Where it wins and loses
against the average for this categoryA dry-feel, high-absorption overgrip — the opposite end of the tack spectrum from Wilson's Pro Overgrip above, and one of the longest-standing, most recognisable names in this specific niche.
What the sources agree on
High absorption paired with a dry rather than tacky finish is a distinct, well-established category aimed specifically at players whose hands sweat enough that a tacky surface turns slick — the dry/high-absorption combination is the mechanism, not a marketing claim, and it's the reason this grip has stayed a staple recommendation for exactly that player profile for a long time.
Where they disagree
Thickness isn't published for this listing, so we can't compare its build-up under the hand to the 0.60 mm Wilson overgrip above with real numbers — and 'dry feel' is inherently more polarising than a tacky finish, genuinely loved by players who need the sweat management and genuinely disliked by players who prefer a tackier feel against the palm, which no spec sheet resolves either way.
