Head Leather Tour Replacement Grip

The Head Leather Tour Replacement Grip is a premium, 100% genuine calfskin leather grip designed for players who want the ultimate in racquet feedback and traditional performance. This is not an overgrip; it is a full replacement grip intended to be wrapped directly onto the racquet's handle pallet.

Performance Profile

1. Maximum Feedback: Unlike synthetic replacement grips that use foam or gel to dampen vibration, leather transmits every sensation from the string bed directly to your hand. This is essential for "touch" players who need to feel exactly how the ball is interacting with the racquet.
2. Defined Bevels: Leather is much firmer and less compressible than synthetic materials. When installed, it makes the bevels (edges) of the handle feel significantly sharper and more distinct, allowing for more precise and instinctive grip changes.
3. Direct "Raw" Feel: This grip provides a firm, solid connection. It removes the "mushy" feeling often associated with modern cushioned grips, providing a more old-school, professional experience.
4. Long-Term Durability: High-quality leather is incredibly durable. While it may lose some of its initial tackiness, it will not flake, peel, or disintegrate like synthetic grips, often lasting for years if properly maintained.

Technical Considerations

1. Weight & Balance: Leather is significantly heavier than synthetic grips. Installing a Head Leather Tour grip will typically add 10–15 grams to the handle, shifting the balance of the racquet toward the "head-light" side. This can make the racquet feel faster and more maneuverable at the net.
2. Thickness: At 1.5mm, it provides a thin profile that keeps the handle size true to its original measurement.
3. Adhesive Backing: It features a full adhesive backing for a secure, non-slip installation on the handle.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced & Professional Players: Those who require maximum "feel" and want the most direct communication from their equipment.
2. Players Customizing Balance: If your racquet feels too head-heavy, switching to this leather grip is one of the easiest ways to add weight to the handle and adjust the balance point.
3. Overgrip Users: Most players who use leather grips apply an overgrip on top. The leather provides a firm, perfectly shaped foundation that makes any overgrip feel more stable.
