Head Base Grips – comfort, cushioning, and a secure racket grip

Head base grips are the primary layer of grip applied directly to the racket handle. They are responsible for grip comfort, cushioning, tackiness, and the overall feel of the racket in hand. Unlike overgrips, base grips are more durable and are replaced less frequently – usually when they start to wear out, peel off, or lose their properties.

In this category, you'll find Head base grips for tennis and squash rackets. They are a good choice for players who want to refresh their handle, improve grip stability, or customize the grip to their own preferences – whether for more comfort, absorbency, or direct feel.

Why choose a Head base grip?

Head base grips help keep the racket securely in your hand, while also contributing to playing comfort and vibration dampening. A well-chosen grip can improve comfort during longer training sessions, increase racket control, and better adapt the handle thickness to your hand.

The store offers, among others, Head Hydrosorb, Head Hydrosorb Comfort, Head Hydrosorb Pro, Head Dual Absorbing, and Head Softac Traction. Hydrosorb series models use channels to support air circulation, while the Comfort and Pro versions differ primarily in thickness and grip feel.

Which Head base grip to choose?

Head Hydrosorb will be a good choice for players looking for a versatile base grip with good ventilation and a comfortable feel. It's a practical model for refreshing the handle of a tennis or squash racket, especially when the current grip is worn out or has lost its tackiness.

Head Hydrosorb Comfort is better suited for individuals who want more cushioning and a softer contact with the handle. The thicker material helps improve comfort and dampens vibrations, while the tacky surface supports a more secure grip during play.

Head Hydrosorb Pro is a thinner option for players who prefer a more direct feel of the racket. This model absorbs sweat well and uses channels for air circulation, making it suitable for those seeking a combination of control, absorbency, and a more pronounced grip feel.

Head Softac Traction and Head Dual Absorbing will be good options for players seeking a stable, comfortable grip and good moisture absorption. Softac Traction has a thickness of 1.8 mm, while Dual Absorbing is described as a tacky and sweat-absorbing grip.

Who are Head base grips for?

Head base grips are suitable for recreational, club, and regularly training players who want to improve comfort and the security of their racket grip. If you desire a soft, comfortable grip, Hydrosorb Comfort would be a good choice. If you prefer a thinner and more direct feel of the handle, Hydrosorb Pro would be a better option.
