HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip , Purple

The HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip (Purple) is HEAD’s premier tour-level synthetic replacement grip, delivering a vibrant purple cosmetic paired with maximum feel, high tackiness, and precision handle feedback.

Designed as a thinner, higher-tactility alternative to standard replacement grips, the Hydrosorb Pro is built for competitive players who demand a direct, unattenuated connection to their racquet’s handle bevels.

At just 1.75 mm thick, it features a specialized twin-channel ventilation structure combined with a high-tack elastomer surface and fine micro-perforations. The Purple colorway adds a unique, high-energy accent to your frame while actively channeling sweat away from your palm to ensure a secure, slip-free hold during high-intensity play.

Performance Profile

1. Handle Bevel Tactility: 9 / 10: Excellent bevel definition. The thin 1.75 mm profile allows your hand 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. Custom Cosmetic Styling: Perfect for matching purple accents on racquets (such as select HEAD Gravity or Prestige designs) or adding a bold pop to neutral frames.
