Product Information
Full details
The Babolat Syntec Pro replacement grip is designed for serious tennis and padel players who demand a precise connection between their hand and their racket. This professional-grade grip offers superior moisture absorption and a consistent, firm feel, making it the ideal choice for those who use top-tier frames like the Pure Aero or Pure Drive; however, users should note that as a full replacement grip, it requires more technical skill to install than a simple overgrip.

FAQs
Is this an overgrip or a replacement grip?
This is a replacement grip. It is designed to replace the original grip that comes on your racket, not to be wrapped over the top of an existing one.
Can I use this on a padel racket?
Yes, the Babolat Syntec Pro is suitable for both tennis and padel rackets.
How thick is the Syntec Pro?
The grip has a thickness of 1.9mm, which is designed to provide a balance between comfort and tactile handle feedback.
Does this pack include finishing tape?
Yes, each grip includes the necessary finishing tape to secure the end at the throat of the racket.
Will this grip change the handle size?
Because it is a replacement grip, it should maintain the original handle size of your racket frame.
How often should I replace it?
Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity, but most competitive players replace their base grip once it loses its tackiness or begins to flatten significantly.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels lumpy or uneven
The overlap was likely inconsistent; remove the grip and re-wrap, ensuring a uniform 2-3mm overlap between layers.
Grip unravels at the top
Ensure the finishing tape is applied firmly and wraps entirely around the top edge of the grip, pressing down on the racket shaft.
Grip feels slippery during play
Clean the grip surface with a damp cloth to remove accumulated sweat and dirt, or ensure you are using a clean overgrip over the top if preferred.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent, tacky feel that improves racket control
- Superior sweat-absorption capabilities for humid conditions
- Standardized thickness provides clear feedback of handle bevels
- Durable construction ensures a long lifespan between replacements
- Matches the factory-spec feel of premium Babolat rackets
Cons
- Requires removing the old base grip, which can be time-consuming
- Less cushioning compared to specialized 'comfort' or 'gel' grips
- Installation requires careful overlapping to ensure a smooth finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Babolat Syntec Pro, you must first remove your existing base grip by peeling it away from the butt cap, being careful to leave the underlying handle material intact. Begin the application at the butt cap, overlapping the material slightly as you wrap upward toward the throat of the racket. Ensure consistent tension throughout the process to prevent bumps or gaps. For best results, secure the top edge with the included finishing tape. To maintain the grip's performance, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth after play to remove excess dirt and salt from sweat. When the surface loses its tackiness or shows signs of thinning, it is time for a full replacement.
