Head Leather Tour Replacement Grip

HEAD Leather Tour Replacement Grip

Overview

The HEAD Leather Tour is a high end, 100% genuine leather replacement grip for tennis racquets. It’s designed to provide a firm, direct feel of the handle bevels, without significantly increasing grip size.

Features

• 100% authentic leather material
• Thin profile (≈1.5mm) so it doesn’t bulk up the handle
• Dry feel with secure grip, rather than tacky or cushioned
• Adhesive backing for installation
• Durable and long lasting compared to lower grade grips

Design and Materials

The grip is crafted entirely from natural leather, chosen for its durability and relatively minimal stretch. Its thinness ensures that the original feel and bevel definitions of the racquet handle are preserved. The backing is adhesive, making wrapping and alignment more straightforward.

VKS Review

Many users praise the HEAD Leather Tour for its ability to let them “feel the bevels” and maintain a firm, connected grip feel. Its durability and thin profile make it a favourite among advanced players who prefer minimal cushioning. Some caution that it’s best used with an overgrip (especially in sweaty conditions) to improve traction and comfort.

Q&A Section

Q: Will this leather grip increase my grip size?

A: Because it’s only 1.5mm thick, it has minimal impact on grip size much less than many synthetic grips.

Q: Should I use it alone or with an overgrip?

A: Most players use a thin overgrip over the leather. The leather gives firmness and control, while the overgrip adds grip, sweat absorption, and comfort. Some users report slipping on pure leather under wet hands.

Q: How durable is it?

A: It is more durable than lower quality replacement grips, but it still wears over time. Many players re-grip before matches if they rely on maximum consistency.

Q: How hard is it to install?

A: It is fairly straightforward thanks to its adhesive backing. Aligning and wrapping neatly especially around the butt cap and bevel transitions gives best results.
