shows signs of material degradation to ensure consistent performance.
Can I use an overgrip on top of this?
Yes, many players use the Syntec Team as a base and apply their preferred overgrip on top to customize the final feel and thickness.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels slippery during play
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to remove sweat and dust accumulation, which can mask the tackiness.
Edges are bunching or creating ridges
Ensure a consistent overlap of 2-3mm during the wrapping process. Pull the grip with slight, consistent tension as you rotate the handle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent tackiness for a secure hold
- Provides maximum feel and feedback of the racket handle
- Ultra-thin profile reduces unwanted grip bulk
- Professional standard used on flagship Pure Strike models
Cons
- Less shock absorption due to thin material
- Tackiness may diminish faster than thicker synthetic grips
- Requires precise wrapping technique due to lack of thick cushioning
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Syntec Team grip, remove the existing base grip from your racket handle. Start at the butt cap, ensuring the tapered end of the grip is flush against the bottom. Overlap the edges by approximately 2-3mm as you wrap upward to ensure full coverage without creating ridges. Secure the top with the provided finishing tape. To maximize the lifespan of the grip, store your racket in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or hot vehicles for extended periods, as heat can break down the tackiness of the adhesive surface. When the grip begins to lose its tack or shows signs of wear, simply replace it to maintain optimal control.
