Humidity and your grips
· Manny Ortega
Humidity does not just make you sweat. It makes grips slick, and it speeds up the breakdown of rubber.
A grip that lasts two years inland may last a year here. If you play twice a week, regrip every six months.
A quick test
Squeeze the grip with your thumb. If it feels smooth, glossy or tacky in the wrong way, it is time.
We can regrip a set in forty minutes.
