Product Information

Full details

The Babolat VS Original Overgrip is designed for tennis players who prioritize thinness and maximum feel, making it a preferred choice for professionals and competitive athletes. It offers excellent perspiration absorption and a secure, matte finish to enhance handle manageability during intense matches. While it provides superior tactile feedback, its ultra-thin profile means it may require more frequent replacement than thicker, more cushioned grip alternatives.

FAQs

Is the Babolat VS Original suitable for beginners?

Yes, although it is favored by pros for its thin feel, beginners can use it if they prefer a slim grip profile that doesn't change the racket handle size.

Does this grip come with finishing tape?

Yes, every pack includes the necessary finishing tape to secure the grip at the top of the handle.

How often should I replace my overgrip?

Depending on your sweat levels and frequency of play, you should replace the overgrip once it loses its tackiness or shows visible signs of wear.

Can I use this on a squash or badminton racket?

While designed for tennis, its thin properties can technically be applied to other racket sports, though it is specifically optimized for tennis handle sizes.

Is this a replacement grip or an overgrip?

This is an overgrip, meant to be wrapped over the base grip of your racket.

Troubleshooting

Overgrip feels slippery after only a short time

Ensure you are using a clean sweatband or towel during play to minimize moisture buildup, as the thin material will reach its saturation point faster than thicker grips.

Edges of the overgrip are peeling

Check your wrapping technique to ensure a consistent overlap. Use the provided finishing tape securely to lock the final edge in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the Babolat VS Original is straightforward due to its flexible, thin material. To ensure optimal performance:

Preparation: Start with a clean base grip. If your base grip is old or worn, consider replacing it before applying the overgrip.
Application: Begin at the bottom of the handle, slightly overlapping each layer to ensure a smooth, uniform surface without bunching.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard tennis racket handles. It works best when applied directly over the base grip or a synthetic replacement grip.
Care: To extend the life of the overgrip, wipe your handle with a clean towel after matches to remove excess moisture and prevent salt buildup from perspiration.
