The Yonex Towel Grip (AC402EX, Blue) is a 100% premium cotton overgrip engineered specifically for badminton players who experience 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 fast-paced rallies.
Performance Profile
- Sweat Absorption (10/10): Superior moisture-wicking capacity. It pulls sweat away from the hand to maintain maximum security during long, intense matches.
- Grip Tackiness (6/10): Features a plush, fibrous texture rather than a sticky finish, relying on natural cotton fiber friction for hold.
- Comfort & Cushioning (8/10): Soft, padded construction that expands handle circumference slightly and helps absorb racquet frame vibrations.
- Durability (6/10): Requires routine replacement, as cotton fibers naturally harden over time after repeated sweat and dry cycles.
Best Suited For
- Heavy Sweaters: Ideal for players whose hands sweat excessively, rendering standard tacky PU grips slick and hard to handle.
- Hot & Humid Environments: Perfect for playing in non-air-conditioned courts or tropical climates.
- Classic Athletic Styling: The deep blue shade offers a bold, clean look that complements navy, black, white, or multi-colored frames.
- Thicker Grip Preference: Great for players who prefer a plush, slightly thicker handle feel for relaxed wrist control.
Pro Tip: Pair towel grips with Yonex Grip Powder (AC470) to maximize dry friction, and replace the grip once the cotton fibers lose their soft pile and harden.
