Tourna Grip XL Original Dry Feel Tennis Grip

Tourna Grip XL Original Dry Feel Tennis Grip

Tourna Grip XL is the original dry-feel overgrip — the light blue grip that has been a fixture on professional tour rackets for decades and that remains the benchmark for players who prioritize sweat absorption and dry-feel texture over the tackiness of traditional grips. Where standard tacky overgrips feel smooth and slick when wet, Tourna Grip XL becomes more absorptive as hands sweat — the dry, slightly textured surface wicks moisture actively rather than letting it pool between the hand and grip, which is why it is particularly popular in hot, humid conditions where tacky overgrips quickly saturate and lose their friction properties entirely. The XL designation refers to a slightly longer grip length that accommodates players with larger hands or players who prefer to start the wrap slightly lower on the handle for additional coverage at the butt end.

• Unique Dry-Feel Texture That Improves in Humidity - Unlike tacky overgrips that feel smooth and slick when wet, Tourna Grip XL has a dry, slightly rough texture that actively wicks moisture from the palm during play — the grip actually feels more secure and controllable as light sweating begins, because the moisture is being absorbed into the material rather than pooling on the surface and reducing friction between hand and grip.
• XL Length for Complete Grip Coverage - The extra length allows the grip to be started slightly further down the handle than standard overgrips, providing full coverage from the butt cap all the way through the top of the handle — useful for players with larger hands who need more wraps to achieve a single complete layer, and for players who prefer their overgrip to extend slightly onto the lower part of the throat for a cleaner, more complete finish.
• Lightweight Thin Profile for Feel Preservation - Tourna Grip XL is very thin — approximately 0.43mm — so adding it over a base grip adds minimal diameter change to the handle, preserving the natural feel of the underlying grip construction while adding the sweat management properties of the overgrip layer, which is important for feel-sensitive players who don't want the handle to feel bulky or the grip diameter to increase significantly with each overgrip change.
• High Moisture Absorption for Extended Play Sessions - The material absorbs a meaningful volume of sweat before reaching saturation — more than most tacky overgrips — which extends the effective lifespan of each grip through a session and makes it suitable for players who sweat heavily or who play long training blocks without opportunity to change grips mid-session, such as during multi-hour clinics or extended practice tournaments.
• Tour-Proven for 40+ Years of Professional Use - Tourna Grip XL has been on professional tour rackets since the late 1970s — Pete Sampras was famously associated with it — and continues to appear on the rackets of touring players and coaches who learned to play with it and have never found a reason to switch, which speaks to the consistency and reliability of the formulation over decades of continuous professional use.
• Available in Rolls and Multi-Packs - Sold in individual wraps and multi-pack bundles for players who change overgrips frequently — heavy users in humid climates and players who compete regularly benefit most from buying in bulk to maintain a ready supply for practice and match days, since the best practice is to start each match with a fresh grip rather than carrying moisture from a previous session.
