Round-up review: our score and verdict are based on published specs and reviews from across the web, not our own play-testing yet.
Tourna Grip’s original dry-feel wrap is for players whose hands run wet: heavy sweaters, hot-weather players, anyone whose racket has ever turned in the hand on a second serve. It suits committed competitors who will happily rewrap often for a grip that never slips.
In the hand
It does the opposite of every tacky grip. Out of the pack it feels dry and papery, with no stickiness at all, and it gets grippier as sweat builds rather than slicker. Tourna’s trick is wicking moisture through the grip instead of back onto the palm. Tennisnerd calls it the gold standard for sweaty hands, still the one its reviewer trusts in tournament finals, and rates its sweat absorption as outstanding in a second round-up. Tourna lists Pete Sampras, John Isner and the Bryan brothers among the pros who have used it.
How long it lasts
Not long. Both Tennisnerd pieces make durability the one real downside: about three matches per grip depending on humidity, and the reviewer reckons Yonex Super Grap lasts something like ten times longer. Each pack gives you three XL-length grips and finishing tape, and Tourna says it is the only tennis overgrip made in the USA.

Verdict
Unmatched if slipping is your problem, and the wrong grip if you want tack or a long life from each wrap. Keep a pack in the bag for the hot days.
