Ranked by Court Score

Grips, dampeners, and the small stuff that changes a match.

Tourna Grip Original

Court Score 4 out of 5

$6–$8 / 3-pack

The dry, dusty overgrip that still works when your palm gives up in the third set.

GammaAccessories

Gamma Shockbuster

Court Score 3 out of 5

$4.99

The original worm dampener. It weaves across the mains and turns ping into a dead "thwack" for $4.99, so it's the max-mute pick if you want quiet over feel. It costs you string feedback, and the end clips are the weak point.

PennAccessories

Penn Championship Extra Duty

Court Score 3 out of 5

$4.99

America's default can, the official ball of USTA Leagues for about $3.50 a can by the case, but it's priced for volume and plays like it, with reviewers saying it fluffs and goes flat in a set or two.

WilsonAccessories

Wilson Pro Feel Dampener

Court Score 3 out of 5

$7.50

The club-default Wilson button dampener—light mute, keeps more string feel than a worm, optional for anyone who likes an open bed—grab the 2-pack if you want the quiet W look, skip it if dampeners aren’t your taste.

WilsonAccessories

Wilson Pro Overgrip

Court Score 3 out of 5

$9

The classic tacky Wilson overgrip club bags are already full of—thin feel, soft hand, easy to restock—Tourna’s opposite for players who want sticky security instead of dry absorbency.

YonexAccessories

Yonex Super Grap

Court Score 3 out of 5

$8

Yonex’s 1987 club classic—0.6 mm polyurethane that sits between Tourna’s chalky dry and Wilson Pro’s soft tack—$8 for a 3-pack, colors for days, the balanced overgrip Court List was missing.
