Yonex Super Grap
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.

What it is
Mid-set humidity and the handle still stays put—not chalky-dry like Tourna, not soft-sticky like a fresh Wilson Pro—because a thin polyurethane wrap is doing both jobs at once. That’s Yonex Super Grap (item AC102 / often labeled Wet Super Grap on Yonex packaging; Tennis Warehouse says it’s the same product): Yonex’s best-selling overgrip since 1987, pitched as tacky feel with shock and moisture absorption.
US retail (Oct 2026): Yonex USA and Tennis Warehouse lock the 3 Wraps pack at $8.00 (stock examples: White AC102EX W, Black AC102EX BK, plus citrus green / orange / pink / purple / red / yellow and more). TW’s 12 Pack is $23.00 (White AC102W-12, Black AC102BK-12); the 30 Pack sits at $51.00. Specs Yonex publishes: 0.6 mm thick · 25 mm wide · 1,200 mm long · polyurethane · finishing tape in the pack.
What club players actually buy: try or match-day top-up = 3 Pack ($8); regular restock = 12 Pack White or Black ($23). White is the durability/tack consensus on TW feedback; color packs are for matching a VCORE red or EZONE blue—not a different compound.
Who it’s for
Serious recreational and club players who want a balanced tacky overgrip with real sweat handling—baseliners in humid summers, doubles players who hate a slippery continental change, anyone whose hands are normal-to-sweaty but don’t want Tourna’s dusty dry feel. Strong fit if you already hit Yonex frames (EZONE / Percept / VCORE are on Court List) and want the matching wrap, or if Wilson Pro’s soft tack dies mid-set for you.
Skip it if you live on Tourna Grip Original’s dry absorbency in monsoon sweat (that’s already live—different job), if you specifically want Wilson Pro’s thinner soft-hand feel, or if you chase ultra-tack specialists (Gamma Supreme / Mega Tac lane). Extreme sweaters still often stay on Tourna; Super Grap is the all-arounder, not a dry-specialty.
Standout details
- Specs that matter (Yonex / TW): 0.6 mm polyurethane · 1,200 mm length · 3 / 12 / 30 pack sizes · wide color range (White/Black club defaults) · US street $8 / 3-pack · $23 / 12-pack · $51 / 30-pack · may ship labeled “Wet Super Grap”
- Tack / hold (our “Power” axis for overgrips): Fresh tack that settles into a milder secure hold—enough for big swings without the gluey grab some ultra-tack wraps leave; white usually rated tackiest in TW player notes
- Feel / thickness precision (Control): Connected bevel feel at a true 0.6 mm—often described as slightly firmer / a touch “dryer” than Wilson Pro while still cushioned; wrap snug without overstretching or durability drops
- Surface texture (Spin — n/a for ball spin; read as wrap texture): Smooth PU face, not perforated or patterned—texture isn’t the story; absorbency + tack is
- Hand feel (Comfort): Soft cushioned ride that many prefer to abrasive dry wraps for blister risk; shock absorption is part of Yonex’s pitch, not a medical claim
- Tradeoffs: Tack still fades with hours and dirt (change when it goes grey or slick); some colored wraps stain light undergrips; durability reports split—plenty of multi-week fans, some tear-through complaints if you overstretch on install. Not cheaper than bargain generics, but under Wilson Pro’s $9 / $27 street locks
Who’s hitting it
Yonex Super Grap is ubiquitous on Yonex sticks at club level and shows up across the tour accessory ecosystem. Independent overgrip roundups (e.g. peRFect Tennis’s playtest lists) have associated Super Grap with Denis Shapovalov, Frances Tiafoe, Nick Kyrgios, Naomi Osaka, Stan Wawrinka, and Casper Ruud—brand-level usage notes, not a Court List lab claim that every listed athlete runs the exact White AC102 3-pack you buy at TW.
Retail packs ≠ custom wraps. Pros often stack two overgrips, cut lengths, or run private builds that are not the single retail wrap. Treat Super Grap as the consumer Yonex classic club players actually restock—not a signature mold locked to one name.
Honest verdict
Court List already has Tourna Grip Original for dry/absorbent hands and Wilson Pro Overgrip for soft tacky security. Super Grap fills the missing balanced Yonex slot—tack plus absorbency in one 0.6 mm polyurethane wrap, cheaper street than Wilson Pro, and a color wall Tourna never offered. Buy the $8 3-pack (White first) to confirm the feel; restock the $23 12-pack once it’s your default. Stay on Tourna if monsoon palms want chalk; stay on Wilson Pro if you love that softer thin hand. For serious rec players who want one overgrip that does most jobs well, this is a solid primary in the balanced-tacky lane—coverage that was missing, not a 5.
