Since this leather grip is nice and supple, it added some weight to the handle of my sons racquet, making it more headlight. The grip itself seems to be of high quality leather and it feels smooth to the touch. Just be sure to take your time and carefully wrap it around your racquet handle, otherwise youll end up with an uncomfortable handle. Then just put a Wilson Pro Overgrip or a TournTac overgrip on top and youre good! 5 stars! Tennis Express ships VERY FAST!

I have purchased Volkl Black leather grip once before and recently i got one brown and another black. For some reason the brown one seems to be somewhat Dry or stiff. In other words is missing flexibility compared with the black one. Now I dont know if was just the one I got or they are all like that. Another reason why maybe this was probably old and dried out, is also that the glue wasnt sticking correctly on the handle. No problems with the black one.

While I was customizing my racquet to make it heavier and head-light balanced, I tried different brands of leather grip and this Volkl leather grip is one of my favorite; it has smooth feeling, adequate tackiness, and weight. Highly recommend it!!

The Volkl leather grip is a smooth , soft, and heavy grip that stays pliable even when drying out. The oils in the grip help keep most of the perspiration from your hand, out of the grip. It is easy to install and pull tight because of the suppleness. I would recommend a volkl leather grip over other leather grips. Ted Allely
