Description
The Babolat Syntec Pro Replacement Grip is the flagship grip used by top-level players, including Rafael Nadal, engineered to offer an ideal blend of precision, absorption, and feel. Known for its slightly thinner profile—the Syntec Pro is approximately 10% thinner than earlier versions—it delivers exceptional control and sensitivity, allowing players to stay connected to the ball without sacrificing comfort.
At 1.9 mm thickness and weighing around 17–17.5 g, this grip provides enough tactile feel to enhance shot placement while being comfortable enough for hours of play. It’s considered a perfect middle ground—not too soft to lose feel, and not too firm to neglect cushioning. Absorption performance is rated 4 out of 5, meaning it handles sweat effectively to keep your hand dry and secure under pressure.
The synthetic material combines polyurethane and polyester fibers with a tacky ergonomic finish that improves traction and grip security. This helps maintain firm hold even during intense rallies or when hands get sweaty, giving players confidence with every swing.
Standard lengths range around 110–115 cm, fitting most racquet handles. It’s simple to install and compatible with all standard tennis racquets, including Babolat’s popular Pure Aero, Pure Drive, and Pure Strike series. As a replacement grip (not an overgrip), it’s wrapped directly over the bare handle, offering greater cushion and decreasing the need for additional layers.
