Weight of the thick grip with the plastic protection cover and sticker paper is around 15
grams:
Before putting this grip onto Yonex Voltric 80 racket handle, I cut and removed a short
length of the grip so that the grip does not go beyond the handle. Weight of this piece was at
3 grams:
The weight of paper and plastic cover was coming to 2 grams:
So, that makes the total grip weight to 15grams - 3 grams - 2 grams = 10 grams.
With the grip added, Voltric 80 was weighing at 99 grams:
There was an existing grip on the racket which I removed. Removed grip along with its tape (black tape used towards the top of the handle) was weighing at 12 grams:
Weight of thin overlay grip was at 7 grams (without the plastic coating removed). Plastic coating
might be hardly a gram, so the weight of thin overlap grip can be assumed at 7 grams:
I don't use cloth grip, so I do not have information on that, sorry.
Next, I will try to get the grams that get added when gutting is done for a racket as part of my next blog.
