HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip , SO

The HEAD Hydrosorb™ Pro Tennis Replacement Grip (SO / Smooth Orange) is HEAD’s premier tour-level synthetic replacement grip in a vibrant orange colorway, built for competitive players seeking a high-tack surface, thin profile, and crisp handle bevel definition.

Designed as a thinner, higher-sensibility alternative to standard plush replacement grips, the Hydrosorb Pro gives you a close, direct 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 Smooth Orange (SO) colorway brings a lively, energetic look to your setup while actively pulling moisture away from your palm for a slip-free hold.

Performance Profile

1. 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.
2. Tackiness & Grip (9 / 10): High-tack synthetic surface delivers maximum friction, preventing handle twisting during heavy off-center impacts.
3. Sweat Absorbency (8.5 / 10): Micro-perforated channels wick moisture away efficiently to keep your grip dry through long points.
4. Comfort & Cushioning (6.5 / 10): Thinner and firmer than standard Hydrosorb or Hydrosorb Comfort grips. Prioritizes feedback and feel over heavy vibration dampening.
5. Durability (8 / 10): Resists wear and friction under aggressive play, maintaining its tack and structure over time.

Best Suited For

1. Competitive & Advanced Players: Ideal for players who want a thin, tour-standard feel with maximum handle feedback.
2. Firm Base for Overgrips: Serves as a perfect low-profile base grip underneath overgrips (such as HEAD Prime Pro or Tourna Grip) without bulking up your handle size.
3. Moisture Management in Warm Weather: Great for high-sweat environments where continuous sweat drainage is required at the base grip level.
4. Vibrant Cosmetic Matching: Complements orange accents on racquets (like the HEAD Radical series) or adds a bold pop of color to neutral frames.
