Diamond Grip

Description

A diamond grip in badminton is an overgrip with a textured, diamond-shaped pattern, designed for superior tackiness, moisture absorption, and anti-slip control, offering players optimal friction, stability, and a comfortable, cushioned feel to reduce hand fatigue during play, making it popular for all levels. Brands like Yonex (AC 7405) and Li-Ning (GP-35) use this design for better handling, especially for sweaty hands.

Key Characteristics:

• Textured Surface: The diamond pattern creates peaks and valleys for increased surface area, enhancing grip and preventing slippage.
• Tacky Feel: Provides a sticky sensation for a secure hold on the racket.
• Moisture Wicking: Effectively absorbs sweat, keeping hands dry and the grip firm.
• Shock Absorption: Cushions the hand and reduces vibrations, leading to less strain.
• Comfort: Offers a soft, cushioned touch for extended play.
• Durability: Made from synthetic materials (like polyurethane) for longevity.

Why Players Use It:

• Control & Stability: The texture locks the racket in hand, allowing for more precise shots and confident swings.
• Performance: Ideal for sweaty conditions where a normal grip might fail.
• Versatility: Fits all standard badminton racket handles and is used by beginners to pros.
