Saltheart,

The tennis grips are not leather. They're made of some kinda spaceage composite material. I searched the Wilson ( and a few other) websites when I bought the grips. The engineering/ R&D that goes into tennis racket gripage is mind boggling. There must be at least 100 different configurations of grips to chose from.

Anyway, I don't find that the grips are anymore slick when wet compared to cork. Only problem ( small problem) that I've had is that the stuff does get slick after your hands get slimy touching fish.

Small problem cause you seldom get your hands on a fish????

Anyway , next time I see you I'll take at look at the grip material. may be something others would want when i build the rods.
