The Contact Pro Overgrip from Tecnifibre is one of the brand’s most popular grips. It gives players a classic feel, long-lasting performance without the overly sticky feeling that some tacky grips give. This overgrip is known among club players and competitors for having a high-quality feel that strikes a good balance between comfort and durability.
I think Contact Pro is a great all-around overgrip for both casual and competitive players who want a comfortable feel and good sweat management.
Tech & specs
Tecnifibre positions the Contact Pro as a premium yet classic overgrip, focusing on comfort, feel, and secure hold rather than extreme tackiness.
- Material: Polyurethane (PU)
- Thickness: Standard thin profile
- Colour: White (also available in black)
- Texture: Lightly textured surface
- Finish: Slightly dry, low tack (not sticky)
First Impressions – Plush, Classic, Comfortable
The Contact Pro feels premium and robust but feels soft enough to keep feel on contact. It has just the right amount of tackiness for me and keeps the grip secure.
I really enjoyed playing with this grip. I put it on my Head Speed MP and Blade V9 and this is one of my go to grips now. I think it is a great choice for players who don’t want softer tacky grips that still absorb sweat well.
Durability & Playability Life
One of the stronger aspects of Contact Pro is how well it wears:
- I found it held together through multiple sessions without wearing down too quickly.
- Wear is gradual and I almost preferred it after several hours play
- The grip keeps its feel for longer than some thinner, ultra-tacky overgrips that break down faster.
For players who don’t want to re-overgrip every few sessions, Contact Pro is definitely longer-lasting than many other premium grips such as Babolat VS Original or even Head Prime Tour.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Comfortable, classic feel that sits between plush and firm
- Good grip without extreme tackiness
- Good balance of sweat control and grip security
- Durable after several hours of play
Cons
- Not ultra-tacky – if you love super sticky grips, this will feel subdued
- Slightly thicker than ultra-minimal grips – may feel bulky to some
- Not best choice if you want maximum sweat grip in hot conditions (Tourna Grip better suited)
Comparable Overgrips
If you are considering Contact Pro, here are some useful comparisons:
- Yonex Super Grap – mid-tack, comfortable, and slightly softer than Contact Pro
- Babolat VS Original – very thin and tacky, for players who want max feedback (but far less durable vs Contact Pro)
- Wilson Pro Overgrip – classic feel with a slightly dryer feel; a club favourite
In summary
The Tecnifibre Contact Pro Overgrip is one of the best choices for comfort, control, and durability. It’s not the stickiest grip on the market, and it’s not super soft either, but is hard wearing and offers good touch and feel and maintains its grip well over several sessions.
Overall it is a reliable overgrip that focuses on comfort and durability and would suit players who like a classic feel over extreme tackiness or an extra dry feel.
