Review on Upgrade Your Tennis Game with Tourna Grip XL Original Dry Feel Tennis Grip by Kuldip Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The grip of a tennis racket, of course. What about a road bike handlebar?

I have a habit of looking for alternative uses for things. With the Tourna Grip, a product I've been using for years on Völkl tennis racket grips, I've found another calling: road bike grips. One of the biggest annoyances I encounter while driving is the excessive pressure on my palm and wrists while driving. I once endured riding 2,000 miles in the summer as cross training for short track. Now that I'm middle-aged, I can't stand nonsense that makes me uncomfortable. That's why I ride a 2002 Lemond Zurich, a bike made from 853 Reynolds steel: it's stiff enough to get you uphill but soft enough to absorb bumps on flat ground. So if you're having the same problem, here's what you need to do: go down to the basement and get some extra tubing for the wiring. You know, the charcoal gray Styrofoam stuff you can buy at Home Depot for $1.87. Cut it out and shape the steering wheel and attach it with electrical tape. Then take a strip of Tourna Grip and wrap it around the padding. Bingo-Bango: The trembling wrist on the racing bike is over. Say hello to the softest handlebars you've ever handled.
