This makes it fundamentally different from an overgrip (like the Duratac+), which is meant to be wrapped over the main grip.
Here is a detailed description of the Viking ResiThin Replacement Grip and its intended use:
🌟 Key Performance Features
-
Thin Profile for Maximum Feel: The key selling point is its reduced thickness compared to a standard replacement grip (likely around 1.5mm). This thinness is intended to give the player extreme feel and feedback from the paddle handle.
-
Reduced Handle Size: Because it's thinner than most standard replacement grips, using the ResiThin will reduce the overall grip size of the paddle handle by a small amount (often noted as about 1/8 of a handle size). This is ideal for players who want their handle to feel smaller or who prefer to use a thinner grip with a tight overgrip on top.
- High-Friction, Low-Tack Formula: Unlike the highly sticky (tacky) Duratac+ overgrip, the ResiThin focuses on high friction but a low tack feel. This means the grip surface provides excellent slip resistance and a firm hold without feeling excessively sticky in the hand.
- Optimal for Platform Tennis: The unique surface is well-suited for the stop-and-start nature of Platform Tennis, providing a reliable grip in various weather conditions, especially for players who prefer a less cushioned, more direct feel.
- The ResiThin is for players who want a thin, firm foundation, while the Duratac+ is for players who want a sticky, disposable surface on top of their existing grip.
