Babolat Syntec Pro Tennis Grip , Black

The Babolat Syntec Pro Replacement Grip (Black) is Babolat’s flagship, tour-level base grip. It serves as the standard factory-installed grip on their most iconic premium performance frames, including the Pure Drive and Pure Aero series, and is trusted by elite touring pros worldwide.

The all-black edition offers a stealthy, classic look that pairs seamlessly with any racquet frame. It is highly valued for its ability to hide court dirt, graphite residue, and sweat stains over long-term use.

Performance Profile

1. Tour-Grade Sweat Absorption: As the benchmark synthetic base grip for competitive players, it features an impressive 130% absorption rating. It effectively traps moisture to prevent the racquet from slipping or twisting during aggressive, high-speed baseline exchanges.
2. Optimal Balance of Feel & Comfort: At 1.9 mm thick, it is engineered for a precise, responsive handle feel. It is lean enough to clearly convey the handle’s bevels for intuitive grip adjustments, yet contains just enough underlying cushion to soften harsh frame vibrations.
3. Sticky Polyurethane Traction (High Tack): The outer elastomer layer provides a reliable, tacky finish. This adhesive texture maximizes hand-to-handle friction, allowing you to maintain a relaxed, confident hold without having to over-squeeze the racquet.

Best Suited For

1. Competitive & Tournament Players: Advanced players who demand a firm, tactile connection to the racquet's edges for maximum control and direct ball feedback.
2. Babolat Frame Owners: Anyone looking to refresh and restore the exact factory-spec handle dynamics of their Pure Drive, Pure Aero, or Pure Strike frames.
3. Low-Maintenance Competitors: Players who want a high-performance grip but prefer a deep black colorway that stays looking clean and fresh match after match.
