Crazy idea

Anyone here ever tried putting tennis overgrips over the tape knob? Tennis seasons is winding down for me and I tried putting half of a overgrip on the top end of the shaft. Haven't used it yet, but IMO it should be a lot easier to replace.

too thick for some peoples pp

And too "squishy" IMO.

I tried it, cushiony and grippy, but it kept unravelling. I was using "Tournagrip".

What I did what to put 1 layer over the existing knob, that way when it begins to stink up the joint I dont have to take over an hour to get everything off.

You're basically describing Oggie Grip's Sticky Grip Foam.

Even though it is wider, its squishiness is what people like about; it actually allows you to hold more tightly. I was in a booth at the Chowder Cup with Joe and he would hand two stick pieces to players, one with regular "spining", the other with the Sticky Grip Foam. I can't recall anyone liking the spining better.

Nice, I got a huge pile of overgrips from tennis (used - too slippery to keep playing with). I also save on griptape :D

Yeah heaps of my friends use tennis grips or a Easton grip ( for baseball I think), they love it. Its a bit to thick for me though!
