FAQs
Is this a replacement grip or an overgrip?
This is a replacement grip, meaning it is intended to be applied directly to the handle palette after removing the original grip.
Can I use an overgrip over this?
Yes, many players prefer using an overgrip over the Leather Tour to keep the leather clean and adjust the feel.
Does this grip provide shock absorption?
It provides minimal shock absorption; it is designed for maximum feel and feedback rather than comfort.
Will this fit any standard racquet?
Yes, with a length of 118cm, it is designed to fit all standard-sized tennis racquet handles.
Does the grip come with finishing tape?
Yes, the product includes the necessary finishing tape to secure the end of the grip.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels too thin or hard during play
Apply a high-quality, cushioned overgrip over the leather to add comfort without losing the bevel feedback.
Grip is difficult to wrap around the handle corners
Ensure you maintain consistent tension while wrapping and increase the overlap slightly on the corners to keep it smooth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides exceptional feedback from the racquet strings
- Maintains bevel definition for better grip orientation
- Highly durable material resists wear over long periods
- Offers a professional, secure hold in various weather conditions
Cons
- Significantly firmer and less padded than synthetic grips
- May require more effort to wrap correctly due to lack of stretch
- Not ideal for players seeking high shock absorption
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Leather Tour grip requires a firm hand, as the leather material has minimal stretch compared to polyurethane-based grips. Begin by removing the old grip and cleaning any residual adhesive from the handle. Wrap the grip starting from the butt cap, overlapping the edges by approximately 2-3mm to ensure a flat, smooth surface. Secure the end with the provided finishing tape. To care for your grip, avoid leaving the racquet in direct, high-heat environments for extended periods, as this can cause the leather to dry out and become brittle. Many players choose to wrap a thin, overgrip over the leather base to preserve its longevity and adjust the level of tackiness to their preference.
