Best Tennis Replacement Grips
Every racket that you purchase will have a stock grip on it. Once that stock grip is worn out, you'll want to change it. A replacement grip is the grip you need. Replacing your tennis grip is also an easy way to change how the racket feels in your hand. Check out our list for best replacement grips.
Leather Grips
Whether you're looking to add some weight to your frame or want to feel the bevels of your racket handle, a leather replacement grip is the way to go. Our picks for best leather grips are the TW Private Label Leather Grips and Fairway Leather Grips.

Cushioned Grips
A cushioned tennis grip will offer a softer, plusher feel in the hand. It is also a good way to add weight or make the grip size feel slightly larger without any further customization of the racket. We like the Wilson Cushion Pro Grip. The Cushion Pro replacement grip has extra padding, which makes it feel fuller but also much softer in the hand.
Thin Replacement Grips
If you're looking for good bevel feel but something lighter than a leather grip, a thin synthetic replacement grip is a great option. Our pick for thin replacement grip is the Wilson Feather Thin Grip. The Feather Thin has a slightly tacky feel without feeling sticky, which makes it easy to keep your hand in place on the stick. Like with a leather grip, you'll be able to better feel the bevels on your handle with this replacement grip.
Absorbent Replacement Grips
The Babolat Syntec Pro Grip is a great all-around absorbent replacement grip for your tennis racket. It absorbs sweat well, but it also balances bevel feel with some cushioning. If you've used a Babolat Pure Drive or Pure Aero, this is the stock grip that comes installed on the racket. If your hands sweat a lot, we would recommend an overgrip, but for moderate sweat levels, this grip will deliver a good balance of performance features.
Tacky Replacement Grips
Dunlop Gecko-Tac is a medium-to-thin tacky replacement grip with good sweat absportion. A tacky grip will help you feel like the racket won't slip out of your hands. We like Gecko-Tac because it's tacky without being too sticky.
