The HEAD Prime Tour is a premium, high-performance overgrip designed for players seeking a refined balance between soft cushioning, moderate tackiness, and reliable moisture absorption. Frequently positioned as HEAD’s direct competitor to iconic grips like the Wilson Pro and Yonex Super Grap, the Prime Tour provides a plush, comfortable hold without excessively thickening the racket handle.
Performance Profile
- Tackiness (7.5/10): Features a balanced, medium-tacky feel. It offers enough initial cling to keep the racket from slipping under rotation, while feeling smooth and supple in hand rather than sticky or adhesive.
- Absorbency (8/10): Built with an absorbent inner micro-fibre felt layer that wicks away light-to-moderate perspiration to maintain secure traction throughout extended rallies.
- Feel & Feedback (8.5/10): At 0.60 mm, it provides a direct, close-to-the-frame connection. It offers enough cushion to prevent calluses while allowing clear definition of the handle bevels for precise grip transitions.
- Durability (8/10): The durable elastomer coating retains its structural integrity and plush feel through hours of match play without shredding prematurely.
Best Suited For
- Intermediate & Advanced Players: Ideal for players who need reliable grip stability and direct handle feedback on fast grip changes during competitive play.
- All-Around Comfort Seekers: Perfect for players who find dry overgrips too rough or ultra-tacky overgrips too sticky.
- Mild to Moderate Sweaters: Performs exceptionally well in standard or mildly humid play conditions where moisture absorption and consistent tack are necessary.
