Babolat Natural Leather Racket Grip

Overview

The Babolat Natural Leather Racket Grip is a classic, high?quality leather overgrip designed to deliver a firm, tactile feel and excellent control. It is popular among players who prefer a traditional, minimal cushion grip that provides direct feedback from the racquet. It’s often used as a replacement grip rather than an overgrip, favoured especially in racquet sports like tennis and padel.

Features

• Premium genuine leather construction
• Thin profile to maintain original handle dimensions
• Natural sweat absorption for grip stability
• Durable and long lasting when maintained properly
• Easy to install wraps like standard grip

Design and Materials

The grip is crafted from genuine leather, giving it a smooth, firm feel. The natural leather doesn’t include additional padding or tacky layers, so the player feels a direct connection to the racket handle. The edges are finished to reduce peeling, and the leather is cut and shaped to match typical racket handle dimensions.

Q&A Section

Q: Is this grip suitable as an overgrip or replacement wrap?

A: It is often used as a replacement wrap (i.e. the primary grip). Some players do use it as an overgrip, but its thinness means it may not add much cushioning.

Q: How often should I replace a leather grip?

A: It depends on play frequency and sweat. For regular club-level play, replacing every few months is common; for heavy use, more frequently.

Q: Can I add a synthetic overgrip over it?

A: Yes — many players put a synthetic overgrip on top to improve comfort while preserving the leather beneath for support and feel.
