Hey guys,

Just wondering how long a handle wrap will last each of you experienced players. I have a couple of white Wilson Pro overgrips, some black Wilson Ultra overgrips, and I just got 4 Foosball.com handle wraps yesterday.

Currently I have 6 of the black Wilson overgrips on my table at home along with 2 of the white Wilson overgrips. The white ones felt better initially but they got really dirty and seemed to lose their tackiness pretty quick. I plan to wait until these Wilson grips are all done for then replace them with Foosball.com wraps.

Any experiences with washing or cleaning them? I tried to search but came up empty handed on this stuff.

Thanks everyone!

I use Pro's Pro wraps (from uk EBAY) and find them good for about 300 hours or so.  I don't bother washing them as by the time they're due for replacement, they've deteriorated beyond washing.  Since I use a cut off from an old bicycle tire to secure them in place, the wraps get dirty pretty fast so I don't bother to wash them (they'll just get dirty again quick).

Right on. Thanks for the info! So I'll just have to get used to these Wilson wraps loosing some of their tackiness pretty quick, but I should be able to get a lot more our of them than I thought.

Anyone else willing to post up some experiences with wraps? Anyone use the Foosball.com wraps that are sold on this site? I was planning to wait until these Wilson wraps were done to try them out but 300 hours of use is a long time, especially since my table only sees a couple hours of real use a week and the rest is just me practicing a few passes and snake shots.

I prefer MasterWrap.  The Ultra-Sticky 0.6mm wrap is indeed very sticky.  I can't say exactly how many hours it lasts, but its long enough.  Unlike some other grips, they are designed specifically for foosball.
