Babolat Replacement Grips

Babolat Base Grips – Comfort, Grip, and Improved Handle Feel

Babolat base grips are the primary layer of a racket's handle, applied directly to the handle. They are responsible for grip comfort, cushioning, handle thickness, and the overall feel of the racket in hand. Unlike overgrips, base grips are more durable and are replaced less frequently, typically only when they start to wear out, peel off, or lose their properties.

In this category, you will find Babolat base grips of various characteristics – from thin and light models providing direct handle feel to thicker grips focused on comfort and better cushioning. This is a good choice for players who want to refresh their racket's grip or change its feel without replacing the entire equipment.

Why choose a Babolat base grip?

Babolat base grips allow you to customize the handle to your preferences. A thinner grip provides more direct contact with the handle's edges and does not significantly increase the handle's size. A thicker model improves comfort, can slightly increase the handle's circumference, and better dampens vibrations during impact.

The store offers, among others, Babolat Syntec Uptake, Babolat Syntec Pro Feel, Babolat Syntec Team Feel, Babolat Syntec Evo Comfort, Babolat Xcel Gel Comfort, and Babolat Natural Grip Feel. The offer includes sticky, dry, thin, comfortable grips, as well as a leather base grip for players seeking a very distinct handle feel.

Which Babolat base grip to choose?

Babolat Syntec Uptake will be a good choice for players looking for a versatile base grip to refresh their handle. It's a practical model for those who want to maintain a comfortable grip and a classic racket feel.

Babolat Syntec Pro Feel is better suited for tennis players who expect a stickier, more stable contact with the hand. The 1.9 mm thickness provides a good balance between comfort and grip feel, making this model suitable for regular play.

Babolat Syntec Team Feel is a thinner and lighter option. With a thickness of 1.5 mm and low weight, it will work well for players who do not want to significantly thicken the handle and prefer a more direct racket feel.

Babolat Syntec Evo Comfort and Babolat Xcel Gel Comfort will be a better direction for those seeking comfort and cushioning. Syntec Evo Comfort has a dry surface and a thickness of 2.1 mm, while Xcel Gel Comfort is a model focused on stronger dampening and a softer contact with the hand.

Babolat Natural Grip Feel is a leather base grip for players who want a more classic, direct feel of the handle's edges. It's a choice for those who prefer precise contact with the racket and a more "raw" grip sensation.

Who are Babolat base grips for?

Babolat base grips are suitable for recreational, club, and tournament players who want to refresh their racket's handle or change its character. If you value comfort and cushioning, choose thicker models such as Syntec Evo Comfort or Xcel Gel Comfort. If you prefer a thin, more direct grip, Syntec Team Feel or Natural Grip Feel would be a better choice.

This is a practical category for people who feel that their racket handle is too slippery, too hard, too thin, or simply worn out. A well-chosen base grip can improve playing comfort, grip stability, and the overall feel of the racket during training and matches.
