Yonex Excel Pro Synthetic Leather Replacement Grip - White – Firm Feel & Reliable Control
Overview
The Yonex Excel Pro Synthetic Leather Replacement Grip is designed for players looking to restore a firm, secure and responsive feel to their racket handle. Made from polyurethane synthetic leather, it provides a direct connection to the racket while retaining enough comfort for regular training and match play.
At 1.6 mm thick, the Excel Pro offers a relatively firm feel that helps maintain feedback from the handle without adding excessive cushioning. Its tacky surface provides dependable grip and control, making it suitable for tennis, badminton and other racket sports.
Unlike an overgrip, the Excel Pro is a full replacement grip designed to be fitted directly onto the racket handle after removing the existing base grip. It can be used on its own or underneath an overgrip according to the player’s preferred feel.

Pro / Player Review
The Yonex Excel Pro is a strong option for players who prefer a firmer replacement grip rather than a heavily cushioned handle. Its 1.6 mm thickness provides a useful balance between comfort and racket feedback while retaining good definition of the handle bevels for confident grip changes.
The tacky surface is particularly useful for players who want a secure connection without immediately adding an overgrip. Players who prefer a softer, more cushioned handle may find the Excel Pro relatively firm, although an overgrip can be fitted over the replacement grip to add cushioning and alter the overall feel.
The white finish provides a clean, traditional appearance and works particularly well for players who want to refresh the original look of their racket while retaining a performance-focused, firm grip feel.
