Babolat Xcel Gel tennis grip has a neoprene strip and added gel underneath the grip for added cushion and a ribbed surface for a secure hold and dry touch.
I usually wear 8.5 in New Balance tennis shoes, but these are too small. Additionally they are very stiff. I am returning.

Great grip, very comfortable.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars
This grip is thick, easy to apply, and very comfortable. It has an actual gel strip along the back of the grip. Feels very good, absorbs shock well, plays well. Hasn’t budged at all. Stays in place.

THE grip for sizing up your handle
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars
By far the thickest grip on the market (at 2.6mm), this grip does what it was designed to do better than any other. Thick grips are infamous for throwing off a frame’s balance; witness the Wilson Shock Shield Hybrid weighing in at 28 grams (a full ounce). The Xcel Gel increases your grip a whole L-size [1/8”] yet remarkably weighs no more than an average replacement grip. (The box says it weighs 18g, but mine consistently weigh 20, and that’s still a feat for such a thick grip.) All to say, if you’re looking to expand your handle a grip-size without changing your frame’s balance, look no further. Its only potential nick is that it does feel spongy. Not slushy but plush. But even that can be offset if you overgrip it, as many folks looking to build up their grip size will do anyway.

Nice grip. Solid and efficient. Get dirty? Just clean with Mr. Clean sponge and good to go. Highly recommend it.
