Pro / Player Review
The HEAD HydroSorb Comfort Replacement Grip stands out for its plush feel and effective shock absorption, making it a favourite among players who suffer from arm fatigue or simply want a more comfortable hitting experience. While the tacky surface helps with grip stability, it may take a session or two to adjust if you're used to thinner or drier grips. It's best suited for players who value comfort over a direct feel of the handle, such as all-court players and those recovering from arm issues.
