Head Softac Traction is designed for players who prioritise feel and secure handling above moisture management the primary design principle is comfort and traction rather than sweat absorption. The soft polyurethane base delivers a plush, cushioned underhand feel that makes long sessions more comfortable and reduces the grip-tightening fatigue that harder grips can cause over time.
The textured embossed surface creates mechanical traction between the grip and the palm small raised patterns increase friction contact points, providing secure handling that doesn’t rely on tackiness alone. This makes the Softac Traction a strong choice for players who play in drier, cooler conditions where a super-tacky grip isn’t necessary, and for those who prefer the feel of a textured surface over a smooth tacky one.
The soft construction also absorbs some handle vibration on contact, contributing to a more comfortable playing experience across the wrist and forearm. The Softac Traction installs directly over the bare handle as a replacement grip, adding the same slight girth increase common to all replacement grips. It can be used as a standalone finish or topped with an overgrip for additional customisation.
Compatible with all standard tennis racquets.
