Babolat Xcel Gel Replacement Tennis Grip

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.

Great grip. Very comfortable feel

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