Yonex Towel Grip , Sax (Saxe Blue)

The Yonex Towel Grip (AC402EX, Sax / Saxe Blue) is a 100% high-grade cotton overgrip engineered for badminton players who experience heavy palm perspiration. Unlike standard synthetic polyurethane (PU) grips, cotton towel grips excel at rapidly absorbing sweat, preventing the racquet handle from twisting or slipping out of your hand during intense rallies. "Sax" refers to Yonex's signature light, pastel blue color.

Performance Profile

1. Sweat Absorption (10/10): Superior moisture-wicking capability. It pulls sweat away from the hand to maintain maximum security during high-intensity matches.
2. Grip Tackiness (6/10): Features a plush, fibrous texture rather than a sticky feel, relying on natural cotton fiber friction for security.
3. Comfort & Cushioning (8/10): Soft, padded construction that expands handle circumference slightly and helps absorb racquet frame vibrations.
4. Durability (6/10): Requires routine replacement, as cotton fibers naturally harden over time after repeated sweat and dry cycles.

Best Suited For

1. Heavy Sweaters: Ideal for players whose hands sweat profusely, rendering standard tacky PU grips slick and difficult to manage.
2. Hot & Humid Environments: Perfect for playing in non-air-conditioned sports halls or tropical climates.
3. Vibrant Frame Customization: The bright, light-blue Sax aesthetic adds a clean, energetic contrast to white, blue, or dark-colored racquet frames.
4. 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.
