Yonex AC Tour Overgrip (AC102) in depth

The Yonex AC Tour overgrip is a staple accessory for tennis, badminton, and racket sports players who demand reliable comfort and control during long, intense matches. Designed with a slightly tacky surface, this overgrip provides excellent moisture absorption, ensuring that sweaty palms don't compromise your hold on the racket. Its thin profile allows players to maintain the original grip size feel while adding just enough cushioning to reduce vibration and hand fatigue during extended play sessions.

Excellent tack that lasts through long, sweaty matches— Court notes, 29 sessions / 22h

What sets the AC Tour apart is its dry and slightly textured finish, which strikes a balance between tackiness and smoothness. This makes it ideal for players who prefer quick hand adjustments and racket rotations, such as those employing continental or eastern grips for serves and volleys. The overgrip wraps easily around the handle with minimal stretching required, making application straightforward even for players replacing grips between matches or practice sessions. Its consistent texture also helps in maintaining a secure hold even when the grip becomes worn after repeated use.

Durability is another highlight of the Yonex AC Tour overgrip, as it resists slipping and maintains its tackiness longer than many competing overgrips, even under humid or high-intensity conditions. Available in a range of colors, players can also use it to personalize their racket's appearance while benefiting from consistent performance. Whether for casual practice or competitive tournaments, this overgrip enhances control, comfort, and confidence, making it a trusted choice among tennis, badminton, and other racket sports enthusiasts seeking a dependable grip solution.

Great tacky feel

I've used this overgrip for years on my tennis racket. It's thin enough that I don't lose feel for the handle, and the tackiness is excellent even during long matches in summer heat.

Good but wears fast

The grip feel is fantastic when fresh, but I found myself replacing it every 2-3 sessions since I sweat a lot. Still, the price for a 3-pack makes this manageable.

Perfect for badminton too

I use this on my badminton racket and it's fantastic. Thin profile lets me keep the same swing feel as my bare handle, and it absorbs sweat well during intense rallies.

My go-to overgrip

Switched from a thicker brand and immediately noticed better racket feel. The tackiness is superb and application is smooth with no bubbling.

Decent but not the most durable

Works well initially but the tack fades quicker than I'd like in hot, humid conditions. Still a good budget option overall.
