HEAD Hydrosorb™ Comfort Replacement Grip , Black

The HEAD Hydrosorb™ Comfort Replacement Grip (Black) is the most cushioned and shock-absorbent variant in HEAD's popular Hydrosorb family. It is engineered specifically for players who prioritize arm comfort, joint protection, and a plush, dampened feel at the handle.

While the standard Hydrosorb grip focuses on a balanced 1.8 mm thickness, the Hydrosorb Comfort steps up the cushioning with an extra-thick 2.1 mm elastomer construction.

It features an extra-large air channel system beneath a perforated surface, which works dual-fold: it actively channels away palm sweat while dampening heavy frame vibrations before they reach your wrist and elbow. The classic Black colorway provides a clean, universal look that matches virtually any racquet frame without showing wear easily.

Performance Profile

1. Comfort & Cushioning (10 / 10): Maximum shock absorption. The thickest option in the Hydrosorb series, making it ideal for dampening off-center frame impact.
2. Sweat Absorbency (8.5 / 10): Large surface perforations and built-in airflow channels keep hands dry and secure during long rallies.
3. Tackiness & Grip (8 / 10): High-tack elastomer compound prevents racquet twisting in the hand on heavy shots.
4. Handle Bevel Tactility (5.5 / 10): Due to its thicker (2.1 mm) profile, it rounds off handle bevels slightly more than thinner replacement grips or genuine leather.
5. Durability (8 / 10): High density and excellent resistance to tearing and friction over extended play.

Best Suited For

1. Players with Elbow or Wrist Pain: Excellent for anyone suffering from tennis elbow, wrist soreness, or shoulder fatigue looking for extra shock relief at the handle.
2. Slightly Increasing Grip Size: The added 2.1 mm thickness will slightly bulk up your grip handle (roughly half a grip size), perfect if your current handle feels a touch small.
3. Stand-Alone Base Grip Play: Ideal for players who do not use overgrips and want maximum built-in cushioning directly on the replacement grip.
4. Stiff Frame Dampening: Great for pairing with stiffer modern control or power racquets to tame frame harshness.
