Tourna Grip 10 Grip Pack - XL Blue

The Tourna Grip XL Blue (10-Pack) is the most famous overgrip in tennis history, easily identified by its unique "Light Blue" color and distinctive purple finishing tape. Unlike almost every other grip on the market which tries to be "tacky" or "sticky," Tourna Grip is a dry-feel grip specifically engineered to perform better the more you sweat.

Performance Profile

1. The "Sweat" Advantage: While most grips become slippery when wet, Tourna Grip actually becomes grittier and more secure as it absorbs moisture. The proprietary material pulls sweat away from your palm and into the core of the grip.
2. The "Dry" Sensation: It has a unique, cloth-like suede texture. It is the polar opposite of a "tacky" or "rubberized" grip, making it ideal for players who find sticky grips irritating or prone to causing blisters.
3. XL Dimensions: The "XL" designation is crucial for modern equipment. It is longer and wider than the original version, designed specifically to cover the longer handles of modern racquets and to accommodate the high wrapping required for two-handed backhands.
4. Professional Feedback: Because it is thin and non-cushioned, it offers the most direct "feel" of the racquet's bevels of any grip on the market. This is why it has been the choice of hundreds of touring pros for decades.

Best Suited For

1. Heavy Sweaters: If you find yourself changing racquets or drying your hands constantly during a match, this grip is the industry gold standard for moisture management.
2. Hot & Humid Climates: It is the go-to choice for summer tennis or indoor play where airflow is limited.
3. Two-Handed Backhands: The XL length ensures you can wrap all the way to the top of the handle without running out of material.
4. Precision Players: Those who want to feel every edge of the handle to ensure their grip alignment is perfect for serves and volleys.

Pro-Tip

Tourna Grip is designed for performance, not necessarily for long-term aesthetic durability. It is a "sacrificial" grip; as it absorbs sweat and friction, the top layer will eventually start to "fuzz" or wear through. Most competitive players treat these as single-match or single-session grips to ensure they always have that fresh, dry, sandpaper-like traction. Having a 10-pack in your bag ensures you can quickly refresh your handle during a changeover.
