Highlights

Absorbent as well as tacky

Standard Super Grap grips the hand. Pure does that and takes up moisture as well, which is the version that suits a humid climate. In Dar es Salaam that is not a small distinction - sweat has nowhere to evaporate to, and a grip that only relies on tack eventually goes slick.

Absorbent and tacky

Yonex-s own description. It takes moisture up rather than letting it sit on the surface.

Polyurethane, 0.6 mm

Thin enough to barely change the handle size, enough to cushion the hand.

Single wrap

Sold as one, so you can try it against standard Super Grap without buying a pack.

Badminton, tennis and squash

Same overgrip works across all three racket sports.

Product description

About this product

Super Grap Pure Overgrip – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

Super Grap Pure is the absorbent variant of Yonex-s Super Grap overgrip, sold as a single wrap.

Dimensionally it is identical to standard Super Grap: polyurethane, 25 mm wide, 1,200 mm long, 0.6 mm thick. Yonex publish no material or thickness difference between the two. What differs is how they are positioned and how they feel – Yonex describe standard Super Grap as tacky, and Pure as absorbent and tacky.

In practice that distinction matters most in a climate like this one. A purely tacky grip holds well while your hand is dry and a little damp, and then goes slick once sweat is sitting on the surface with nowhere to evaporate to. An absorbent grip takes that moisture up into the material. It saturates eventually too, but it buys you longer, and in a hot hall in Dar es Salaam that is the difference between holding the racket and adjusting it every rally.

Sold as a single wrap, it is an easy thing to try against your usual grip – put Pure on one racket and standard Super Grap on another, play a session, and you will know within a game which you prefer.

As with any overgrip, each wrap adds about half a grip size, so it doubles as a way to build a small handle up to fit your hand.

Questions

Good to know

What is the difference between Super Grap and Super Grap Pure?

Yonex publish identical material and dimensions for both - polyurethane, 25 x 1200 x 0.6 mm. The difference is the feel they are tuned for: standard Super Grap is described as tacky, Pure as absorbent and tacky. Anything claiming a thickness or material difference between them is wrong.

Overgrip or replacement grip - which is this?

An overgrip. It goes on over the grip already on the racket, adding a thin tacky layer. A replacement grip is thicker and goes on instead of the original. Overgrips are what almost everyone uses, because they are cheap, quick to change and let you build the handle up a size.

How do I wrap one?

Start at the butt end with the tapered end of the tape, wrap upwards with about a third of the width overlapping each turn, keep it under steady tension all the way, and finish with the supplied tape. Do not stretch it hard at the end or it will unwind.

How often should I change it?

When it stops being tacky or starts feeling slick with sweat. In this climate that is far sooner than in cooler places - many players here change one every few sessions. It is the cheapest thing you can do to improve your grip on the racket.

Can I use it to make my grip bigger?

Yes, and that is the usual way. Each wrap adds roughly half a grip size. Buy a G5 racket and build it up with one or two overgrips if you have large hands - you cannot make a big handle smaller.

Does it work for tennis and squash too?

Yes. The same overgrip is used across badminton, tennis and squash, and Super Grap is one of the most widely used overgrips in all three.

Why does my grip go slippery so fast here?

Humidity. Sweat has nowhere to evaporate to, so it sits on the surface. An absorbent overgrip helps, changing it often helps more, and a towel by the court helps most. Some players carry a second racket purely so they can swap when the grip is soaked.

Should I keep spares?

Yes. Overgrips are inexpensive, they take no room, and a soaked grip mid-match is the sort of thing that quietly costs you points.
