Study of potash in N.D. to be done
The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources will be holding a hearing on its new subsurface rules next week in Bismarck.
The hearing is set for Tuesday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the Mineral Resources Department's new building at 1000 E. Calgary Ave. The hearing is open to the public.
Ed Murphy, North Dakota state geologist, said the rules will cover a wide range of minerals.
Subsurface minerals means all naturally occurring elements and their compounds, volcanic ash, precious metals, carbonates, and natural mineral salts of boron, bromine, calcium, fluorine, iodine, lithium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, thorium, uranium, and sulfur, and their compounds, but does not include sand and gravel and rocks crushed for sand and gravel, according to the N.D. Century Code.
Potash is among the minerals included in the new subsurface rules, Murphy said.
He also said a geological study will be done of the potash in the state. Ned Kruger, a geologist, with the N.D. Geological Survey, will be the person to primarily work on the study that will possibly be completed by later this year.
Potash or potassium salts are primarily used in the production of fertilizer. Exploration took place in northwest North Dakota in the 1970s and more recently, Dakota Salts LLC did a test well near Lignite in Burke County.
The company was issued a permit for the potash test well in August 2010. It was the first exploratory drilling permit for potash issued in the state for more than 30 years. That exploratory well was drilled near Lignite in late 2010.
Dakota Salts LLC, incorporated in Bismarck, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sirius Minerals Plc, a diversified potash exploration and development company based in London.
Dakota Salts leased more than 16,000 mineral acres in North Dakota for possible potash development.
Two years ago the North Dakota Legislature approved a 2 percent tax on potash production.
J.T. Starzecki, a spokesman for Sirius Minerals Plc. in Minneapolis, verified Dakota Salts now is focusing its efforts in England.
However, Murphy said there are a couple companies still interested in potash in the state.

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, the annual junior midwinter party was held in the Jamestown YWCA assembly hall Saturday afternoon with about 150 young girls present. The affair was in the nature of a St. Valentine's party and the children all seemed to have a very delightful time. The program included vocal selections by Miss Hazel Shaffer and Miss Myra Devoe; recitations by Miss Twila Kitch and Miss Signe Swensson and a story told by Mrs. Mabel E. Parks. There was a big valentine box from which nearly 1,000 valentines were distributed. Refreshments were served.
While at work preparing dinner on Sunday, shortly before noon, Mrs. Andrew Jensen of Camp Street in Jamestown suddenly dropped dead. She was walking from one room to another when she suddenly staggered and fell. Relatives present hastened to her assistance and a physician was summoned but she lived only a few minutes in spite of every effort. She never regained consciousness and was dead when the physician arrived. The cause of death was given as acute heart disease. Jensen was survived by her husband, who had been ill himself several weeks, having undergone an operation. Needless to say, the shock was to him very great. She was also survived by a daughter, Mrs. Sanfrid Peterson of Frewsburg. It was a remarkable fact that Jensen's heart beat but 32 times per minute when the usual normal pulse beat of a person was 72 times per minute. This low heart beat was unusual and it was hoped that Jensen would go before the medical society that her case might be studied.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, Walter T. Jones, 33, who said he had rented a room at 8 South Main St. in Jamestown but whose home was in Buffalo, was being questioned carefully as police sought to determine why he impersonated a state bus inspector and spread false statements about the equipment of the local bus company the previous day. Jones was arrested after he had stopped two buses during the day. On both occasions he made the bus drivers test their brakes and other safety equipment, throwing the buses several minutes off schedule. Jones told police a weird story to explain his unusual conduct. When first brought into headquarters he insisted he was acting with authority. When police became too inquisitive, Jones finally admitted that he had pretended to be a "bus inspector" to make his wife believe he had a job. It was possible that Jones would be subjected to a mental examination.
Only the presence of mind and quick action of Ralph Schroeder saved the large barn, one of the best and largest in Charlotte Center, owned by A. J. Rood of Sinclairville. There were 60 head of cattle in the structure and large quantities of hay and grain in proportion to their needs. As Schroeder was coming down the stairs in the barn his lantern bumped against his knee and before he could retrieve it, the lantern crashed to the floor and exploded. Schroeder was quick to action and saved the barn with only a small loss to its owner. The barn had not yet been wired for electricity which had just recently become available to the neighborhood.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, control of the beaver population in the wetlands between Jamestown's Jones and Gifford Avenue and the Chautauqua Lake outlet (the Chadakoin River) was a problem to be solved by land owners and the city. This was the conclusion voiced by Legislator Thomas Erlandson, D-Lakewood, at a meeting of Chautauqua County Legislature's Environmental Committee. It came near the end of a lengthy discussion regarding the extensive nuisance problems caused by the energetic, chisel-toothed fur-bearers. Richard Sturges, civil engineer with the county's Department of Public Works said he felt it was a matter of having to learn to co-exist with the problem. The engineer said that if an area constituted prime beaver habitat, the big broad-tailed rodents would be back. Sturges said he felt it was not the county Highway Department's responsibility to destroy the beavers and their dams.
The state Legislature's top Republican had endorsed the design, if not the details, of Gov. Mario Cuomo's plan to increase New York state's minimum wage, workers' compensation payments and unemployment insurance benefits. "I think that all three of those require some revisions but don't pin me down to the amount," said Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson. Anderson said he would like to see hikes in all three areas worked out at the same time in negotiations involving the Legislature, governor and representatives of labor groups and businesses of the state. Hikes in all three areas had to be approved by the Legislature.

Smiles, tears, and pride were on the faces of students, instructors, family and friends during Bluegrass Community & Technical College's (BCTC) Practical Nursing pinning ceremony held November 30. The pinning ceremony not only celebrates the accomplishments of study, practicums, and personal sacrifice, it means leaving school and entering the workforce as a Practical Nurse.
The pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated nurses into the nursing profession. During the ceremony, students light individual candles representing one of the most well-known nurses, Florence Nightingale. It symbolizes the "passing of the flame" from Nightingale to each nurse.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, demonstrated the world's first DirectX 11-capable graphics processing unit (GPU) at Computex Taipei 2009, exactly a year ago from today. The first ATI DirectX 11 chips - code-named Evergreen - were launched in late Septmber, 2009, and so far ATI has shipped more than eleven million of DX11 graphics chips.
"We have shipped over eleven DirectX 11 GPUs since we launched in the fall. It is a huge technology effect. Microsoft has told us that the transition to DirectX 11 has been the fastest transition for DirectX ever," said Leslie Sobon, vice president of worldwide product marketing at AMD, during a press event at Computex Taipei.
According to ATI's arch-rival Nvidia Corp. itself and independent analysts, Nvidia shipped around 400 thousand DirectX 11-capable graphics till mid-May 2010.
At present ATI is the only provider of desktop and mobile top-to-bottom DirectX 11 solutions. The main competitor – Nvidia – only ships graphics and computing solutions powered by the code-named GF100 chip, the monster, which contains over three billion of transistors and that is very expensive to manufacture. Nvidia's mainstream DirectX 11 solutions that belong to Fermi generation are projected to launch in summer and fall of 2010.

Intel Corp. has decided to postpone the release of its central processing units (CPUs) with built-in graphics core to 2010 because of the "customer feedback", according to a slide from a roadmap of the chipmaker published by a web-site.
"Intel remains committed to delivering stable, high quality, industry leading platforms on a predictable cadence. Based on 2008 client platform learnings and customer feedback, we have realigned our features and schedules for 2009 mainstream Nehalem chips," a statement published on a slide that resembles a slide from Intel's roadmap, reads. The slide was revealed by HKEPC web-site.
Originally planned to be released in 2009, code-named Auburndale processor for mobile computers and Havendale chip for desktop PCs (both based on Nehalem micro-architecture) are now scheduled to be launched in early 2010, based on the information from the slide. The delay is hardly critical for Intel in terms of revenue, but since those chips greatly simplify the company's production process, it is strange that Intel decided to delay such products.
Currently Intel produces both processors and chipsets to serve the vast majority of Intel-based platforms. CPUs and core-logic (with or without integrated graphics) sets are made using different process technologies, e.g., microprocessors are produced using 45nm tech, whereas chipsets are manufactured utilizing 65nm fabrication process. Theoretically, producing highly integrated CPUs with memory controller and graphics core inside could improve overall manufacturing efficiency, provided that there are no production constraints on fabs capable of making the products.
It is obvious that with a large amount of Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Quad chips along with compatible core-logic sets on the market Intel may not be interested in promoting a completely different platform. Nevertheless, the delay may affect certain projects of Intel.
Intel's Havendale processor is multi-chip module (MCM) in LGA1160 form-factor containing Nehalem micro-architecture-based dual-core CPU as well as graphics and memory controller hub (GMCH) that features dual-channel DDR3 memory controller, PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface to connect add-on graphics cards as well as integrated graphics core. It is projected that both chips on the MCM are made using 45nm process technology.
Competing code-named Fusion/Swift microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices, which also feature integrated graphics engine are also expected to be launched in late 2009 or early 2010.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Chamber Corner
Panama and Clymer districts provide leadership
By TODD TRANUM
President and CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier
Kudos to the Panama and Clymer Central School districts! The approval of a shared superintendent between the two districts is an idea that makes perfect sense and can set a positive example for others in our region.
These two districts have found a way to create a meaningful shared services agreement. By pooling resources on a superintendent, each district will save an estimated $50,000 to $60,000 a year. That is a true savings, with no impact on programs whatsoever. Bert Lictus, who is currently the Panama Central School Superintendent, will become the superintendent for both districts effective Oct. 26.
We wish both of these districts well as this process moves forward. Each district has said that this will be an experimental process for them. Even with what must be some trepidation as they try out this new venture, these school boards had the courage to take a step towards savings. We sincerely applaud their efforts.
Each local school district should remain focused on providing the best educational environment and offering the most opportunity for its students. Reducing administrative costs can certainly help to maintain vital educational and extracurricular programs. We encourage all school districts in Chautauqua County to continue seeking productive change that can reduce costs while still preserving their important work of educating future generations.
Chamber Awards Banquet honors leaders
Each year the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet pays tribute to the hard work and dedication of many individuals and organizations that make positive contributions in our communities.
This year's event will honor County Executive Greg Edwards as Person of the Year; Lake Shore Savings Bank with the Economic Development Award. The six Community Chambers of Commerce will present Community Service Awards as follows: Dunkirk, Doug Fenton; Fredonia, Tim Eades; Hanover, Matt Bogosian; Jamestown, Terry Frank and Dennis Webster; Mayville-Chautauqua, Access Channel 5; and Westfield-Barcelona, Nancy Hanks.
Everyone in Chautauqua County is invited to join us in saluting these very deserving award winners during the Chamber's Annual Awards Banquet, which will be held Thursday, Oct. 17 at the Williams Center on the SUNY Fredonia campus. This event is sponsored by: DFT Communications, Lake Erie Regional Health System of NY, Liazon Corp., the OBSERVER, The Post-Journal, and the SUNY Fredonia. Reservations are required. You can register online at www.chautauquachamber.org or call the Chamber at 366-6200 or 484-1101.
Health insurance informational and enrollment meetings

We want to bring this series on the Marks of an Excellent Shepherd to a close with a short excerpt from a recent sermon from John MacArthur. Coming on the heels of the Shepherds' Conference just over a week ago, the message is called "The Pastor as a Parent." With hundreds of visiting pastors and church leaders still in attendance, John discussed the attitude and heart of a shepherd and how he is called to faithfully serve his flock.
In this short excerpt, you'll hear shocking quotes from some of the most influential and popular preachers about their philosophies of ministry, and the priority they place on serving God's people. Their words stand in stark contrast to the true, biblical heart of a godly shepherd.
You can hear the rest of "The Pastor as a Parent" here.

Thanks for your straight trajectory over the 40+ years Pastor John. I have listened to virtually all the messages I can find of Pastor John's on the Church and leadership. I have missed this one but will have it listened to by day's end.
However one of the Churches biggest challenges while candidating a pastor is to know if your prospect has the HEART of a Shepherd.
He can have all the tools, all the education from the best school and come out, without the heart (INSTINCT) of a shepherd.
And that may take a lot of time to discern, and only be seen when you work right alongside the man.
I use the word "INSTINCT". That is God given, inherited from the Spirit, gift that he won't be able to bypass. It's his nature. Just like a sheep dog can't help himself around sheep. And given that a real good sheep dog can become better at obeying his master, he is still born with the "how to". I know, I've used them! And there is a very strong parallel!
So my biggest gap is – how does one ascertain in a short candidating process if the prospect is gifted such? I'm not sure if it's possible. We just tried. With more "ducks in a row" than I've ever seen, and we all blew it.

Rick, I'll take a stab at your question. Not knowing the process you've experienced, and knowing that no process is perfect, I do think there are some indicators of a shepherds heart (and I would be curious to hear from you if what I propose was tried and failed).
One of the most difficult aspects of shepherding commonly neglected by seminaries in preparation and pastors in practice is that of counseling. Any faithful pastor will strongly adhere to the sufficiency of Scripture for all life and godliness, but many will functionally deny it by referring their hurting sheep to outside counselors who usually are imbibed with worldly wisdom.
So I would ask a prospective shepherds questions like, "How would you handle a man who comes to you seeking help with a sexual addiction? How would you work with a couple on the brink of divorce? What would you do if a woman confessed to you that she struggled with drunkenness? How would you counsel a person who is overcome and even "obsessed" with the fear of death?"
Those questions will tell you if the person at least has a desire to minister to people in difficult circumstances. But it would also be helpful to ask, "Under what circumstances would you refer someone to a psychologist? At what point would you stop meeting with a couple struggling in their marriage?" These kinds of questions drive at the extent or limits of their commitment to shepherding struggling people.
Apart from counseling, another indicator of a shepherd's heart is their commitment to visitation. There is room for variety here, but a shepherd is someone who wants to get to know people in the church personally. One unfaithful shepherd said something like, "If you want to see me you better be on your deathbed." A faithful shepherd will make it a priority to spend time with those under his care. And that time is not just hanging out at the ball game, but being in the home, asking probing questions to see where people are at spiritually, and what their needs are that he and others in the church can legitimately meet. Again, depending on the size of church and particular circumstances this will look different, but the desire and heart to know people individually should be there.
As one who is seeking to be a faithful shepherd, this is where I would start because this is where I see many pastors failing.

Shepherding Paradox: I think I've heard that Pastor John started spending 30-40 hrs a week studying his Bible etc. And I firmly believe that's why God has done His work at Grace like He has.
I think I understand that his major role at GCC is to be the "teaching pastor". A 30 - 40 hr week in a pastor's office studying doesn't leave much time to be a "Pastor", or to do "pastoral" work.
And I believe Pastor John would say that the group of Elders is there to do the pastoring, and so they should.
So the paradox is; why do we (the sheep) feel so lost without a "shepherd"?
Thanks Gabriel Powell - I really appreciate your insight and have copied your statement down for future reference. Very helpful and insightful.
We went to our kids Church today who have just had their 2 pastors (1 youth) this winter. A congregation of probably 150 and what a quandary they too are in to discern a shepherd who will make a 40+ yr commitment instead of a career "hireling". There are probably 10 "evangelical" churches around us and I can't think of one worth going to.
As to weather your prescribed process was followed in our situation. I do know that from our end it wasn't. We were relying on recommendations. Thanks for your interest. The desert here is vast. Our little group would like to find a man who would spend 30 - 40 hrs a week studying and preparing himself, let the men of the church administer the daily needs and then demonstrate "a-ha" expository exegesis of the "WORD".

Alabama destroying Michigan.. yikes.
Iowa barely beats Northern Illinois, Wisconsin holds on to just bartely beat Northern Iowa, and Penn St loses to MAC team Ohio. And the one Top 10 team the conference has managed to ginny up enough hype for is getting its ass handed to it on national TV. Yep, the Big Ten is looking true to form this year.
Michigan was never a top ten quality team. Poll placement for the purpose of pimping a week 1 top ten matchup.
Are you suggesting that the coaches and AP voters care about ABC's ratings to such a degree that they'd essentially rig the voting?
No, I don't think a broad conspiracy exists to game the ratings. But considerations like the early schedule undoubtedly influence preseason rankings that are a weird, indeterminate mix of the previous season's performance and the upcoming season's expectations. I'm suggesting more of a subconscious desire for "big" games in the minds of voters, and perhaps a willingness to reward teams that schedule a big name non-conference opponent to open the season.
Oregon at 50 points with seven minutes left in the first half. Good lord.
What the hell does any voter know before atleast week 4? Preseason polls are a joke and not to be trusted. Perfect example is always Michigan. App State anyone?
Any So Cal Nebraska fans? I have an extra ticket for the Rose Bowl game next Saturday that I need to sell...PM me ASAP. My buddies are hardcore Huskers from Lincoln so you'll fit right in.
The Rose Bowl is next week?
I hate Cal sports so much. So constantly irritating and disappointing.
Just secured a ticket to the Mizzou/Georgia game.
Holy shit Arkansas goes down to UL-Monroe
I don't think Nebraska thought they were gonna play a team that was good. Upset # 3 for today.
nebraksa loses. wisconsin loses. penn st. loses. michigan, at home, barely beats air force. yay big 10.
oh and illinois is getting its ass handed to it. but hey at least the big 10 can beat umass and new hampshire.
Is it just me, or are there not a lot of awesome teams in college football this year. It's basically Alabama, USC, LSU, and Oregon. I'm not that impressed with anyone else. West Virginia seems to have a crazy offense, but we'll see how they handle the transition to the Big 12 from the Big East.
Wheew Arizona!
Wow the last 18 minutes of the MU/UGA game was brutal
This is horrible news...
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o had a terrible week of tragedy and loss.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Te'o's grandmother passed away on Tuesday night. The next day Te'o's girlfriend, identified by the Detroit Free Press as Lennay Kekua, lost a battle with leukemia.
The Chicago Tribune said Te'o plans to play at Michigan State, and it sounds like his Irish teammates have helped him through an unspeakably difficult 24-hour stretch:
"He lost some people very close to him, and it's obviously taken a toll on him," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. "Our players have been there for him and have been a great support. We'll support him. He'll be with us. He practiced. He'll be playing Saturday against Michigan State.
"Unfortunately, he's gone through a very rough 24, 48 hours. But his support and his family at home have been great, and all of the coaches and players have been there for him. He wants to be with his teammates, he wants to be with the people that care about him. He's a strong man and he's going through a tough time, but he'll rise to the occasion."
Here's hoping being with his teammates this weekend helps Te'o get through the grief of a devastating week.
If he wasn't dating someone with leukemia, he wouldn't have suffered that loss.
is everyone in santa monica that confused?

Comments: I've been using the Gamma Supreme overgrip because of the high tack, but I wanted to try
something with even more tack. The website says the Yonex have "great tack" but in my opinion, it simply doesn't have
good tack. It has almost no tack and are far inferior to the Gamma's. I will not use them again. I'm very disappointed with
these overgrips.
From: Don, 11/16
Comments: Nice tack, decent moisture absorption, and fairly long durability. I get sweaty pretty quickly so
there are some overgrips I can't use, but Supergrap works for me. It's right up there with Wilson Pro for me but it doesn't
last quite as long. Overall, a very nice overgrip.
From: Shintaro, 11/16
Comments: I've been using these overgrips for as long as I can remember and I don't see myself switching
anytime soon. They have a very soft and comfortable feel with just the right amount of tackiness. The durability is also
excellent, giving me about 12-15 hours of playtime before getting worn down enough, though it does maintain a good level
of grip and can be used much longer if desired. The initial level of tackiness does fade within a few hours but still maintains
a good level of grip onward. This grip is also easy to install with enough pliability allowing you to make a very clean initial
wrap around the buttcap of the racket. This line of grips also has one of the best color selections allowing you to create
some great looking racket setups. I also wanted to note that some of the brighter colored grips (applies to other brands as
well) can transfer onto your replacement grip so if that is an issue you should probably stick with white or black. I have had
no issues with having the colors bleed onto my hands while playing however like I've experienced with other brands.
Overall, this is my favorite overgrip, slightly edging out the similar Wilson Pro grip for me in terms of comfort and durability
and my go-to recommendation for anyone who asks.
From: Henry, 11/16
Comments: This and Wilson Pro Overgrip are the best grips that I have ever used. Just be sure that the grip
under it is not leather, otherwise it gets torn quickly. Best paired with tacky replacement grips.
From: Gerry, 10/16
Comments: To me, this string is overrated and not durable.
From: Mark, 5/16
Comments: If you want a great quality tacky grip, this is it ! Don't be put off by the 0.6mm thickness, if you
think this grip may be to thick as it is not. It it wonderfully soft and stretch and goes on a treat especially around the butt
cap end where quite often the overgrips can crease up.
From: Gary, 4/16
Comments: Great grip. I play 1-2 hours a day and never have any problems with slipping or shredding. They
can last me about a 2-3 weeks but I change after about a week and a half because they get dirty.
From: Jason, 3/16
Comments: Good tackiness and a great cushioned feel.
From: Rick, 1/16
Comments: This is the best overgrip I have used. I have tried Wilson, Head, etc. but in terms of comfort,
perspiration absorption, durability (i.e. looking like new when the others have worn out) this is by far the best.
From: Raj, 9/15
Comments: Great overgrip! It doesn't last as long as I would like (need to change it every couple weeks), but it
very tacky and very absorbent. The red is closer to pink.

Comments: This grip was not durable for me. It lasted only 2-3 matches until it began to wear out. On a
positive side, it feels good to start off with. It has good grip and soft feel to it; it's also tacky, but wears out eventually in a
longer match. I'm a 4.0 player, and I play 3 times/week.
From: Nathan, 5/15
Comments: In terms of feel and wear, I see no difference between this Yonex Super Grap and Wilson Pro
The overgrip feels tacky right from the start; thins out over time and due to use; worn out in places. The only difference is
Yonex pack produces more waste than Wilson (so +1 for Wilson Pro overgrip): transparent plastic layer and hollow plastic
around which 3 overgrips are wrapped around.
From: Parv, 12/14
Comments: This is the best overgrip I have ever tried. Durable, absorbent, and just enough tack. It is a little
on the
thick side, but absorbs sweat as good as if not better than tourna, but way easier to put on the racquet. My all time
favorite! I
only wish they were a little cheaper!

From: Tom, 10/14
Comments: Perfect for long handled racquets! I have a AeroPro Drive Plus with a 4 1/2 handle. Very few grips
make it to the top of the handle. This grip does so, very easily. I like thin grips, and this is tolerable at 0.6mm (I prefer
From: Long, 10/14
Comments: I would say it's not as absorbent as the Wilson Pro or Tourna grip, but it's still a very good grip. I
try more in the future.
From: Jerod, 6/14
Comments: Best I've tried. Like Wilson Pro but with a little more tack and lasts me about 3-4 times longer. I'm
finding my color and the red is more like a pink. Not true to the color on screen. Yellow is, however.
From: Jay, 5/14
Comments: This is the best overgrip money can buy. Not too tacky, but soft enough and very long lasting. Not
that, but I can use the reverse side for even more longevity. Too bad everybody knows this already and the price has gone
up over
the last few years. Still the cheapest one considering the long usage and quality.
From: Yalcin, 1/14
Comments: This stuff is really the best! Wilson is good but more expensive and Super Grap is the best on the
market. I stocked up when they had the package with 4 for the same price as the three. Wish I had bought more than the
7 packs
I did. It lasts a long time and even when it looks dirty, it still works to absorb moisture and help me hold on to the stick!
Thin but
durable. There may be a more expensive overgrip out there and may be some equal, but there is not one better!
From: CF, 7/13
Comments: I'm a loyal customer once I choose a brand, but it takes me a long time to settle on one. I've
settled on
this one. Even if you don't try another overgrip, you will never be sorry with Super Grap because it does everything you'd
want it to
do anyway. You can flip it to the other side when you feel it needs to change, if you want to save some money. You'll not
feel that
the grip is made cheaply. It will not tear on you. If you end up with blisters, it will be due to how the racquet is being used
or how
often you're playing, not due to the grip. If the racquet slips out of a hand, it will be due to the hold, the position on-court,
or the
opponent's shot, not the grip. If you feel you need to change it because of moisture, I'd be willing to put money on you
being in
the top 2% of the world for performance sweating, right up there with Berdych, and no grip will do better for you than this
anyway. If one thing about this grip says it all, it is this: it lasts for such a long time and performs as it should, so well that
you will
most likely change the grip because it is dirty, not because the grip isn't working anymore.
From: Michael, 5/13
Comments: This is the best grip ever! I used to use Wilson grips but switched to Yonex and in my opinion, this
one of the best tennis products I have ever used.
From: Bill, 4/13
Comments: Initially I ordered these after reading alot of the reviews. I've been using Wilson Pro for years with
complaints. The Yonex feels slightly thinner than the Wilson Pro overgrip. Looking at them side by side, it does appear that
Yonex super grap is a little thinner. The "feel" of both seem to be very similar with the right amount of tackiness, stickiness
softness (for me). What I really like about the Yonex is it seems much more "flipable" to me which really extends the life of
overgrip over the Wilson. After about a month, I flip the Wilson pro overgrip, but the "B" underside (directly against the grip)
very different and papery/cloth-like, not the same rubbery, stickiness that "A" side feels. To me, both sides of the Yonex
feel very
consistent and the same. I can play 1-2 months with the "A" side, then unwrap, flip it over and use the "B" side for another
months. I know we're only talking about a doller per wrap, but why not extend the life of your overgrip when the "B" side is
new and used. Thanks Yonex for making a great overgrip. I still like the "A" side of the wilson pro, but I have switched and
on from the wilson pro and getting more bang for my dollar with the Yonex.
From: Michael, 3/13
Comments: I purchased these to protect and build up the grip on my Vcore 100S. I absolutely love this grip!
great throughout play, remains tacky enough and dry so you don't lose grip of your racquet. Most of all, it's comfortable
not to cause blisters, unlike another brand that I tried. My son uses this as well on his Dunlop Bio 300 and loves it as well.
used several in the past from Wilson, Head, Tourna and others and never liked them as much as these. Well done Yonex!
From: Bill, 3/13
Comments: I bought this overgrip thinking I would try out a new feel. I loved how it never lost its tackiness and
gave me extremely stable shots. I use this grip on my Yonex VCore 98 and I absolutely love it! The variety of colors is great
they really pop! I will definitely continue to use this overgrip as it is. It is truly one my of my favorite tennis products overall!

From: Penang, 8/12
Comments: Even after this grip loses its dry tackiness (after 10+ hours,
it still regains some tack when it gets wet. This lets me use it twice
as long as other grips. And yet it's one of the cheapest. SuperGrap
isn't just my favorite overgrip; it's one of my favorite tennis products
From: R, 5/12
Comments: My favorite grip among 9 that I have tried. Similar to Wilson
Pro but more durable, thicker, and LONGER. The extra length lets you use
wider overlaps for extra texture. Stays tacky when drenched, tackiness
lasts for 10+ hours of playing time --in the tropics! The many available
colors are a bonus. The only other grip that has similar tack when drenched is Tourna, which
has terrible durability, and Kimony Neo-Dry, which is only sold in Asia.
SuperGrap is really the best all-round grip I've tried.
From: Wes, 5/12
Comments: I have been using this brilliant overgrip since I started
playing tennis. It provides great feel and tackiness. I also tried
Tourna Dry Grip recently as my friend recommended it to me. However, I
still love the feel of the Yonex grip above everything else. Use it and
you won't regret.
From: Tung, 4/12
Comments: I've been using the Dunlop Hydratac and Babolat Pro Tour before and tried this one based on
the good
reviews. One of the previous notes about the red not being really read is true. It's more like a pink color. Also they are
not as
durable as the Hydratac and Pro Tour. On the plus side the tackiness lasts for a long time indeed. Also they have a
good feel and

Comments: This grip is great if you have sweaty hands. My hands sweat just
sitting around in the middle of winter. Even though the grip may still
look new, I still have to change it every few days or it will eventually
start slipping. But save for Tournagrip, I haven't found anything that
can handle sweat like this grip does. But I can sweat through Tourna
leaving stains my leather undergrip (gross I know).�I don't have the
same problem with Supergrap. If your hands are sweaty, try Supergrap in
combo with Prince Grip Plus, you won't be sorry.��

amount of
tackiness. And it last more than the others I tried before.
From: Andre, 11/11
Comments: This is the grip I've been looking for! comfort, absorbency,
tackiness, and feel! And not forgetting to mention the price! Got it in
30 pack white. I used to use the Babolat Team and had to keep a small
towel in my pocket to wipe my grip occasionally, but with this, the
wipes a less often.
From: Mon, 11/11
Comments: This is the best overgrip. I tried Wilson and recently Gamma. I was very frustrated, my hands
are bit
sweaty but this overgrip has a feel for tackiness and bit softer. I loved it and highly recommended it. If you are looking
for softer,
tacky and longevity than look no further.
From: Raju, 101/12
Comments: It feels like a slightly thicker, but less tacky than the Wilson Pro overgrip. If you're looking to
buy the
"red" color, please note that it ends up looking pink after the overgrip is stretched.
From: Sam, 9/11
Comments: I have been playing with these overgrips in 100+ degree and 95% humidity of Dubai during
my vacation
and with the grip completely wet from my sweat, I still don't get any slips or turns of the racquet. Great tackiness,
longevity and
feel! These grips just proved themselves and I can honestly say that they are the first over-grip that work when
saturated. Way to go Yonex!

From: David. 6/11
Comments: Very nice overgrip. Can be compared to Pacific X-Tack or Dunlop Gecko-Tac, the 3 are very
similar to
each other. The tackiness of the Dunlop can't be topped but gets lost after 4 hours of playing under average
conditions. The
Pacific one keeps its tackiness for quite awhile but at the same time gets a little slippery. The good thing about the
Yonnex is
when you notice the loss of tac, (6 hours) it remains very absorbent for the following days. The other nice side effect is
that it
stretches when being wrapped but it's far longer than all the
other grips I've tested anyway. Can't compare this one to the Tourna
grip cause it's just a completely different kind of overgrip although
the Tourna isn't bad at all.
From: Simon. 6/11
Comments: Highly overrated grip. I bought this stuff with high hopes, but I was disappointed. It's an
okay grip, but
nowhere near what the reviews suggest. It loses its real tack after a day of playing and is a little tacky for the next week
before it
becomes unusable for me.
From: Peter, Il. 4/11
Comments: I recently went on a grip buying spree, I purchased the Head Supercomp, Prince Duro Pro +,
Babolat VS,
and the Yonex Super Grap. The Head Supercomp just didn't feel right to me, it didn't have the comfort I was looking for
in a grip,
the Prince Duro Pro + just didn't have any feel to it, the Babolat VS was slipping out of my hands. The grip I currently
use is the
Wilson Pro Overgrip, lately this grip has been giving me blisters. This grip is amazing, its tacky but also comfortable,
you have
plenty of feel, and its just an all around good grip!
From: Jaylen, Chaska, MN, USA, 02/11
Comments: Awesome overgrip. Good feel, absorbency, right amount of tack and softness, and has
With most overgrips I replace them when they get worn out. But with the Yonex Super Grap its different, they last so long I actually have to change them because they are too dirty, not because it is worn out!
I actually prefer the colored versions of this overgrip even though black looks best IMO, so that I can see when the grip it has gotten too dirty and needs replacing, otherwise with the black it could be filthy and I wouldn't know it, the grip itself would still play great!
This grip is very similar to the Wilson Pro Overgrip but the Wilson seems to feel a little thinner if you like that, has a slightly softer texture, and costs a small amount more. The Yonex has a better variety of colors though, including black and "dark" blue which is really more like a medium blue.
Highly Recommended

this grip or

Comments: I really like the feel of this overgrip, and it's somehow durable. But the thing I don't like is
how thin the
tapered end is. It makes me hold the racquet too low on the handle and it feels bad. Most overgrips have tapered ends
that are
twice or even three times thicker than the supergrap one. That's why when using this OG I have to start wrapping from
the thick
From: Ron, Lima, Peru. 07/10
Comments: I heard the reviews, and decided to try it: I have to give it to Yonex. I play almost every day
for about an
hour, sometimes two. The powder blue gets awfully dirty, but that's due to, oh, the laws of physics. ;) I'm just using a
racquet right now until I get one more suited to my game style, but even then the racquet never slips out of my hand as
long as I
remember the right grip for the right shot, and frankly that's what ought to happen. If this is slipping out of your hand,
it's one of
three things: your opponent, your grip, or your shot mechanics. I was a little nervous being a lefty, wanting to make
sure the grip
wrapped the right way for me (as some grips I have used simply defaulted to a more right-hand-friendly cut). Yonex
delivers. I
have not yet had a problem with rips, overlaps, or folding due to wrapping it for a lefty. I will say that after a few hours,
may become a slight issue (and by that, I mean you will feel as if you are going to get one, but don't). Even then, the
is never a problem, and with my last Head-brand grip I was losing the racquet just from playing for a half-hour. I
realize Head
grips are really not the most reliable, but Yonex was still a welcome change. Bottom line: I bought two more packs of
this stuff
just based on the first overgrip.
From: Michael, Riverside, CA, USA. 7/10
Comments: Heard a lot of good reviews from this overgrip so I decided to try it. I was very disappointed
with how
this overgrip felt. The grip felt like it could slip from your hands easily and did not have a good grip overall. It is
durable seeing as
how it hasn't torn up yet. I'm gonna stick with my Babolat VS grip for my overgrip.

It do
absorb sweat and the tacky feel is just perfect, not too tacky but tacky enough. And it is way more Durable and longer
than the
Tourna Grip. Got to get some of the Orange Color :)

Only bad thing is, if you have a light colored grip underneath the Yonex supergrap it'll get stained a diff color. I had a

From: Brenan, Falls Church, VA USA. 9/09
Comments: I use this for my Babolat pure drive, I love it, even though after breaking my racquet (I lost
by a point
it was a very important match) I love the grip, even though after using it for at least 3+hours
in training it starts to loose the "tacky" surface, the cushioning on the grip makes up for the
loss of tack, I would recommend this to anyone who sweats a lot and likes durability. I also
like this because of the climate I live in (Australia) It can get extremely hot on the court and I
usually sweat like a pig when it's over 30 degrees.
From: anon. Perth, WA, Australia 09/09
Comments: Most durable of all grips that I've used, Even when I'm sweating like crazy the grip performs
well unlike
the others which is important to me. Tacky at first then lose it pretty quick, but I actually kind of like it when it loses it.
A lot of
cushion as well, and the price is worth it.
From: Oliver, Virginia Beach, VA 09/09
Comments: Though it is 0.6 mm thick, it does not feel like it builds up your grip significantly. When first
put on, it
is very tacky and absorbs sweat amazingly. When the overgrip gets dirty though, you lose the tackiness. Then, it's time
to change
the overgrip or the racket starts twisting in your hand. I have tried Tourna grip, Babolat Pro Team Tacky, and Gamma
but none have compared to Yonex Supergrap. If you can buy a new pack of grips every month, this grip is for you.

added bonus!

added in it works great again. I'm going to get a new one today.

When I am done playing tennis, you'd probably think I just escaped from an exhibit in an aquarium. Before Super Grap,
I struggled
to control my racquet during long matches, especially on hot Florida days. While serving, my racquet would often fly
from my
slimy paws. Not with Super Grap. It stanches my perspiration mightily. I tried out Tournagrip, but it lasts about thirty
before it starts to fray and lose all comfort, tack, and absorbency. Super Grap maintains these qualities for many hours
of play.
Highly recommended.

Yonex's grips stay white much longer than any other grip I tried. I play 6 days a week for about 2 hours a day. One grip
has lasted
3 weeks and is still going strong. Plus this grip is cheap. Best grip in the world strongly suggest it.

hour. There

have dry
hands so I cannot tell you how absorbent they are.
From: Andrew, San Diego, CA, USA. 3/09
Comments: I switched from Babolat VS overgrip to this one. It gives me a better feel of the grip and has
a better
absorption, which is important in my case as my hands sweat really badly. I haven't tried Tourna Grips yet, but this one
works for
me very well so far.
From: Rafael, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. 2/09
Comments: This is my favorite grip. I first bought a pink pack because my dealer had a special price on
it (not even
the girls wanted the pink one). I sweat a lot on my hands and it absorbs great. The durability is just ok (I've tried some
Babolat...) but with the tackiness makes it the best deal.
PS: I still buy pink, it's like the bubble gum grip. :)

grip the
racquet is very unique.
From: Bakthan, Anaheim, CA. 1/09
Comments: Today I tried this overgrip (color white) for the first time. The reason why I decided to try it
in the first
place was that, after reading all the comments here, everyone says it's the best. Before today I was switching between
Tourna Grip
and Prince Mirco Tac. I thought Tourna Grip absorbed well, but was neither tacky nor durable. As for Prince, I thought
Mirco Tac
was both tacky and durable, but didn't absorb well. However, after trying Super Grap today, I agree---this stuff is the
best. It has
all the above things I was looking for, which are: very easy to wrap around, more than long enough to cover an entire
grip, tacky,
absorbent, and durable. Thanks to Yonex for a great product; thanks to TW for this customer feedback.

Comments: Great grip! I have used Babolat Symbio & Tourna Grip for a long time. I can only use the
Babolat for one
match and it starts to come apart, and the Tourna doesn't last much longer. I read the feedback on this one and
decided to try it. I
LOVE IT!!! I love the feel and I'm on my 3rd match and in the last set it started to come apart at the end of the last set.
So far, best
grip I have used. They have good feel and the right amount of tack and are not too thick...
From: Dennis, Burnsville, NC, USA. 9/08

Tourna Grips.
The Super Graps are much more durable, absorbent, and they have great feel. My hands get really sweaty when I play
tennis, but
with this overgrip, it seemed like the sweatier my hands were, the tackier it got. Two thumbs way up for this grip.
From: Jesse, Federal Way, WA, USA. 8/08
Comments: I initially was afraid that this grip might be too tacky, as I'm used to more absorbent grips.
However, I

your racquet
from slipping. Great price, too!
From: Kevin, White Plains, NY, USA. 7/08

From: Brandon, Bakersfield, CA, USA. 7/08
Comments: Best overgrip, period. no competition. It's thin, has just the right amount of tack, and is
great if your
hands get sweaty, which when the grip is wet, it seems to get tackier. Also comes in cool colors (I like the orange or
From: Michael, Downers Grove, IL, USA. 6/08
Comments: A really, really thick overgrip. Put it over a Gamma Replacement Grip, and I played fine, but it
gave me
the biggest blisters I've ever had, so I took it off and played only with the Gamma. Rather tacky, but the Prince Duratred
has a
similar feel and in my opinion is better. Not all it's cracked up to be.
From: Alex, Ventura, CA, USA. 6/08
Comments: Typical Yonex quality: Outstanding. Love their racquets; love their grips.
From: Jeffrey, Templeton, CA, USA. 6/08
Comments: This is the best grip I have ever played with. It stayed very tacky for a long time, and I was
very pleased.
From: Jack, Dallas, TX, USA. 6/08
Comments: This is an amazing overgrip! I bought the 30 pack and so far I have been using this grip for
about a
year now. I play tennis in high school so I play every day of my life practically. It is very tacky and a nice feel at first.
After about 2
or 3 days it loses the tackiness. It gets to be pretty comfortable, but if your hands sweat as much as mine your gonna
have to
change it every 2 or 3 weeks. All in all this grip has a very nice feel to it and I would recommend it to everyone who has
palms. Tourna Grip was OK but that wore off way faster than this grip! Buy it!
From: Larry, Cerritos, CA, USA. 5/08
Comments: Far and away the best overgrip on the market. Tackiness in perfect. Sweat absorption is
perfect, and
durability is second to none. What more do you want?
From: Ivo, Sydney, NSW, Australia. 4/08
Comments: The best grip you will ever buy! I loved the Prince Duratac because of its tacky feel, but it
wore away
and lost the tackiness very fast. That's when I tried this grip. It felt exactly the same but lasted forever! Buy this grip!
Buy it!
From: Daniel, Goldsboro, NC, USA. 1/08
Comments: This overgrip is so awesome! I love how it's comfortable for your hand and can absorb as
much sweat
as possible. It's very durable and doesn't dry out really fast. I recommend this to those who don't want to get blisters.
From: Christine, Garland, Texas, USA. 12/07
Comments: I first tried out this grip, and it was great. It wears out in about 1-2 months, depending on
how much
you sweat on your hands. It has a nice soft feel to it. It's also a little sticky. I would rate it a 4.5/5 just because of its
life span.
From: Terrance, South Pasadena, CA, United States. 12/07
Comments: I'll start off on a positive note. The grip has a nice long length so you can overlap generously
and still
reach the top without a problem. Now onto the bad sides. For me, this grip didn't maintain its tack for long. After
playing for a day
or two, the grip took on a velvety feel that I'm not too fond of. Secondly, the grip feels too cushioned. It gives off a very
synthetic feel. Overall, I don't really recommend this grip. However, it could go either way depending on the player. I'll
stick with
my Tourna Grips.
From: Bobby, Boston, MA, USA. 11/07
Comments: Love this stuff! I use it on my Yonex RDX 500 MP & haven't had any problems w/it coming
off during
play. Nice tacky feel. I don't agree w/the comments about blisters. I play a lot of tennis & am a hard hitter & haven't
had any
problems w/blisters (like some of the other comment here).
From: Jackie, Woodridge, IL, USA, 10/07
Comments: Just played my first match with this stuff today. Feels really good, and the tack, next to
none. And the
cobalt color, (deep blue here on TW), goes really well with my Pure Drive Plus from Babolat! good product, I recommend
it to
anyone who wants a tacky overgrip. A word of warning though, there is a time where the grip will give you blisters.
Take it easy
for a while, then when it starts to feel better, start getting serious, like Jesse from Tucson said.
From: Jase, Manhattan, NY, USA, 09/07
Comments: I play college tennis and this grip is the best I have come across. I was a Wilson pro-grip guy
for 5 years
and decided to give this a try after breaking a racket because it slipped out of my hand on a serve. It holds is tackiness
for a good
bit even after becoming dirty, I keep waiting for my racket to slip when the grip gets a little damp but I still seem to
have a good
grip. Much recommended over Wilson.
From: Lee, Montgomery, AL, USA, 09/07
Comments: Very good grip, great elasticity and comfort. When I ordered this, I was looking for a grip
to Wilson Pro Overgrip...Yonex Super Grap feels almost identical to the Pro OG, but it's black, so if you're searching for
a black
grip with comparable qualities of Wilson Pro this is it.
From: Anon, 07/07
Comments: This is the best grip I've used. I play 16 hours a week and this grip hasn't let me down yet.
These grips
are great for long matches and tournaments. I played with Tourna grip but my hands would always slip with Super Grap
this never
happens, definitely a must buy.
From: Anon. USA. 7/07
Comments: I tried this grip today for the first time, and from the moment I tried it I knew this was the
grip for me!
This grip absorbs moisture very well, and this suited me as I sweat a lot. The grip was not only moisture absorbing, but
it also had
lots of tackiness, and so with my strong forehand, the grip no longer slipped. I highly recommend this grip.
From: Markos, Athens, Greece. 5/07
Comments: Been using for several years now, I switched from tournagrip which frayed too quickly. The
feel, sweat
absorption, longevity, color, variety, & price...what else can you ask for in an overgrip but just to rip it! Happy Tennis!
From: Jake, Honolulu, HI, USA, 03/07
Comments:I've used everything from Babolat VS grips, Prince duratac but none of them can compare
with the
Super Grap. The Super Grap is the best grip I have ever touched. From the 1st touch the tackiness stuck to my hand
and the
comfort was overwhelming. I recommend it to all and I'm never letting this grip go
From: Martin, Sydney, Australia, 10/06
Comments: This is simply the best overgrip I've ever used. I find that white and yellow are the best
colors for
durability. Here in the tropics of Puerto Rico they last me about two weeks/12 hours of play. Buy these and you'll use
them until
you can't get on the court anymore!
From: Steve, San Juan, PR, USA. 10/06
Comments: Great overgrip, I have really sweaty hands and use to have the handle slip in my hands a lot.
solved with this product. I like that it comes in lots of colors, but white feels the best and lasts the longest. The first
time I
wrapped my Yonex rqs 11 it lasted for two weeks of play. Which is 10 days/2 hours a day. My whole family plays
tennis now and
we all use Yonex overgrips.
From: Ryan, Narragansett, RI, USA 08/06
Comments: This grip does get dirty like Wilson but last longer and is tackier than any other grip. The
Babolat VS
original absorbs a lot but is not anywhere near as tacky as the Super Grap. I have really sweaty hands and I live in very
conditions. Best grip out there for sure.
From: Blake, Martinsville, IN, USA 08/06
Comments: Easily my favorite overgrip, slightly better than Wilson Pro and much preferred to Tourna
grip. It has
better durability than both, and much more tack than the Tourna grip. By far the tackiest thing I've ever used (I have
blisters from it). To prevent blisters, I usually take it easy the first 30 minutes I use it, then it mellows out and performs
consistently until it's worn through.
From: Jesse, Tucson, AZ, USA 08/06
Comments: Great. Feels very similar to the Gamma overgrips. If you like the feel of tacky overgrips, and
don't like
Tourna Grip, then this is for you.
From: Ryan, Ellicott City, MD, USA 07/06
Comments: My hands don't get sweaty during play at all, very SOFT grip. It feels very nice in hand, not
too tacky.
From: Bill, Iowa City, IA, USA 07/06
Comments: This grip was really amazing, I played a match with it and it felt really comfortable and not
too tacky
like some grips I have had. This is the best grip on the market without a doubt.
From: Zack 06/06
Comments: This grip used to be much better when it first came out on the market. When it got
popular, they changed the product into a grip that is no different than the Prince or Wilson "tacky" overgrip.
From: Drew M., Miami Beach, FL USA 6/06
Comments: This grip is quite possibly the best grip out there if you have very sweaty hands. My
daughter's hands sweat heavily during play and we have tried every overgrip out there to combat this problem
for her. The Yonex grip is the ONLY grip that works for her. It absorbs the sweat, yet stays tacky. Thumbs up for
this product!
From: Joyce, Indianapolis, IN, USA 05/06
Comments: Well, this grip is very nice, it is considerably thicker than others are but I like to feel like
I'm getting more for my money. It's very tacky in the beginning but as time goes on, it feels better in your hand,
it's pretty soft and absorbent
From: Thanat, Cottonwood, AZ, USA 05/06
Comments: I tried this grip out after reading all the great reviews about it. After using the grip I was
greatly DISAPPOINTED. Initially, the grip had good tack, and it felt good. But after playing with it for an hour or
so, I got blisters. This is the first time I have ever gotten blisters using an overgrip. I just took this grip off and put
the Wilson pro overgrip on; in my view, the pro overgrip is more comfortable, has more tack. Wilson pro
overgrip is the best. I don't like the super grap or the tourna grip.
From: Mike, Atlanta, GA 04/06
Comments: This is a very good overgrip! Tacky, also when wet, yet providing some (not too much)
cushioning. Good durability and generous length. Simply a pleasant acquaintance!
From: Jonas, Sweden 04/06
Comments: This is a great grip, one of the best grips on the market. It has a tacky feel and a good
amount of durability. But it does seem to get dirty quite quickly.
From: Ash, Sydney, NSW, Australia. 3/06
Comments: If you are not a fan of the dryness of tournagrip, then this is the perfect grip. I previously
used Wilson Pro Grip, but one day my coach let me try one of these grips and since then, I have never looked
back. This grip has got it all. It has just the right amount of tackiness, it is soft and extremely comfortable
(especially with leather grips) and it has good durability. It's the best grip out there!
From: Shahin, Saratoga, CA, USA. 2/06
Comments: All I can say that Yonex Supergrap is the best grip
out there. The grip has great feel and tackiness when applied over
leather replacement grip. It has more stickier feel and tackiness than
other leading grips such as Wilson Pro and Tourna grip. The blue color is my favorite. Also looks better when
applied over my
Wilson ProStaff 6.0 85. I highly recommend it.
From: Edvin, Boston, MA, USA. 12/05
Comments: This is an excellent grip. It really optimizes your performance is has great feel for
perfect control. I
strongly recommend this grip to anyone looking for a better game.
From: Garren, Yokosuka, Japan. 10/05
Comments: I really like this grip since it's very tacky and it lasts a long time. Also it comes in
different colors. I am
lately playing in clay courts, and though the light color grips get dirty pretty easily, they don't seem to change
color too much or
lose tackiness. Currently they are my favorite overgrips for sure.
From: Virgilio, Italy. 10/05
Comments: These grips are great; they're just like the Wilson pro overgrip.
Unlike the Wilson pro overgrip it comes
other colors too. The only downside of this overgrip is that it isn't as durable as the Wilson
From: Dustin, Garden Grove, CA, USA
Comments: I have used these for over 6 months and they are the best - in
comparison to Tournagrip, Wilson pro and Volkl. The surface provides a cushioned feel and
prevents slip. They last at least a month (unless you use white, which gets dirty easily).
Check out the colours this comes in!!
From: KV, Lubbock, TX USA 07/05
Comments: I just bought this overgrip and it is great! I used every other brand
and all the popular overgrips like Wilson Pro, Tourna Grip, Gamma and Prince. This is
smooth but tacky and very durable and absorbent. You get the best of all overgrips in the
Yonex Super Grap. Thanks Yonex for the overgrip and all the cool colors!!
From: Bob Conley, Memphis, TN, USA 07/05
Comments: Thank you for these grips, Tennis Warehouse! They are the best I
have ever tried. They are easy to put on my racquet, and last a long time. I used to use
Wilson Pro overgrip, but the Yonex Supergrap are so much better because they last so much
longer and don't get that grayish look after 2 days of playing. Also I love the price. 3 grips for
3 bucks is amazing compared to most other grips! Thanks again TW!
From: Geoff Walden, Cortlandt Manor, NY. USA 7/05
Comments: Oh yeah! The very best overgrip in the world! It's very tacky and has a
perfect durability.
From: Fabian, Augsburg, Germany, 06/05
Comments: This grip strikes a balance between the factors that affect overgrip
performance. Comfort is unparalleled. Thin, as to not build up the grip too much and hinder
grip application, but thick enough for an above average durability. Tack is just right after a
couple plays, and the feel is smooth, but inexplicably different from other smooth grips, such
as the Gamma Supreme or the Prince Microzorb. Also, this grip is double-sided; a
one-handed player can get 4 uses out of it. While I still prefer the slightly coarse, tacky, and
sufficiently smooth surface of Tourna Grip High Tack, this overgrip is still an excellent choice.
From: Doug, CA, USA 06/05
Comments: I really like how cheap the grip is. Usually I go out and purchase
one for 5 dollars. The shipping is GREAT! SUPER FAST, I received it within 2 days! I
definitely will buy from tennis warehouse again! Thank you so much for the grip!
From: Ben, San Leandro, CA, USA
Comments: This is great stuff does every thing good absorbency, tackiness and
durability. It's better than Wilson Pro grip because it is much more durable. This and Wilson
H20vergrip are the best grips in my opinion. Also I like the variety of colors that it comes in,
always good to match the grips with racquet.
Used on a Wilson nCode 6.1 95.
From: Jordan, KS, USA. 05/05
Comments: The best hands down. I tried all different kinds and they did not last
but a week. Then I tried this and now I stand beside it.
From: Jason, Houston TX, USA. 04/05
Comments: I have tried several different overgrips, and this one is the best. As
far as sweat absorbency and comfort goes,
the Yonex Super Grap beats all other overgrips.
From: Richard, FL, USA. 03/05
Comments: I've played with several different overgrips. None have ever matched
the super grap. I like it a lot because it is
kind of tacky but not too much. I live in south Louisiana and this grip lasted a long time. I
suggest you buy one right now.
From: Cody, Patterson, La. USA. 03/05
Comments: It's the best grip, and I've tried many. Very comfortable and last very
long. Highly recommended.
From: Leon, CT, USA. 02/05
Comments: For now, this overgrip is my favorite. I tried a couple others, but I like
the texture and feel of this grip the most. Also I like the variety of colors that it comes in. I have
tried the Wilson Pro Overgrip, Babolat Syntec, Prince MicroZorb, Tournagrip and others, but
this grip seems to be the best. It is very durable, comfortable, and absorbent. It has a little bit
of a tacky feel, but it is not overly tacky, nor is it very slippery. This grip is the best I have tried
so far.
From: Chris, WA, USA. 8/04
Comments: This is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I've spent zillions of dollars on
overgrips, and I never really found one I liked. This one has everything! I love the tackiness,
it's sticky, but not too much so. The color selection is nice, and the durability is good
compared to other overgrips. The price is a really good value, as they come in packs of
three. I would, however, recommend the white color if you like tackiness, as it seems to be a
bit tackier and lasts a bit longer.
From: Tommy, Columbus, Ohio, USA. 08/04
Comments: I have been using this overwrap for about 2 years now after using
Tournagrip for 7 years before that. It is the best of everything. Tacky, even when wet. Last as
long as anything else. A little bit of cushion, easy to apply and can be used on either side.
One handers can also turn it upside down for four uses. The last time I ordered from TW,
any overgrip that said "tac/tack" I bought. Nothing came close to Super Grap. Forget Prince,
useless paper. Head was second, by a long, long margin. White and yellow are tackiest and
last longest.
From: John, Sudden Valley, WA, USA. 8/04
Comments: I used to use nothing but tournagrip. Now I'm a devoted Super Grap
user. I just wish I'd found this stuff sooner. It has excellent tack that lasts even in hot weather.
It also doesn't beat up my hands like tournagrip used to. Lasts long, too.
From: Phil, La Jolla, CA, USA. 6/04

Above reproach?December 30, 2009 by Tim McAdams
Commenting on my gross weight blog, Harold wrote:
"Leave the flying to he who is in the cockpit and the finger-pointing blogs to another publication please."
That got me thinking, when is it (if at all) appropriate to comment, criticize, or even intervene on another pilots actions or behavior? I understand and agree with Harold to a point, but I don't believe the complete answer is all that clear.
I have studied and written about helicopter accidents for many years. I think most of them have a lesson that can help us all be better pilots. I try to write about these in a way that states the facts without expressly passing judgment (gross weight included) and let the readers draw what they want from the situation. Believe me, I have made my share of mistakes but I have been lucky because they didn't result in an accident. I have viewed them as learning experiences, because had something been just a little different I might not have been so lucky. I like to tell people that I can't promise I won't make a mistake, but I can promise I won't make the same one twice. Having studied many accidents it is clear that there are no new accidents only the same ones repeated over and over, just in a different manner.
I also believe that simply being a licensed pilot does not make you above reproach. Listed below are three examples of pilot behavior that other people knew was dangerous. A link to the complete NTSB report is included because all the details can't be listed here.
A pilot flying a news helicopter was well known as a hotdog and the photographer riding with him had expressed concern. His last radio transmission was "watch this" as he pulled the helicopter vertical and severed the tail boom killing himself and the photographer.
A very experienced tour pilot flying in the Grand Canyon was well known for being a skilled pilot and for his aggressive flying. He had earned the nickname "Kamikaze." At high density altitude he slammed into a canyon wall killing himself and six passengers.
A pilot continued to fail phase checks, check rides, and pre-employment rides. He eventually got a job where his flight skills were not evaluated prior to being hired. He crashed an R22 killing himself and a passenger on an introductory flight.
I really appreciate all the professional comments that people post. So if this subject interests you please take the time to read all the details and let us all know your thoughts. I believe that approaching this topic in the correct way can be a powerful learning tool for those so inclined to listen.
My intent is not to point fingers but to get pilots thinking about how easily an accident can happen. I know that reviewing accidents has helped me be a better pilot. However, I am very curious if other pilots find this helpful.
One final thought. I have been involved as an expert witness for helicopter accident cases in court and believe me the intense scrutiny pilots endure is not pleasant. Seeing that has given me another reason to believe that being ultra conservative to avoid an accident is well worth it.

Rational exponents
Exponents are always used in mathematical expressions. Exponents tells us how many times a number is multiplied to itself, like if we were ask to solved , this would be just mean to multiply 5 to itself seven times. In the given expression m 5 is the base, and 7 is the exponent. Through the help of exponents calculator you could easily compute the solution by just plugging in the given numbers. Buy If you were given to evaluate, or an expression that would involve more exponents, it would be best to acquaint yourself with the exponent rules. These rules would guide us in simplifying expressions that contains exponents.
There a lot of different rules like the product rule where the exponents are added to each other provided that the bases are the same. Then, there is the quotient rule which states that if the bases are divided with each other you can just subtract the exponents, provided again that the bases are the same. There is also the power rule, where a base and an exponent are raised to another exponent where you would only need to multiply the exponents. Lastly, we would also look at the negative exponent rule which suggests that any base raised to a negative exponent will basically mean that you need to divide the base by the number denoted by the exponent. Each of the sections of this chapter will discuss each rule in depth and session 7 will be teaching us to integrate these rules and combine them all together. There's also going to be a formula sheet for the exponent rules for you to easily understand and remember them.
This chapter would also discuss scientific notation, a technique used to express very large or very small numbers through the use of the base 10, raised to an exponent. We would also be converting rational exponents into radical exponents and vice versa and solving problems that involve exponents.
Rational exponents
Basic concepts:
- Evaluating and simplifying radicals
- Converting radicals to mixed radicals
- Converting radicals to entire radicals
- Combining the exponent rules
Write the following in the radical form
Write the answer with positive exponents and then as entire radical
Write the answer as a power and evaluate

Whether you are a conservationist or a proponent of "clean coal," there is one irrefutable fact about the state of our shores and waterways: They are absolutely filthy with man-made refuse. Though most is not deliberate, trash finds its way to our beaches, waterways and oceans at an alarming rate, causing damage to ecosystems, killing marine life and creating huge garbage patches in the world's great oceanic gyres that are nearly unfathomable in size and scope. In the age of plastics, the impact of trash is long lasting, and the damage we are just now beginning to witness is the very tip of a gigantic iceberg.
It is easy to sit here and lecture, warn of the eminent danger and rail against the plastics industry, cavalier "throw-away" mentalities and human consumption in general. It is another thing altogether to actually get up and do something about the mess, helping reverse the tide. The Ocean Conservancy, the world's largest organization focusing on the health of the marine environment, intends to do just that and will combat the oceanic pollution problem head-on September 15 for the twenty-seventh annual International Coastal Cleanup.
The world's largest one-day volunteer effort to clean up the marine ecosystems, International Coastal Cleanup is truly a worldwide affair, with 152 countries and locations cleaning nearly 145 million pounds of trash from the shores of lakes, streams, rivers and oceans in just one day per year (as of the 2011 report covering the 25 year span of 1985-2010). Every item collected at the participating locations, from the smallest cigarette butt to shopping carts, is recorded—a thoroughly mundane task, but these records help give scientists, researchers, manufacturers and public officials a better understanding of what kinds of manufactured items are making their way to the sea, impacting not only marine life and ecosystems but also human health and coastal economic viability. The Pew Environmental Group just released the study "Overfishing Strips Tens of Millions from Southeast Economy," which detailed the effects the fishing industry has had on the region between 2005-2009, from declining fish stocks to lost tourism dollars—and the moral is, our marine ecosystems are worth big bucks.

Though the International Coastal Cleanup is a global effort, Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful and plenty of local organizations are getting in on the "sea change" message. Here's a roundup of some of the local cleanup locations where you can pitch in and give back to our seas. For the registration form, look to the top of the story and click the hyperlink "Registration Form" for the PDF. Be sure to add the appropriate cleanup site and email to the volunteer coordinator heading up your specific location.
- The River Center, a program of the Loxahatchee River District, will be targeting the litter at Burt Reynolds Park, the surrounding waterways and islands with the help of Jupiter Outdoor Center. Volunteers will tackle the trash problem by kayak, stand-up paddleboard (limited free rentals from JOC) and foot from 8 a.m to noon. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a five-gallon container and gardening gloves for the deed. Preregister at firstname.lastname@example.com or 561-743-7123; tag Burt Reynolds Park for event site.
- The Loxahatchee River District continues the good deeds as it tackles Jupiter Sound with the help of Jupiter Pointe Paddling. Kayakers, stand-up paddleboarders and nonpaddlers are welcome (Jupiter Pointe Paddling will have a limited supply of stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for those who don't have their own) to join the cleanup from 8 a.m. to noon. Preregister at firstname.lastname@example.com or 561-743-7123; tag Jupiter Sound for Event Site on the registration form.
- From 8-10 a.m., the Sandoway House Nature Center will hit the beaches of Delray Beach and Sandoway Park.

Never saw this win coming. No Kyrie, no problem. Sessions stepped up with a monster game and Boobie got back just in time. The trade offers for Sessions just got a little richer.
Casspi is being slowly but surely being phased out as Gee just keeps producing. You can see his confidence growing. And no sign of Hollins tonight. They went with Samuels as I expected.
Jamison had a great game after getting 25 points last night in Miami. At age 35 I didn't think he had two good back-to-back games in him but he was huge tonight. In addition to his offense he was guarding Griffin most of the time. Without Irving the Cavs were missing a scorer so Jamison had to step up.
Varajao did it all as usual, including hitting a 15-foot jumper as the shot clock expired and the Cavs leading by two in the final minute. It was like that time Z won a game with a 3-pointer when he had no choice but to put it up.
I listened to the Clippers feed and it was very entertaining. The Clippers announcers assumed it would be an easy win. About the 2nd quarter they expressed surprise that the Cavs were still close and cautioned the Clippers about letting the Cavs "hang around". They were in shock when the Cavs built a 15-point lead in the 3rd quarter. When it became clear the Cavs would win they talked about how this loss hurt more than getting blown out at home by Denver. Talk about no respect. You'd think the Clippers had just lost to a 2-20 team.
Awesome and totally unexpected win for Byron Scott and the Cavs.
