Babolat VS Original
A thin, 0.44 mm tacky overgrip with medium absorption — noticeably slimmer than the Wilson Pro Overgrip above, which changes how it layers over an existing base grip more than the tack or absorption ratings do.
What the sources agree on
At 0.44 mm this is meaningfully thinner than the 0.60 mm Wilson overgrip in this batch — a real, measured difference that matters most to players layering multiple overgrips or who prefer the thinnest possible build-up over their base grip, since thickness has a direct, undisputed effect on final handle size.
Where they disagree
Tack and absorption are rated the same as the Wilson overgrip (tacky, medium), but rated categories don't capture everything — how a 0.44 mm build compares in outright grip security or longevity against a 0.60 mm overgrip once both are worn in is a genuine open question we haven't run a durability test to settle.
