"AUTHENTIC" FAIRWAY TENNIS GRIPS by Balmforth of England

E.B Balmforth Ltd. of Leeds England was the manufacturer of Fairway Racquet Grips.
The company consisted of a farm where they raised their own cattle, and a Tannery, where the
grips along with other leather products were made. Production ceased in the late 90's and the
land was sold for real estate development. Contrary to an Urban Legend, the shut down wasn't
due to a Mad Cow Epidemic. No other tennis grip feels, lasts or performs quite like a genuine
FAIRWAY Leather Grip. Fairway Scams seem to be rampant on ebay, so we must warn you
"Buyer Beware". Most offerings are for the current production, also pay attention to the sizes!
Other tennis retailers are curretly selling Fairway Grips. We consider them to be "Reproductions, as they're being manufactured today, decades later, and marketed by a the son of the Balmforth's. obviously they are being produced somewhere other than that Leeds England Farm & Tannery, probably CHINA. If you compare these current production grips marketed as Fairways & sold by some retailers to originals made in Leeds, you'll no doubt realize they're 2 very different products, with a different feel, although the current ones look like the originals. They may even have the same Original Gold Foil Fairway Gold Logo embossed on them. We charge considerably more, for our ORIGINAL Fairway Grips, & for a good reason. Which Fairways do you want? Our Fairways & Balmforth grips were made by the original Balmforth Tannery in Leeds England in the 90's. They have been continuously stored in a temperature and humidity controlled safe. These grips can be "Cleaned and Retackified". Request instructions. Be aware that these grips came in varying lengths & widths, with some having a total coverage area only suitible for Old School, Short Gripped Racquets, Racquets with Small Grip Sizes, or in some extreme cases for Junior Racquets . Be aware that there is no adhesive strip installed on the back of older grips. The use of rubber cement or double coated tape, is required to properly attach & stabilize them on a Modern Plastic Palleted Racquet. |

The Sorbothane Grip System is the worlds most shock reducing racquet sports grip.
It reduces the amount of shock reaching your arm through the racquet handle interface.
Made of the same material, they're like a set of Dr. Scholl's Gel Insoles for your arm!
Add to that, They're Permanent, & value for the price becomes obvious. The System utilizes
2 components; the Permanent Sorbothane Undergrip, & a layer or two of any overgrip or your
choice. The only maintainence required of you was the replacement of the outer layer of Overgrip,
as you deemed it to be required. Due to the intricacies of installing the product properly we only
sell them installed on racquets we sell, or racquets sent in to us for service. | |||

The Moody Adhere Tennis Grip is a unique product no longer in production as Moody
is no longer in business. While considered a Synthetic Grip, it has nothing in common with
the everyday synthetic grips (aka Cushion Grips) that come as standard equipment on most
racquets today. It is made of a synthetic suede like material, mixed with an elastic type rubber.
It has been treated with a tackifying agent as well. Rather than being Smooth Surfaced, it has a
noticeably Suede like Textured Surface, that allows moisture to wick away from your hand, while
also being Tacky, making it easy to hold onto. Undeniably the best replacement grip for those
plagued by wet hands. It stretches & thus thins somewhat, when being installed. | |||
