Hi, Ed ju I have the small tour and xtra small hesacore grip. I also just purchased the Luxx invikta. Which size hesacore grip do you recommend me placing on it? Will I lose too much feedback going with the tour instead of the carbon model? You response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Not trying to be overly critical. You have alot of great friends/contacts like Jaume. I am just a new particpant to the sport and fell in love with the game just like you. It would not be a balancing issue, the Edgeguard is symmetrical and balanced just like the Tungsten tape is. Are you selling/commission on the Hesacore Grips or the Wilson overgrips, OR do you really just prefer them., Thanks again
Does the hexecore add grip size? I usually have to build up from 4.25 to 4.5. Maybe if I just put the hexecore on top of the original, it'll add another .25"?
I just put on my Hesacore, and over wrap. Ive played 2 times with it 4 hours worth. It makes Eastern very easy to find repeatably. but Yes in my opinion one hand switching to Continental for backhand blocks and punches or roll volleys at the NVZ are harder to switch to on the fly. The Continental bevel (bevel 2) is smaller and so the Hesacore "Holes" are smaller, on the bevel 3 (eastern) they are big and your knuckle and finger tips sink into them well for Eastern. But Im not sure I can stick with the grip because Continental is so nebulous and not solid to me. plus its hard to switch because the bevel 3 pockets are so pronounced compared to the bevel 2.

I'm sure you've tried rotating the grip slightly to fine tune. I rebuild my handles by adding balsa wood on the four main edges, gives it more girth and a more pronounced 'continental' bevel that you diminish with an overgrip. I don't think I could better my grip... for my hand anyways. Was just curious about this hesacore
The Tour version in small weighs .6oz on my scale… medium size weighs .65oz. Keep in mind you’re replacing your original grip and adding an overgrip. My DBD was 8.45oz with a ribbed grip and overgrip… then jumped to 8.65 with the medium Hesacore Tour.
For the Hesacore grips, can you transport them from one paddle to the next one if you get change to a new paddle or are they permanently on once you put one on a paddle?
you might be able to, i just put one on my new paddle. it would be tough and you would have to be careful but i think you could as long as you kept the plastic pieces
Hold On, Just A Minute! Ed. Please Respond. I am a longtime viewer/subscriber to your channel. Have viewed almost all your previous videos and really enjoy/appreciate your content. I noticed you stumbled when making the statement about which one to forego, the Tungsten or Edgeguard. First saying you would forego the Tungsten and then changing it to foregoing the Edgeguard. Which one is it. If the Edgeguard and the Tungsten Tape weigh the same amount. Why not Forego the Tungsten Tape, which costs alot more and exposes you to some chemicals(not as mich as lead tape). Protect your Paddle AND SAVE MONEY at the same time! Are you sponsored by Selkirk AND a Selkirk Salesman? Eagerly Waiting Your Response.Thanks
Tungsten/lead tape is great for allocating weight to a specific area of the paddle to increase stability or power (twist weight/swing weight). Edge guard does add weight, but is not dense enough to benefit specific areas like lead/tungsten can do. I am a sponsored Selkirk content creator
Last Comment/Questiom. Do you only use products that you get endorsed by and to try out for free Do you actually prefer and USE all the products that you demonstrate and show on your channel. I know you use Selkirk equipment, which have great Paddles. Are some products on your channel just done for viewership/ratings?
I carefully vet and work with companies that I 100% believe in. I am lucky that my favorite brands also believe in me and support me, but I never will promote products that I don’t vouch for. Hope that helps!
