Customer Reviews
Love this productBeing from the south, this is a great product for hot days where you’re going to sweat a lot. I like the black ones, just buy the black ones. They might not last for too long, but I love these grips. My current favorite for a grip with no tack, and great absorption.
Great grip for sweaty handsI love this grip. I sweat quite a lot and I have found this to be my favorite grip. I have two racquets and switch every two games giving them time to dry a little. I find this works great. They do not get slippery. They are very thin but hold up amazingly well. I play probably 8-10 hours a week and can go up to 2 months on V-Dry grips before replacing them.
I would like them to be about 4 inches longer. They fit a normal racquet fine but on my 1/2 inch longer Babolat I really have to keep the overlap consistently thin. Surprisingly, they stay in place and do not expose the underlying grip.
Great dry gripI sweat excessively while I play. I tried this over grip. It does what it is supposed to do, but I don't like the very dry texture against my wet hand. I also play with a lot of spin so the grip rubs my hand constantly which makes the very dry grip more annoying.
It is good quality and it is what they advertise and promise so it may be unfair of me to write this review. I tried the Wilson Pro overgrip and liked it much more.
Just okI recently just bought some of these in both black and white based off the reviews. I play in Southern California and in the summertime my hands get quite sweaty. I've accidentally thrown my racket on serves a few times due to grip issues. First off these grips simply aren't long enough. I play a standard racket. A Yonex Ezone and the grip can't cover it all on a 4 1/4”. The grips feel like towels and have zero tack to them. I played a set last Saturday and had to take the grip off mid set due to my hand not being able to hold on. I had to switch back to the gamma perforated.

Comments: In my experience, the black grips are great. The others, however, are garbage in comparison (will not provide the grip you need for high level play). I have not tried the white yet, but all other colors get slick quick. It's unfortunate, because I like Villa products and the colors look great. If your're looking for performance, choose the black grip.

Comments: The yellow V-Dry are my favorite overgrips I've ever used. The black ones feel completely different and are harder and more abrasive than the bright colors. I love the soft, super dry feeling of these. They last forever, stay grippy, but not tacky or sticky feeling no matter what. I don't like the super tacky feeling of grips that feel like they are taping my fingers to the racquet. I don't need that and I enjoy the soft comfortable feeling these grips give me, they never get slippery in all weather. I don't have extremely sweaty palms. I'm 35 I play between a 4.0 and a 4.5 level player in Los Angeles.

Comments: After being a user for years of Tourna Grip and briefly using Super Grap, I tried V-Dry in black and green and it was great. It lasts so much longer than Tourna Grip and does not rip after a couple sets of usage. However I bought a 30 pack of the white and unfortunately it was not nearly as absorbent as the black or the green colors and felt tackier like Super Grap. Not sure if it was a defective batch or what, but I won't make that mistake again.

Comments: After reading reviews I had really high hopes for this overgrip. Unfortunately it is not absorbent enough for me. The durability is insane, one grip can last a month, probably more. But that doesn't matter if my racquet is slipping constantly, which it did with this grip. Tourna Grip is much more absorbent and much less durable, but between the two I'd have to pick Tourna because it won't slip, even if it only lasts for one day.

Comments: I have very sweaty palms when playing in hot weather, and I've been using nothing but Tourna Grip for ten years. However, I realized that Tourna Grip is starting to get pretty pricey, and the extremely poor durability of Tourna Grip only further exacerbates that. After several months of going on a journey to find a suitable replacement that's more economical and trying a bunch of different overgrips, Volkl V-Dry is where my journey ends. It has a rough and dry texture just like Tourna, and it absorbs just as well. The biggest advantage it has is its durability. Tourna would start to shred on me after one session, while V-Dry lasts me at least five sessions without tearing. It's also nice that it comes in multiple vibrant color options, since I've been getting tired of Tourna's blue color. It's also tapered on both sides for easier installation, whereas Tourna is un-tapered on both sides. The only downside with this overgrip is that it's slightly short if you have a bigger grip and a two-handed backhand, and that it's not as widely available as Tourna. But it wins in almost every other category.

Comments: Finally, a superior to the Tourna grip. I loved Tourna but wanted something more durable. Finally, I mean, it has been available for a while but you know how it goes trying to find a grip you like. For me, I don't need dry grip half the year, maybe longer, and use Yonex Super Grap most of the time. Long story short, this stuff grips better in the humid conditions and lasts maybe three times longer than Tourna does. It is a little stiffer feeling, but nothing you can't handle. Try it. Love it.

Comments: The Volkl V-Dry overgrips are superior to Tourna Grips. They offer slightly better absorption than Tourna and last much longer. My Tourna grips need replacement after every singles set. The Volkl V-Dry last for at least a couple of matches. I'll also add that I'm very pleased with my Volkl racquets, strings, and downhill skis!

Comments: Trying some different overgrips to see if I can find something I like more than Wilson Pro. Didn't like these at all and especially how they seemed to flake after some use.
From:Frank, 7/25/19
Comments: The best dry overgrip! Even my hands have not much sweat, but feel perfect when playing in hot and humid climate. I can 100% enjoying during match!!
From:Jonas, 8/14/18
Comments: Perfect grip for me. My hands don't sweat when I play. I was looking for something soft and cushy without being super tacky to the point to causing my hand to blister. Used Yonex Supergrap previously, which is great for 1-2 sessions, but the extra tackiness was causing my hand to blister. I also noticed that the Supergrap would shred rather quickly and didn't hold up much when playing 2-3 times a week. Have to agree with the previous comments about this grip being a hybrid between the Yonex Supergrip and the Tournagrip Original. Compared to the Tournagrip, it is not as slippery, and it also has more "squish" to it. Good durability compared to other overgrips that I've tried.

Comments: I love these overgrips. I used to use the Wilson Pro Overgrip but I bought these randomly one day because they were a great deal on TW and now they are my go to overgrip. The super soft and smooth feel is my favorite part of the grip. It also does a good job of keeping dry. It's not very tacky (which is a plus for me) and it's way more durable then the Wilson Pro Overgrip. Looking forward to buying more of these.

Comments: Bond pretty much hit the nail on the head with his review. It's like a hybrid between Yonex Super Grap and Tourna Grip. It has the soft feel of Super Grap, and is almost as absorbent as Tourna Grip, but has a better feel than Tourna.
From:Alex, 9/15
Comments: If Tourna Grip and Super Grap had a lovechild, it would be V-Dry! Best of both worlds -- soft, absorbent, dry feel, great durability. Works great, even here in triple digit Texas!
From:Bond, 8/15
Comments: These are now my go-to grips. I've used the Babolat Pro Tour and was a devout user of Yonex Super Grap until they started causing blisters. The V-Dry is plush/soft, absorbent, and just enough tack that it won't rip the skin right off your palms. One grip lasts forever! Far and away the best quality grips I've ever used. The durability justifies the price.
From:Paige, 8/14
Comments: I've been a long time user of tacky overgrips. My tacky overgrip of choice is the Kimony Hi-Soft EX Ultra thin (0.3 mm thick! Very minimal build up and very durable for its thickness!). Tried dry overgrips in the past (e.g. Tourna Grip, Dunlop Viper Dry Grip), but didn't like them. The Kimony grips are excellent grips, but quite expensive. So, in my hunt to find a less expensive grip with good playability and acceptable durability I tested the Volkl V-tac and threw in the Volkl V-Dry as a filler. I actually am quite impressed with V-Dry overgrip. So, much so that I will buy the 12 or 30 pack if/when they become available at TW.
