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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Competitive & Tournament Players: Advanced players who demand a firm, tactile connection to the racquet's edges for maximum control and direct ball feedback.
- 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.
- 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.
