Yonex Excel Pro Replacement Grip

This is a replacement grip, meaning it is designed to be applied directly to the racquet handle after removing the old grip. Unlike thin overgrips that wrap over an existing base, the Excel Pro provides the primary cushioning and shape for your handle.

At 1.6mm thick, this grip is designed to maintain the standard dimensions of most performance racquets. If you are replacing a worn-out factory grip, you should notice the handle size remains consistent with how the racquet felt when it was new.

The dimpled texture increases the surface area and friction between your hand and the racquet. This helps prevent slipping during intense rallies, especially if you tend to sweat, providing a more secure and stable hold.

No, the Excel Pro is specifically engineered for a firm, responsive feel. It prioritizes direct feedback from the racquet at the moment of contact, which is generally preferred by players who want to feel exactly how the ball is interacting with their string bed.

Yes, it is straightforward to install. You will need to remove your old grip, clean the handle, and wrap the Excel Pro firmly around the handle, overlapping slightly as you move from the butt cap toward the throat.
