VIKING Duratac+ Platform Tennis Overgrip

The VIKING Duratac+ Platform Tennis Overgrip is designed specifically to enhance the feel, tackiness, and sweat absorption of a Platform Tennis paddle handle.

While Viking's official website often features their "Tour Overgrip" as their main offering, the name "Duratac+" strongly suggests a specialized product prioritizing a high degree of tack (stickiness).

Here is a detailed description based on the common features of performance overgrips, especially those with a "Tac" (Tacky) designation:

🌟 Key Performance Features

• Maximum Tack (Stickiness): The "Duratac" name is meant to convey high tackiness (a very sticky feel). The "+" designation implies this tack is enhanced or prolonged. This is crucial for Platform Tennis, where players often rely on a secure, non-slip grip despite cold, wet conditions or high-intensity play.

• Superior Control and Feel: Being an overgrip, it is designed to be very thin (typically around 0.5mm to 0.6mm). This thinness ensures you don't significantly increase the handle size, allowing you to maintain the original paddle grip size and feel the paddle bevels (edges) for better control and quick grip changes.

• Moisture Management: While it provides tack, it is also engineered to have a level of perspiration absorption. This balance is key to preventing the paddle from slipping when your hand is sweating or when the paddle gets damp from snow or rain, which are common issues in Platform Tennis.

Enhanced Durability: The "Dura" prefix suggests the material is more durable than a typical feather-light overgrip, offering resistance against the rough textures of a typical perforated Platform Tennis paddle handle.

Difference from Durasoft+:

It is important to note the difference between the Duratac+ Overgrip and the Durasoft+ Replacement Grip (which was discussed previously).

• Duratac+ is thin and focuses on tack (stickiness).

• Durasoft+ is thick and focuses on softness/cushioning (shock absorption).
