Yonex Towel Grip , Black

The Yonex Towel Grip (AC402EX, Black) is a 100% cotton overgrip designed specifically for badminton players who suffer from heavy palm perspiration. Unlike synthetic polyurethane (PU) grips, cotton towel grips excel at rapidly absorbing sweat, keeping the handle dry and preventing the racquet from twisting or slipping out of hand during intense rallies.

Performance Profile

1. Sweat Absorption (10/10): Exceptional moisture absorption. It soaks up sweat directly from the palm to maintain maximum security during long, hot matches.
2. Grip Tackiness (6/10): Soft and plush texture rather than sticky/tacky. It relies on fiber friction for hold rather than chemical coatings.
3. Comfort & Cushioning (8/10): Provides a comfortable, padded feel that slightly expands handle circumference and dampens impact shock.
4. Durability (6/10): Requires more frequent replacement than synthetic grips, as cotton fibers harden over time after repeated sweat-drying cycles.

Best Suited For

1. Heavy Sweaters: Ideal for players whose hands sweat excessively during play, causing standard PU grips (like Super Grap) to become slick and slippery.
2. Warm & Humid Conditions: Perfect for playing in non-air-conditioned courts or hot climates.
3. Thicker Handle Preference: Excellent for players who prefer a slightly thicker, softer grip handle for enhanced palm comfort.
4. Sleek Aesthetic: The solid black color resists visible dirt accumulation better than lighter towel grip colors.

Pro Tip: Pair towel grips with Yonex Grip Powder (AC470) to maximize dry friction, and always replace the grip once the cotton fibers lose their softness and harden.
