Cold Shrink Silicone Grip is a handle installation technology based on the properties of silicone rubber, achieving tight bonding with the shaft through cold shrink process. Key features include:
- Material & Process:
- Made of vulcanized silicone rubber with high elasticity, temperature resistance (-55℃ to 200℃), and waterproof performance.
- Installed via cold shrink process: The grip expands after vulcanization and naturally shrinks at room temperature to fit the shaft tightly without heating, avoiding thermal damage to carbon fiber structures.
- Structural Design:
- Anti-slip Layer: Surface is covered with anti-slip soft spikes (1.5mm width, 3mm length) or patterns to enhance grip friction.
- Reinforcement Layer: Embedded with cross-linked silicone rubber ropes (e.g., first/second reinforcement ropes) and vertical ribs for improved tensile strength and durability.
- Advantages:
- Compatible with irregular shafts and custom handles; easy installation (self-shrinking within 24 hours).
- Moisture-wicking and anti-slip properties ideal for sweaty hands; lightweight material reduces overall racket weight.
