The Babolat Xcel Gel Replacement Grip is designed to deliver exceptional cushioning, comfort, and sweat absorption, making it one of the softest and most plush replacement grips in the market. If you’re a player who dislikes using overgrips or prefers a thick, padded feel directly on the handle, this grip is built just for you.
What sets the Xcel Gel apart is its “pillow-like softness”—the entire grip is constructed to feel extremely cushy in hand, absorbing shock and minimizing harsh vibrations with every stroke. The internal gel layer is what gives it its signature feel, offering maximum shock absorption and helping reduce fatigue during extended play sessions.
This is a grip that’s especially ideal for players who demand both comfort and performance. Its high absorption capacity ensures that sweat doesn’t compromise your grip, keeping your hand dry and secure throughout the game. Whether you’re training hard or competing, the grip maintains its traction under pressure.
Durability is another strong point of the Xcel Gel. It resists wear and tear remarkably well, even with frequent use, making it a long-lasting option for players who don’t want to change grips often. And since it’s a replacement grip (not an overgrip), it’s designed to be installed directly onto the bare handle—providing a full, thick, comfortable foundation for your hand.
The slightly tacky surface provides a confident feel, while the thickness adds a bit of volume to the racquet handle—great for players who prefer a bit more cushioning without losing control.
Whether you’re a club-level competitor or just enjoy the occasional weekend match, the Babolat Xcel Gel is a fantastic choice if you want to maximize comfort and minimize distractions on the court.
