Viking ResiThin Replacement OverGrip

The Viking ResiThin Replacement Grip (often looked for as an overgrip, though technically designed as a full base replacement grip) is a specialized, ultra-thin high-performance grip. It is engineered specifically for platform tennis and paddle players who want to maximize handle feedback or reduce their overall handle circumference.

Manufactured under the Prince/Viking umbrella, it utilizes a distinct chemical formulation that prioritizes absolute feel and anti-slip security over thick, pillowy cushioning.

Core Technologies & Features

1. Grip Size Reduction: The defining characteristic of the ResiThin is its incredibly low profile. Installing this as your base grip directly onto the bare handle pallet will reduce the grip size by at least 1/8 of a handle size (roughly one full grip size downward).
2. High Friction, Low Tack Formula: Unlike standard wraps that rely on a sticky, gooey polyurethane coating to stay in your hand, the ResiThin uses a high-friction surface matrix. It feels relatively dry and smooth to the touch ("low tack"), but locks aggressively onto your hand or glove the moment you squeeze, preventing the paddle from twisting on off-center hits.
3. Extreme Maximum Feedback: By stripping away the dense, spongy foam layers found in standard factory grips, this thin profile allows your fingers to clearly feel the bevels of the handle. This direct feedback is highly favored by competitive players who rely on rapid grip changes between continental, eastern, and western facets.
4. Ideal Under-Grip Base: Because it lays perfectly flat and thin, it serves as the ultimate smooth foundation if you prefer to wrap a fresh, thin overgrip (like the Viking Tour Overgrip) over your paddle without ballooning the handle thickness.

Important Installation Note:

Because this is a true Replacement Grip (featuring an adhesive backing), you must completely remove your factory-installed grip down to the bare handle before wrapping the ResiThin. Pulling it tightly during installation ensures the cleanest, lowest profile possible.
