HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip , GZ

The HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip (GZ / Grey-Green / Green Sand) is HEAD’s premier tour-level synthetic replacement grip in a specialized earthy muted shade, designed for 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 GZ color code (styled across regions as Grey-Green or Green Sand) offers a subtle, modern aesthetic that perfectly matches contemporary frame finishes (such as the HEAD Extreme or Radical lines) while actively channeling moisture away from your palm.

Performance Profile

1. 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.
2. Tackiness & Grip: 9 / 10: High-tack synthetic surface delivers superior traction, helping prevent racquet twisting in the hand on heavy off-center impacts.
3. Sweat Absorbency: 8.5 / 10: Perforated surface combined with airflow channels draws palm moisture away rapidly to maintain a dry feel.
4. Comfort & Cushioning: 6.5 / 10: Thinner and firmer than standard Hydrosorb or Hydrosorb Comfort grips. Prioritizes feedback and touch over heavy vibration dampening.
5. Durability: 8 / 10: Exceptional wear resistance against high-friction hand movement and aggressive play.

Best Suited For

1. Touring Competitors & Advanced Players: Ideal for players who need precise handle bevel feel and maximum surface tackiness.
2. Firm Base for Overgrips: Functions as an ideal, low-profile base grip under thin overgrips without making the handle feel too bulky.
3. Moisture Control in Warm Conditions: Great for players in humid climates who need maximum sweat ventilation directly at the base grip layer.
4. Earthy & Neutral Cosmetic Customization: Perfect for matching grey, olive, or green-sand accents on racquets or adding a sophisticated, understated color pop to dark frames.
