Great if you want to increase grip sizeI tested lot of thick replacement grips in an effort to increase grip size: Head HydroSorb Comfort 2.1mm, Diadem Comfort Max 2.0mm, Wilson Shock Shield Hybrid 2.0mm, Tecnifibre Wax Grip Max 2.1mm, Diadem Comfort Max 2.3mm, Price ResiSoft 2.2mm, and more.
The Babolat Xcel Gel is 2.6mm, thicker than all the above, and it turned out to be the best one for grip size increase. The shock absorbing qualities is a very nice bonus, it makes stiff rackets very comfortable.
Good grip onFeel very comfortable.

OverallI have tried several different grips based on the reviews shown here, and the Babolat grip is the best so far. The grip has enough tape on the backing to hold it in place while you're installing it and months later it is still in place. There is always a but and the Babolat grip is a little thicker it seems than some of the others and this may not be a good fit if the grip becomes oversized. That being said, this still is the grip to use if you want a good product.
