ADV Tennis Dry Overgrip - 12 or 30 Pack - Ultra Absorbent Grip Tape with Exclusive FeltTac Material for High Velvety Comfort - Pro Tested & Designed

I was in a bad mood when I bought these grips. I'm a 4.0 player and had just finished the most frustrating afternoon of tennis that I can remember, and it was all because I had sweat through not one, but two new Wilson overgrips in an hour to the point where I could not serve with any power without losing control of my racquet completely. I live in Dallas and the humidity can be a problem, especially in 100+ degree weather, and this particular afternoon was both. Desperate for anything that could keep both my palms and my grip dry, I wrapped my racquet with one of these ADV Dry Overgrips and went back out the following weekend to virtually the exact same conditions as before and HOLY SMOKES! One grip lasted all afternoon and while my hands still sweat, my palms remained mostly dry and I noticed near to no wetness on the grip itself. I played a full 2 hours in the heat without any grip issues at all. I hadn't heard of ADV before, but I won't buy anything else from now on. Fantastic product that works as advertised and then some.

This is good stuff.But it's not Tournagrip.I love Tournagrip, but Wal-Mart no longer carries the stuff, so my supply sources are limited locally. THIS stuff is a very good overgrip----and you get reasonable value for your money. Compared to Tournagrip, it is a bit squisher and a tad thicker---so you don't have as exact a feel for the racquet handle bevels as you do with Tournagrip. It does not have as much of a dry feel as Tournagrip.But it's good for the money.

I ordered a 12-pack off Amazon a couple weeks ago and have played with the grips about 5 times now for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours per time.1. I absolutely love the feel better than Tourna Grip.2. ADV grips make the grip slightly bigger in size.....not too much to make me want to turn them away though.3. Are ADV grips as absorbent as Tourna Grip? So far, yes, but here in Indiana the temps are between 60-70 degrees (even cooler in the evening when I have been playing), so those hot days of playing in high temps and humidity will be tested next summer.Bottom line, I actually like the grips and will continue to use them.

I have been using Wilson Advantage grips for a long time. I gave these ADV grips a try. I play with a 4 3/8" grip and the Wilson Advantage takes the grip size to 4 1/2". These ADV grips increase it to a whopping 4 3/4". This affects my swing quite a bit. Amazing how much an extra 1/4" will cause! Had a lot of trouble finding the bevels while playing due to the 'roundness' created by the thicker over grip.I also found that the bottom begins to shift and slide off faster than the Wilson Advantage.But, It IS very absorbent! Dry as the desert air.I won't be using ADV anymore, though. I'm just not willing to go through an adjustment phase for an over grip. Tennis is hard enough as it is. :)

Has been holding a lot better than the Wilsons and grips better than the Gamma Tourna grips I used to use. Has a nice feel. I have played 3 1.5 hour sessions and a match and it still is holding good with very little wear. P.S. I sweat a lot!!

So I ordered these on a whim after I saw someone over at the Tennis Warehouse forums raving about them. My overgrip of choice for the hot seasons is the OG TournaGrip. Tourna is a bit more expensive than these, and their durability is quite pitiful. So I was open to the idea of trying a more inexpensive option that was also absorbent, durable, and comfortable. I used this ADV overgrip for one hitting session so far, and I quite like it! In terms of texture, it feels quite soft. It's got some tack to it, but it's not as tacky as say Wilson Pro or Yonex Super Grap, but is more tacky than the original Tourna Grip.Pros:Inexpensive (~$15 for a 12-pack as of writing this review, which is better than many of the big brands)Multiple color optionsGood amount of tack for a dry gripComfortableMore durable than Tourna (Tourna durability is pretty terrible to being with)Thick (might be a con for some)Grips come individually pre-rolled with the finishing tape. Tourna Grip just gives you one giant roll and bundles the finishing tape separately, which can be a pain at times.Comes in a nice little ziploc baggyCons:I wish it was a little longer, so that I can fully cover my racquet handle.The finishing tape that comes with the grip is pretty garbage. You don't notice it at first, but when it comes time to take the grip off and install a new one, the finishing tape gave me some trouble due to how easily it tears. I had a roll of Tourna finishing tape that I had left over, so I just used that. Even electrical tape will work well.Not very absorbentI'll be updating this review as time goes on and I use these for a few more hitting sessions.UPDATE: So hit with this grip on a hot and humid day, and I was unfortunately disappointed. The grip is nowhere near as absorbent as the original Tourna, and my hand kept slipping. I'm sad to say that I will be switching back to Tourna. I was so happy to have finally find a cheaper and more durable overgrip that is absorbent, but these just aren't very absorbent if you have very sweaty hands like me. If you don't have sweaty hands, then these grips are actually pretty darn great. Oh well, back to the hunt.UPDATE: For those looking for a more durable alternative to Tourna, look into Volkl V-Dry or Dunlop U-Sweat. I've tested both, and both are solid absorbent overgrips. I'm thinking of ditching Tourna forever in favor of those two.

In terms of grips, I tend to prefer those in the "Goldilocks Zone" -- not too absorbant, but also not so sticky that it feels like glue is on the grip. Despite what most manufacturers suggest, grips typically fall on either side of the spectrum.The ADV Pro Overgrips are a great compromise to these two opposing ideas. As the temperature increases here in the South, the Pro Overgrips allow me to maintain a varied grip on the raquet when I need it (e.g., more grip for serves, less for volleys) while also absorbing sweat. Because of the variations on my grip, most tapes degrade within a week or two near my thumb. It takes much longer for the Pro Overgrip to wear out (as evidenced by the nearly perfect week-old tape in the picture).Overall, I would recommend these to players who looking for durable overgrips that are right in the middle of the "feel" spectrum.

Grips looks great and at a great price. They are perfect thickness and length. Unfortunately they are very un-tacky so give little to no grip. I nearly broke my racket twice as it slipped out of my hand when serving.

wasn't sure at first, but get more grippy with sweaty hands after several games. Good for the price
