    In some people's hand including mine, yes. The grip turns a horrible colour and I always wondered why since players in the pro circuit usually maintain the exact colour of their new grips. While I can't ask such a weird question to them directly, I brainstormed a bit and realised holding handles, bars, pressing all sorts of buttons in the metro & all sorts of other stuff accounts for your hand getting quite dirty in the process.

    Washed my hands up to the elbow part and put a clean wrist band a bit under the tennis elbow part. Stops the sweat from dripping down. Make sure to dry those hands well as well.

    Just for comparison sake, not a single grip lasted 3 games (actually games not even match) before losing tackiness entirely and all of a sudden they feel alive and well even after a full day of playing.

    Anyone here tried G15 / Towels he sells? I was just browsing through and came across the comment saying very close to V brand. Is that to say they are gr334 thin?

    Hey guys I'm new here and I tried a rkep grip yesterday and loved it. I read that a lot of people are ordering from Eric so I just have a few questions. 1. How to order? 2. Is it cheaper to buy through Eric rather than online?

    Thanks.

    You can buy without ebay?

    Just wandering, I would be glad to try a large panel of grips to know which one would really be better for me.

    Sure. Just deal directly with him would avoid extra eBay fees. If you don't trust the seller, then eBay offers protection. But RKEP Eric in this case is trustworthy. Many of us have bought many items directly from him over the years.

    Same here. Had zero issues with him and he’s probably the fastest email replier in the world if you have any queries.

    I do trust the seller on is reputation here, and also bought some grips via ebay, so I won't worry about that.

    But if he does a more specific command without ebay, thats great for me.

    Hi Zaphod, I've been buying from with Eric of Squash Mart/RKEP (RacKet EXPert) for over 7 years. During that time, I have made over 25 purchases totaling over $10,000. I have never had any problems; not even remotely close. Eric is one of the most honest in the business.

    Just ask Eric to send you a PayPal invoice. That way you have a guarantee through PayPal, so no worries. :)

    G09 vs G10. Any comparisons? I’ve ordered and used only g10 so far (just 20 of those).

    Both are just as incredibly tacky in pink. Like blister causing tacky.

    I was thinking of what I’d do if I ended up liking one or the other. But it turns out g10 in pink is out of stock and won’t be re stocked till January next year.

    RIP..

    Oh... why not ask Eric which ones are tackiest? I believe lime green is next tackiest.
