Yonex Leather Excel Pro Grip White

The Yonex Leather Excel Pro AC128 base grip in white

The Leather Excel Pro is a replacement grip: it wraps directly around the racket handle, in place of the original grip. At 1.60 mm thick with a perforated surface, Yonex highlights it for comfort and feel at impact.

Who is it for?

Tennis and badminton players whose original grip is worn, hardened or has lost its tack, and who want a comfortable handle again. It works very well with an overgrip on top.

The Extreme Tennis team's verdict

Replacing the base grip is often overlooked, yet a worn grip hardens the handle and dulls the feel. The Leather Excel Pro restores a comfortable touch without building up the handle too much. Keep the same thickness as the original grip if you don't want to change your grip size.
