Victor Fishbone Grip – Black – 105cm

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON

This Grip Tape by Victor is very good due to the “Fishbone Rib Structure”. It provides extra grip and additionally makes it possible that air gets beneath the hands. Thus making it less wet. So I would recommend this especially to badminton players with sweaty hands.

Victor Overgrip Pro

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON

This Victor Overgrip  Pieces are value for money. A 3-Pack for a very cheap price. It is self-adhesive and including vibration damping. Keep in mind, that this is an overgrip, so it will feel very thin. If you like thicker grip tapes, this would not be right for you. In my opinion the badminton racket grip should be as thin as possible, because it supports your strokes with the right technique. Ask Lin Dan, wo sometimes even played without a tape.
