Who is the Babolat VS Original x3 for?
For players who want to feel the bevels of the handle without building it up. The dry feel suits anyone who dislikes a sticky surface. If you want a tacky hold, the Pro Response or Pro Tour 2.0 is a better match.
Strengths
- Very thin: 0.43 mm keeps the handle close to its original size.
- Dry feel: absorbs sweat without a sticky sensation.
- Long track record: according to Babolat, Rafael Nadal has used it for over a decade.
Things to consider
- Being dry, it does not give the extra hold of a tacky overgrip.
