The HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip (Black) is HEAD’s premier tour-level synthetic replacement grip in a timeless, solid black colorway, built for competitive players seeking maximum tackiness, a thin profile, and crisp handle bevel definition.
Designed as a thinner, higher-sensibility alternative to standard padded replacement grips, the Hydrosorb Pro gives you a close, unattenuated connection to your racquet’s handle.
At just 1.75 mm thick, it features a specialized twin-channel airflow core paired with a high-tack elastomer compound and fine micro-perforations. The classic Black colorway delivers a clean, professional appearance that matches any frame design while actively channeling moisture away from your palm for a slip-free hold.
Performance Profile
- Handle Bevel Tactility: 9 / 10: Superior bevel definition. The thin 1.75 mm design allows your hand to clearly feel the eight edges of the racquet handle for fast, accurate grip adjustments.
- Tackiness & Grip: 9 / 10: High-tack synthetic surface delivers maximum friction, preventing handle twisting during heavy off-center impacts.
- Sweat Absorbency: 8.5 / 10: Micro-perforated channels wick moisture away efficiently to keep your grip dry through long points.
- Comfort & Cushioning: 6.5 / 10: Thinner and firmer than standard Hydrosorb or Hydrosorb Comfort grips. Prioritizes feedback and feel over heavy vibration dampening.
- Durability: 8 / 10: Resists wear and friction under aggressive play, maintaining its tack and structure over time.
