Yonex Base Grips

Yonex Base Grips – Comfort, Grip, and Sure Feel of the Handle

Yonex base grips are the primary layer of grip applied directly to the racket handle. They are responsible for grip comfort, cushioning, grip, and the overall feel of the racket in hand. They are replaced less frequently than overgrips – usually when the current grip is worn, slippery, flattened, or starts to peel off the handle.

In this category, you will find Yonex base grips for tennis, badminton, and other racket sports. They are a good choice for players who want to refresh their grip, improve playing comfort, or achieve a more stable, secure hold on the racket.

Why choose a Yonex base grip?

Yonex base grips allow you to customize the handle to your preferences. Models made of synthetic leather provide good feel, tackiness, and moisture wicking, while softer base grips will suit players looking for greater comfort and a gentler contact with the handle.

The store offers, among others, Yonex Synthetic Leather Excel Core Grip, Yonex Synthetic Leather Excel Pro Grip, Yonex Hi-Soft Grap and Yonex Basic NS Grip. The Excel Core Grip is a tacky synthetic leather base grip with a thickness of 1.5 mm, while the Excel Pro Grip has a thickness of 1.6 mm, perforation, and good moisture wicking.

Which Yonex base grip to choose?

Yonex Synthetic Leather Excel Core Grip will be a good choice for players looking for a tacky base grip with a comfortable feel and good moisture absorption. The thickness of 1.5 mm means the model should not excessively thicken the handle, while providing comfortable hand support.

Yonex Synthetic Leather Excel Pro Grip will be better suited for those who want a slightly fuller, more stable grip. The model is made of synthetic leather, has a thickness of 1.6 mm, perforation, and provides a good feel and moisture wicking.

Yonex Hi-Soft Grap will be suitable for players looking for a very soft base grip. This model focuses on comfort and high absorption, making it well-suited for regular play and racket sports where grip comfort is of great importance.

Yonex Basic NS Grip is a suggestion especially for badminton rackets. It has an embossed, tacky surface with perforation, wicks away moisture well, and at a thickness of 1.6 mm offers comfortable vibration dampening and a secure grip.

Who are Yonex base grips for?

Yonex base grips will be suitable for recreational, club, and regular training players who want to improve the comfort and stability of their racket grip. If you want a tacky, secure grip and good feel, it's worth choosing Synthetic Leather Excel Core Grip or Excel Pro Grip.

If softness and comfort are a priority, Hi-Soft Grap will be a better direction. For badminton, Basic NS Grip will work well, especially if you need a durable, perforated base grip with good moisture control. A well-chosen base grip can significantly improve playing comfort, racket control, and the overall feel of the grip during subsequent training sessions and matches.
