Babolat Syntec Pro Tennis Grip , Silvery Black

The Babolat Syntec Pro Replacement Grip (Silvery Black / Black-Silver) is Babolat’s flagship, tour-level base grip. It is famously installed as the standard factory grip on their premium performance frames, including the Pure Drive and Pure Aero series, and is trusted on tour by elite players like Rafael Nadal.

The "Silvery Black" edition features a stealthy, matte black foundation accented with crisp silver Babolat branding and text, offering a sleek and modern look that pairs beautifully with almost any racquet cosmetic.

Performance Profile

1. Bestselling Sweat Absorption: As one of the most absorbent synthetic base grips in Babolat's catalog, it carries a high 130% absorption rating. It effectively traps sweat to prevent the racquet from slipping or twisting during high-speed baseline exchanges.
2. Optimal Balance of Feel & Comfort: At 1.9 mm thick, it delivers a precise midpoint handle response. It is thin enough to clearly convey the handle bevels for quick, intuitive grip changes, yet cushioned enough to prevent the harsh, raw stiffness typical of a traditional leather grip.
3. Sticky Polyurethane Traction (High Tack): The outer elastomer layer features a reliable, tacky finish. This adhesive structure maximizes hand-to-handle traction, allowing you to maintain a relaxed, confident hold without needing to squeeze the racquet too tightly.

Best Suited For

1. Competitive & Tournament Players: Advanced players who need a firm, tactile connection to the racquet's edges for ultimate control and direct ball feedback.
2. Pure Drive & Aero Customizers: Anyone looking to refresh or maintain the original, factory-spec handle dynamics of Babolat's top performance frames.
3. Heavy Sweaters Who Use Overgrips: It serves as a highly absorbent foundation. If you sweat heavily, layering an ultra-thin overgrip (like the VS Original) over this 1.9 mm base creates an elite, slip-free configuration without over-bulking the handle.
