The HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip (Grey) is HEAD’s premier tour-level synthetic replacement grip in a clean, neutral grey cosmetic, engineered for competitive players seeking maximum tackiness, a thin profile, and direct handle bevel feedback.
Designed as a thinner, higher-sensibility alternative to standard padded replacement grips, the Hydrosorb Pro provides an unattenuated, close-contact feel with your racquet’s handle.
At just 1.75 mm thick, it features a specialized twin-channel airflow ventilation core combined with a high-tack elastomer compound and fine micro-perforations. The Grey colorway offers a subtle, modern look that seamlessly complements dark, silver, or muted frame designs while actively channeling moisture away from your palm.
Performance Profile
- Handle Bevel Tactility: 9 / 10: Outstanding bevel definition. The thin 1.75 mm profile allows your fingers to clearly feel every edge of the racquet handle for precise grip adjustments.
- Tackiness & Grip: 9 / 10: High-tack synthetic surface delivers superior traction, helping prevent racquet twisting in the hand on heavy off-center impacts.
- Sweat Absorbency: 8.5 / 10: Perforated surface combined with airflow channels draws palm moisture away rapidly to maintain a dry feel.
- Comfort & Cushioning: 6.5 / 10: Thinner and firmer than standard Hydrosorb or Hydrosorb Comfort grips. Prioritizes feedback and touch over heavy vibration dampening.
- Durability: 8 / 10: Exceptional wear resistance against high-friction hand movement and aggressive play.
Best Suited For
- Touring Competitors & Advanced Players: Ideal for players who need precise handle bevel feel and maximum surface tackiness.
- Firm Base for Overgrips: Functions as an ideal, low-profile base grip under thin overgrips without making the handle feel too bulky.
- Moisture Control in Warm Conditions: Great for players in humid climates who need maximum sweat ventilation directly at the base grip layer.
- Subtle & Modern Styling: Perfect for pairing with grey, black, silver, or muted frames (such as HEAD Gravity or Speed models).
