Performance Factors
Moisture Management:
Consider moisture conditions common to where you play or whether you have hands that perspire. Having a grip that provides moisture control can add confidence and consistency to your game.
Minimal Moisture Management:
- Arid conditions
- Little to No Humidity
- Limited Sweat
Moderate Moisture Management:
- Mixed Conditions
- Seasonal/Occasional Humidity
- Some Sweat
High Moisture Management:
- Humid/Wet Conditions
- Heavy Humidity
- Significant Sweat
Feedback:
Grip material and construction influence the amount of vibration transferred to your hands from ball contact; commonly referred to as shot feedback. Softer grips absorb more vibration, while firm grips provide greater shot feedback.
Maximum Shock Absorption:
- Significant Vibration Dampening
- Shock Reducing
Moderate Feedback / Shock Absorption:
- Stable Grip With Good Shot Feedback
Maximum Shot Feedback:
- Firm Grip
- Significant Feedback
Surface Texture:
Grip material and surface design comprise grip texture. Tack grips have a smooth surface and are usually made from softer materials. Grips that are less tacky usually combine a detailed surface design with from high traction materials.
Light Texture, High Tack:
- Limited Surface Texture
- Limited Traction
Moderate Feedback / Shock Absorption:
- Some Surface Texture
Heavy Texture:
- Significant Surface Texture (And/Or)
- Significant Cord For Maximum Traction
