Head Hydrosorb Pro Replacement Grip The Head Hydrosorb Pro is the premium tier of HEAD's replacement grip lineup — engineered for players who want a tacky, performance-level base grip with superior moisture absorption, direct handle feedback, and a thinner profile that preserves the feel of the frame's original handle geometry. It is the ideal base layer for players who either play without an overgrip or use a single thin overgrip and demand the best possible performance from the foundation layer. Twin-Channel Technology for Active Moisture Management — The Hydrosorb Pro's standout feature is its Twin-Channel construction — two raised ventilation channels running the length of the grip that create airflow pathways between the hand and the handle surface. Unlike flat replacement grips that trap heat and sweat against the palm, the Twin-Channel design allows moisture to dissipate and air to circulate, keeping the grip surface drier and more functional during long, high-intensity matches. Premium Hydrosorb Tacky Surface — The outer polyurethane layer uses HEAD's Hydrosorb compound, which absorbs moisture directly into the surface material rather than allowing it to pool or bead. The result is a grip that stays tacky and responsive even as the match extends into warm, humid conditions — a clear step up from standard PU replacement grips that become slick under sustained perspiration. Thinner 1.75 mm Profile for Direct Feedback — At 1.75 mm, the Hydrosorb Pro is thinner than most standard replacement grips, preserving the feel of the frame's molded handle and keeping bevel definition crisp and readable. Players who rely on precise grip changes between Eastern, Semi-Western, and Continental grips will appreciate that the bevels remain distinct and tactile rather than rounded and muted under a thick cushioned layer. Perforated Surface for Enhanced Breathability — Small perforations distributed across the grip surface add a secondary moisture-venting mechanism alongside the Twin-Channel system. Together, the channels and perforations give the Hydrosorb Pro one of the most active moisture-management systems in the replacement grip category — noticeable for anyone who has ever struggled with grip slippage late in a match. Durable Construction, Extended Grip Life — Replacement grips absorb wear from the racquet handle's friction on the inside and from hand contact and grip tape on the outside. The Hydrosorb Pro uses a more robust outer compound than entry-level replacement grips, extending the interval between grip changes without the surface becoming hard, slick, or worn through to the underlying foam. Compatible with all standard HEAD racquet handles as well as other major brands. Applies over the existing pallet and securing tape — each grip comes with a finishing strip for a clean, professional wrap. Recommended grip size should match your frame's original handle measurement.
