In recent years cushion wrap has been widely used by high level players. GR-50 Cushion Wrap was developed by VICTOR in 2013 and comes in three colors. Now, the origins of cushion wrap and how it is used will be introduced in brief.
Cushion wrap’s origins
Cushion wrap is a thin film that was initially used to provide protection for sports injuries, serving as a protective layer between the skin and the plaster to prevent the fixed plaster and skin coming directly into contact. As it was often skin colored it was also called “skin film.”
As cushion wrap is made of PU and has good stretchability and soft feel, gradually players began to use it to adjust the feel of the racket grip, with players usually removing the existing inner grip and then wrapping cushion wrap around the racket grip to adjust texture and hold feel.
How to use cushion wrap:
1. Remove the inner grip tape and remove as much of the glue from it as you can.
2. According to personal width and hold feel preference, wrap a suitable amount of cushion wrap around the handle.
3. Then wrap outer grip tape or towel grip tape around the grip. In just three simple steps you can customize your racket handle!Function of cushion wrap:
| 1. | Adjusts the width of the grip. |
| 2. | Makes holding the racket more comfortable. |
| 3. | Adjusts the balance point of the racket. |
| 4. | Easy to change, hygienic (we suggest cushion wrap is changed regularly to keep the handle clean and comfortable to hold.) |
| Another function：When a sports injury occurs it acts as a barrier between the skin and plaster. | |
