Daily Tip: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 5
New to these giant software releases and wondering how to upgrade your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 5? Luckily iTunes makes the process of upgrading painless. The best part is once you're on iOS 5 you can start to receive OTA updates and you'll never have to fuss with cables and computers again.
For now though, where you're ready to update to iOS 5, here's what you need to do:
- Plug your current iPhone into your computer and open iTunes. Your phone should start to sync and backup automagically.
- If it doesn't start to sync automatically, click the Sync button in order to back up your device. (You can alternately right click your device name in the navigation bar and click back up as well. Either way will work just fine.)
- iTunes may prompt you that an update is available. If it does just click update after you've backed up your device (iTunes will also prompt you to back up if you haven't already.)
- If it doesn't, click Check for Update under the Version section.
- The new software will start to download and then install. Your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad will restart. Don't worry about it. Let iTunes do it's thing and update your device to iOS 5.
- Once it's done updating, iTunes should prompt you to do one of two things - set up as a new device or restore from a backup. Choose to restore from a backup and select the backup you just made.
- Once the restore is done your device will reboot. When iTunes detects it again it will start to sync back any apps and games your old iPhone had installed.
After you've done the initial manual update to iOS 5 you'll have the option to use iCloud backups in the future. Do it. It's free and it just works.
If you have any questions or have issues, check out our TiPb Forums for all the help you could ever need!

Daily Tip: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 5
the early iTunes 10.5 update allowed me to get the iOS 5 GM on my iphone a day early. waiting for the restore to finish, but everything is looking good so far.
@Allyson, could help me? My iTunes wont let me back up my iphone since long time ago. The botton simply doesnt show up
Don't look like it's going to happen until morning. It's 12:00 am pacific and still only 4.3.5 available
This article says apple will release it october 12 at midnight, which is now right?
Quick Question...
I'm selling my 3GS which was running 4.3.5 and getting the 4S on Friday.
I've done a backup and restore and setup as new on my 3GS and am sending it in the post tomorrow.
Question is-when i plug my new 4S into my iTunes-will i try to restore from my 4.3.5 software or rather import all my settings into ios 5?
It was a royal pain to upgrade. I had to update iTunes first on my windows XP PC. Then it wouldn't sync with my iPhone without any upgrade.
Then I rebooted. OK now it will back up but it won't upgrade. Finally I reboot a second time. Now it will upgrade my iPad (original) but my iPhone fails to upgrade.
One more reboot and I can upgrade my iPhone.
What a pain!
I am new to the Jail Break thing and was wondering if theres an article outlining a break down of pros/cons for jail breaking verses not jail breaking or if someone would be so kind as to send me a detailed email explaining this to me I would greatly be Thankful. I also have some other questions if someone would be so willing to take the time. I am a recently disablked USMC Vet home from the war and purchased 3 months ago all IPhone4 for my family as a treat. Thank you I can be reached directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or IM on yahoo MEcentricus Thank you so much for your help.
it says its taking 6 hours to download the software update, not sync it but download it.. is that right? or supposed to be like that..?
Doesn't work for me. iPhone tries to do a "backup" that never completes from my PC version of iTunes when attempting the iOS 5.0 update and it therefore never makes it to the new version 5.0 update itself. This is even the case after I manually force it to do a backup, which seems to complete quickly when its the only thing running. But when invoked during the update function, it hangs up and my CPU max'es out, even though its a new AMD Athlon II processor (less than a year old). Not sure what's up with this... Everything else seems to work fine and the diagnostics says everything is okay.
Will I lose all the progress in the games that are synced back (like if I am on level 23 of a game, will i have to start over from level 1?)

Installed on my ''03 Mustang. These are beautiful lights...the best looking halos I''ve seen for the new edge Mustang. I''m a little concerned about the durability, so I have my fingers crossed.
Current Mods:
Got my grill today, Great fit, Looks even better than I expected!
The shipping was fast and the price unbeatable!
I will definitely shop LM again.
Current Mods:
Lights, Grill, Rancho shocks, Nitto tires.
Install was easy and the instructions were clear. Pre-wired halos would have been nice, but not a difficult task when following the included instructions.
The new clear lenses really make the car look much better than the 9 year old faded lenses. And the halo design gives the car a great look, once the sun goes down. (You cant see the halo lights in the daytime like others I''ve seen. No big deal).
I really like the LED driving lights. A nice extra that was included with the light set. Really make the car visible on the road in daytime.
The bulbs in the projector lights leave room for improvement. Think I''ll try to find better bulbs that don''t look so "filament" colored. something a little more on the white to blue range instead of the old light look. Also, the headlight bleeds into the marker light strip and takes away from the amber brow, which looks good above the halos when the headlights are off.
Overall, satisfied with the look for the price. Gives my RSX a unique look and good bye to those faded old lenses.
Current Mods:
Only the new lights.

A RECENT UPDATE TO Ridgeland's transportation plan includes few big changes, but officials hope the plan will help them acquire federal transportation dollars if they ever become available.
"The transportation plan is something that's really aided us in obtaining federal funds. Sometimes [updating it] kind of corresponds with the new federal transportation bill," said Ridgeland Public Works Director Mike McCollum.

Comments: Good grip. It is very grippy at first but looses its grippiness after a match or two.
Comments: Love it. All I have to say is that there is plenty good reason Federer and several other top pros use this
one. Give it a try and see what you think!
Comments: This overgrip is amazing! I bought myself a Head Prestige S racquet when I started playing tennis last
year and at first the racquet felt very unremarkable, but then my coach put this over grip on and I was stunned by how much
better the racquet felt immediately -- it was as if I was playing with a completely different much better racquet. I play 4 different
racquet sports and always prefer to keep my equipment vanilla and concentrate on technique, but I'm afraid I can't resist using
this over grip now for as long as I play tennis.
Comments: After using Tourna grip and Yonex Super Grap I have finally gotten a chance to use Wilson Pro Overgrip
and it is truly amazing. I used Super Grap for a week and it's a good absorber and has good tackiness but it doesn't have a good
feel. I then switched to Tourna Grip and it has great absorbency and good feel but the decent amount of tackiness it had wore off
in 2 days. Then I ordered Wilson Pro. I'll be honest, I was hesitant to buy this grip because I heard it was similar to Super Grap. But
the second I held the racquet with the Wilson pro overgrip I was extremely surprised. It has the perfect amount of tack, amazing
out of this world feel, perfect thinness, and it has more than enough length to cover my handle. I got it in the pink color and it
looks bright! If I were you I'd buy this grip in bulk. Preferably in the 60 pack bucket because of the variety of colors and the fact
that if you buy 60 grips separately it would cost you about 120 dollars. In a sentence summary I absolutely love this grip and it's
going to be the my grip of choice for years to come.
Comments: As a stringer, these are the best over grips. I use them for my own racquets. I suggest using an
overgrip to most of my clients. Easy to wrap. Provides good feel and grip. While I've tried and have others, these are my go-to
when someone wants an overgrip unless they make a specific request for another.
Comments: I guess these are the standard you compare other grips to. Right now I'm experimenting with overgrips
and you should probably do the same. I tried the perforated overgrips but they are a little too thin and don't hold up well, good
feel though. With the warmer weather, I've been trying the Advantage overgrip and I'm happy the way they absorb sweat. That
said, the Pro Overgrip seems to have just the right amount of tackiness and cushion and they last forever. I change them when
they start to turn black or I want a different color. If I could only have one overgrip, this would be it.
Comments: I haven't tried all the overgrips available but I can say this one works very well. In fact, I thought I'd
save a little money by buying the Yonex overgrips but was very disappointed when compared to the Wilson Pro overgrips. They
may look the same but there's no comparison to the gripping action you get with the Wilson product over its useful life. Some
may complain that the white color gets dirty but for me it's a signal that it's probably time to change the overgrip to make sure I
get the best playing results.
Comments: It is simply the best grip in the world. It's tacky, yet is still feels smooth in your hand. The grip always
stays in place and it never slips. The white color does tend to get dirty though. But overall, this is the most incredible grip I've ever
Comments: It's important to note that this overgrip is long enough to easily cover an entire handle.
Comments: I really like this overgrip. It's very tacky at first, but becomes softer and less tacky as you keep using it.
The grip stays very consistent for me. Downsides to this overgrip is that it tends to slip in my not sweaty hands and that the grip
is very easy to break (one drop of the racket and the top layer begins to come off).
Comments: I love the Wilson Pro Overgrip. I've been using it for years and haven't been able to find anything else
that's better (until now). Wilson, if you're listening, please redo the overgrips so that the "A" and "B" sides are exactly the same. I
get about a month out of my overgrips before I have to replace them. I know we're only talking about a dollar per wrap, but money
is money, going through overgrips all of the time is bad on the wallet and bad for the environment. I tried flipping the overgrip
just to see if I could get another month or two using the "B" side. No luck. The "B" side feels very papery, clothy and doesn't
provide the same tackiness that the "A" side gives. I'm sure there is another layer of chemicals that added to the "A" side of the
overgrip to give it the right amount of stickiness and tacky feel, please do this to both sides! I've switched to the Yonex Super
Grap overgrip because both sides feel the same. After a month or two, I unwrap my Yonex super grap and flip it over and re-wrap,
no loss of feel or tackiness. The "B" side of the Yonex feels the same (or very, very close) as the new "A" side when I first wrap my
grips. This gives twice the life with my Yonex overgrips than any of the overgrips out there - with the same costs. I'm on the
Yonex bandwagon for now because I get more life out of my overgrips, less waste and saving twice as much money since I don't
replace the entire overgrip as frequently. There's simply no excuse a huge company like Wilson can't manufacture their overgrips
with the same feel on both sides for their top-of-line overgrip. We're not pros who get restrings, regrips, rewraps after every
match - helps us out.
Comments: I officially love these grips. I have to replace them every week or so but they still last longer than most
over grips. I play about 20 hours a week. The grips are really tacky and feel great.
Comments: This grip is really high quality stuff. Place it over a leather grip and perfection in a hand. However, the
grip isn't perfect. After long hours of playing with the overgrip, the overgrip apparently shrinks and becomes close to the same
size as the grip once was without an overgrip. Just like used and worn out overgrips, it eventually loses it's grippy-ness, and when
that occurs, it's awful. At one point when trying to swing, my eastern forehand after making impact with the ball comes close to a
full semiwestern edging the full western grip. Just remember to change overgrips after several matches with it on.
Comments: Count me as a convert. Tournagrip can't be beaten for absorption, but I realized after trying this grip
that Tournagrip has no "feel" to it. This grip is comfortable, has some cushion to it and just feels great and more connected to
your hand than an absorption-only grip.
Comments: Best grip ever. My original grip on my racquet was leather! I hated it so much till I got
Wilson Pro Overgrip. I love it! I have a brother that plays as well! Overall best grip ever and I am going to use it for a
Comments: Great grip! It's got a ton of tack but not too much. My favorite aspect is the comfort and feel
and it feels great in the hand. I choose this over my old tourna grip any day.
Comments: I have used this for many years and the Wilson is far better than any other one that I have
tried so far. It
is tackier and more durable and softer too. Wilson is more durable and softer and doesn't get bubbles when wrapping
around the
handle. I am a 3.5 player with a very sweaty hand and play everyday.
Comments: I think these grips are amazing especially for people that don't get very
sweaty hands during a match. Other grips that are more absorbent tend to get
shredded by my hands too quickly, dry my hands out, encourage blisters/callouses,
and never really feel particularly secure in my hand. These are definitely geared to
being tacky from the get-go and don't give me the problems more absorbant
overgrips do. I like wrapping these fairly thick at the beginning and thinning it out
the rest of the way for a great combination of shock absorption at the palm and feel
in your fingers, and I use up the entirety of it with a little trimming on a standard
length grip, so it's really easy to be consistent. They probably could last me longer
than I use them for (maybe about 15 hours), but having great feel is worth the small
Comments: I am very disappointed with this grip. The absorbency is sub par and the tackiness is lacking.
The grip
deteriorates quickly and starts to fray after 3 days of use. Ironically, the perforated version of this grip is fantastic and
does not
have these problems. If you are looking for a better option with similar feel, try the perforated version.
Comments: This is a fair overgrip. The tack is great, the feel is pretty decent, thinness is useful, but the
is ghastly, as would be expected from a feel-oriented overgrip. The absorbency was a bit of a downer, but a wristband
helps to
stop the sweat from running down onto your hand as much. The feel is good, but as soon as I felt some other
overgrips, it
paled in comparison. All in all, good overgrip. The only problem is the absorbency.
Comments: I switched to Yonex after many years of using this Wilson grip. It used to last a while;
however, in the
last couple years, they either changed the manufacturer or the material. It is still comfortable to use, but breaks up in
two hours.
It's very disappointing!
Comments: Best grip so far for me. I've been using this grip for 12 years. White definitely will get dirty
but so what?
I need the comfort of the grip so why not just change it
every 2 months or whenever I feel like it is dirty. Best grip 10/10.
Comments: This overgrip lasts so much longer than other ones I have tried. Many grips except Yonex
Grap, the
white color gets dirty quickly. The deal for 30 packs for best price per overgrip.
Comments: This is a great high quality over grip. I have been using these for a while and I have not
found anything
better. It is pretty tacky so the racquet stays in your hand. For me they only last about 8 hours before I need to replace
so I go
through 2 or 3 a week. My hands sweat a lot and after a few hours play the grip becomes a little slippery. The white
grip gets very
dirty quickly but the grip still works great. For people like me who sweat a lot you will need to replace often. For people
like my
friends who have dry hands these will last forever.
Comments: This is a good grip. If you put it on correctly it will last. It does get dirty because it is in
white. I sweat a
lot and it seems like it still holds. I have an aggressive swing and this grip holds pretty true. I train and play tennis
everyday for
about 6 hours and I have to change the grip maybe every 4-5 days.
Comments: This really is the best. I am not someone who sweats a lot. I do live in So Cal. and these
overgrips last
forever. For me, they stay tacky and I have never shredded one. If you take care of your things, and treat the game and
equipment well, these are the best. I used to teach and work in pro shops, I really feel if you want a nice soft, tacky feel,
these are
number #1. Add a leather grip with a Wilson Pro Overgrip and you're good.
Comments: If you want to feel like Roger, buy this grip. It is very durable and soft, but it gets dirty
Comments: Yes, best grip I have ever used. Have used it for the last 5 years. Love the way it feels and
great grip
control. Keep coming back to it because nothing feels as good.
Comments: Best overgrip on the market. Good price, good length (So I'm not forced to over stretch the
because it's too short like Tourna-grip). Good feel. I recommend this grip to everyone.
Comments: This is an awesome overgrip. It is thin, has a soft texture, and is VERY durable. I suspect
the high level
of durability may be why Wilson does not offer this grip in Black or any dark colors, because if they did, it is so durable
people might just keep using it and not buy replacements for a long time. This grip is very similar to the Yonex Super
overgrip. I like the feel/texture of the Wilson slightly more than the Yonex, although they are very similar. The Yonex
seems to
be more absorbent though, and slightly thicker (slightly cheaper too). Having recently switched to leather grips, where
absorbency is more important and a little more cushioning helps, I think I'll stick to the Yonex. My main gripe about
the Wilson
grips is having to choose between white or funky colors. I don't believe in using disgustingly filthy old grips and I
replace when
they are dirty, but the white starts to look terribly dirty so quick I just want to toss it out and I end up replacing way too
Comments: The grip looks great when first put on, then is filthy within 10 minutes of use (no longer
white and nice
looking!). The grip has a nice tacky feel for about 20 minutes until you begin sweating. This grip becomes so slick with
any sweat
and loses all of its initial tack within minutes. I suggest buying Tourna Grip if you want no slippage even though it's not
the most
attractive, but as much as I like to look good and match my equipment, I rather have a grip that performs and allows
me to keep
the racquet secure in my hand. This grip is a bust.
Comments: This grip rules, no doubt. It just has the right feel for me. I recently tried the Head Prestige
Pro Overgrip
and I did not like it one bit, had to come back to Wilson Pro Overgrip. It is totally worth the money and you should be
happy with
Comments: A little less sticky than the Yonex Grap, but it last way longer. It looks brand new after 2
days of tennis,
and it's still in pretty good shape after 10 games(3 weeks). I love the green color, and will get the orange and pink too.
Comments: New favorite overgrip! I used the gamma supreme overgrip since I started playing and this
grip is not
only cheaper, but it lasts longer, feels better, and is easier to wrap due to its length. I will be using this grip for the rest
of my
tennis career.
Comments: This lasts a long time and feels great, not rough or sand paperey like others were. I only use
these, and
about half of our hs tennis team uses them also. Great job, Wilson!
Comments: Wilson Pro overgrip is the best ever! I have used Ashaway overgrip, Babolat VS Team Orange
to Wilson
Profile white and grey and Wilson h2o overgrips. Overall very very comfortable on hands compared to Profile Overgrip
and last
longer compare to the Babolat vs overgrip. The green color does not damaging my original leather grip on my Wilson
k6.1.90. But
Babolat vs turns my white grip on my Wilson k6.1.95 team into orange color. Wilson h20 is suitable for those who
blistering. Thinking on to try Yonex Supergrap due to the positive comments. But after hitting several times with Pro
Overgrip, I
am confident that Pro Overgrip is my choice. Great overgrip and recommended to all.
Comments: These grips are great. They have the perfect thickness, perfect feel, and they take a long
time to wear
out or peel off. My only complaint is how quickly they get dirty, but hey, performance is more important than
cosmetics, in my
Comments: I have used the Neon Green overgrip and it is very comfortable when first put on. I do not
get blisters
with this one. Great overgrip overall.
Comments: Pro overgrip is the best grip ever. My hands get really sweaty every time I play. Durability=
11 stars. It
lasts a lot longer than Tourna Grip, which only lasts one day, at most. It never loses tack, even when its dirty. Also,
Federer uses it.
:) Pro Overgrip is awesome.
Comments: I LOVE this grip! However, I'm concerned that the white grip gets dirty fairly quickly. After
about 3
hours of match play, they turn a brownish color. Please make a black grip!!! Wilson...are you listening?
Comments: Has perfect tack for me. Not too thick not too thin. I don't sweat at all on my hands and this
grip works
fine. It's very durable, unlike Tourna Grip which rips on the second day. This grip and Yonex work the best.
Comments: Very nice comfortable grip. Haven't found anything that compares to it. Tourna grip is close
but I still
like this 1 better. Also I like how you can get it in a bunch of different colors unlike Tourna which only comes in that
weird blue
color. I find this grip has excellent feel and has just the right amount of tackiness. Love it.
Comments: This is the best grip ever. I've been using this grip for the last 2 years and what a difference
it has
made. My hands sweat like crazy and I seriously thought I would never be able to play tennis properly because every
time I made
contact with the ball my racquet would slip in my hand. So I had to hold on to my racquet with a death grip which
resulted with a
very sore arm. But with this grip, it has great tack even after I've sweated a monsoon on it I can still hold it with a
relaxed hand.
Comments: I love these grips; they are the best ever. I play 5 times a week and I don't have to replace
them for
about 3 to 4 weeks.
Comments: I don't see what many people are complaining about. I found it to be tacky, and even when
shredded it
still worked a lot better than TournaGrip, which lasted a set for me.. Sure, the Pro Grip gets dirty quickly, but who
cares? I have
used this grip inside and out, and used both ends. I can swing for the fences and my racquet will not fly out. True, I do
blisters, but ironically, they do not
hurt as much because I have the grip on. This is probably the best
overgrip out there - it is durable, tacky, and comfortable.
Comments: This is probably the best grip I've ever used. It is fairly absorbent and has the perfect
tackiness. The
only downside is that it doesn't last too long, but that might just be me and how much I play. Overall a great grip.
Comments: Well I go to IMG academy. I usually play close to 5 1/2 hours a day, and this grip is very
and has great tack. The only downside to this is that it doesn't last for too long, oh well. I would surely encourage
anyone to buy
this grip. 9.5 out of a solid 10.
Comments: My favourite grip. Akin to when Babolat brought out the revolutionary "Gripsy" in the '80s,
this grip is
soooo nice to touch and feels like no other. Lasts a long time, dries quickly, doesn't get dirty too much (of course white
will get
dirty-looking naturally, duh!). If you prefer a more "tacky" feeling grip then my next fav is the Yonex Super Grap.
Comments: I like the comfort and tack on this grip. But I think it tends to make my grip size a bit bigger,
makes it quite uncomfortable.
Comments: I am not going to deny that this is a great grip. However, it dries out quickly and causes you
to have
blisters--at least that is my case. For some odd reason, I used to sweat tremendously on my hands, but now I do
perhaps because of that this grip caused my whole hand to be FILLED with blisters.
Comments: Nice grip when you first use it. It's good but after one two maybe three hours of play it's
Comments: I won't buy anything else. These overgrips have come through for me time and time again.
I'm very
meticulous in the accessories I use on the court and these top my list. Great feel and tackiness. A+
Comments: I ordered a number of different types of overgrips to see which I liked the most; for me this
was the
one. The length of the wrap is very generous. It is soft but very tacky and felt my grip rarely slipping. It was so tacky it
gave me
blisters at first, but that is just a sign of it working to me. The only con might be the longevity of them, but that is nit
picking. I
got about a week of tennis out of one(reversing it as well).
Comments: This overgrip is great but there is only one bad thing s and that's the grip gets dirty quickly
and after it
feel hard on my racket. I recommend Wilson Pro Soft overgrip. =]
Comments:This grip is bad and is such a waste of money. I play on the ATP tour and when I tired this
grip I
completely lost my game. I had to really put some effort into the technique of my shots so my racquet wouldn't slip out
of my
grasp as the grip had no tackiness and was incredibly thick. It's the worst grip ever would not recommend buying it.
Instead, the
Babolat VS Original is a much better choice as it's easy to hold with only 0.4mm width.
Comments:I just decided to try these because my favorite grips, Tourna Grip II, were giving me really
bad blisters. I
went to play after putting it on and took it off almost immediately. It made my handle way too big for my hand. It was
very slick
and felt like it would fly out of my hand. I only played one game, then ripped it off and put a Tourna grip back on.
Blisters aside
the Tournas are way better.
Comments: This grip is very high quality as far as feel and tackiness. But unfortunately the high quality
feel does
not last long. My hands don't sweat at all and the grip seems to wear out between 3 and 5 hours of use. I would
recommend the
Gamma Supreme. It has the longest lasting feel EVER. and its cheaper.
Comments: It's the best grip I've ever used. The white ones get dirty very easy but compared to other
overgrips, the
Wilson is the best.
Comments: Really great grip feels really comfortable and really tacky GREAT BUY!
Comments: I ordered the orange overgrip and it doesn't look anything like the orange in the picture. It's
almost like
a bright orange/red and it seems like it's neon.
Comments: This grip has great tack and is very comfortable. I got it to cover my Wilson leather grip
which wasn't
the best.
Comments: I have used many different brands of overgrip and this Wilson one is the best of all of them.
It is
durable, tacky, and it is long enough to cover the whole grip. I've had problems with Babolat grip because they are too
thin and
too short. This grip absorbs sweat like a sponge. I give it a 9/10 just because white grip turns dirty. Overall, the best
grip out
Comments:I started using overgrips years ago when I first bought my first proper players racket to
improve my
game and I became defendant on these white grips, which are extraordinary. I still use them in white and I change mine
once a
month or so. The feel is always spot on and when it�s new, with new balls its sensational. I would have said its also
good with
fresh strings but I find fresh string jobs, especially considering half my strings are Luxilon (ace on crosses, gut on
mains), pretty
awful, as they take a few days to break in, and then everything is as I like it. Excellent grip and a compulsory extra to
my game.
Comments: This is a good grip, although it does not last very long at all. If you can buy a lot of these,
then you're in
good shape for these grips. At first, it feels very nice and tacky, but the problem is that it starts to slip in hot weather,
even if it's
not worn out!
Comments: Very very durable, the perfect amount of tack, and it feels great. The 12-pack is the most
convenient to
me. After every two weeks (15 hours of play), I usually take off the used one, and slap on another overgrip.
Comments: I've used this grip for many years and it's a great grip, but the problem with me using it is
that my hand
sweats a lot and this grip wears out easily. It slips after 3 hours of play and you have to keep changing grips every few
This is a good grip but beware that it will slip after a while.
Comments: It's very similar to Yonex Super Grap & a lot better than Tourna Grip. For me, it's well
balanced between
tacky & absorbent. You can't go wrong, probably the best overgrip there is.
Comments: I use this grip and its great, my favorite one! The only downside is that it doesn't last too
long, but it's
still my favorite grip. I always put a new one on for a USTA match and it works very well!
Comments: This is my preferred overgrip. It has the perfect blend of grip and tack. The only set back is
that if you
get white, they get dirty very easily. I usually change them every 2 to 3 times I play which is around 1 to 2 times a week
for me.
Overall definitely the best overgrip on the market.
Comments: This overgrip is awesome! I have used the Babolat overs and they are good but the Wilson
pro grips are
Comments: I use these grips, they are pretty durable, I play tournaments most every weekend, and they
last for all
my matches, then I have to regrip. But I recommend this for any player who is having racket slipping issues.
Comments: I use white grip, and it feels so great when you first put it on, and it holds really well!
Comments: Good tack and good feel but don't last very long. Wilson Pro feels identical to Yonex Super
Grap when
new but doesn't last as long as the Yonex.
Comments: I tried this grip. The white one was tackier. I tried the colored grips and they were very bad
after four
days, and my hand was slipping. I like the white grips.
Comments: Very tacky, not very durable. I like them better than the Babolat overgrips, though. Get the K
replacement grip, all of your problems will be solved.
Comments: Be careful if you go for the red ones, they look like the color of an eraser (pinkish) and not
Otherwise, good grip.
Comments: I re-grip my racket twice a day (even if I don't play that day) just because it's so fun to grip
rackets with
these grips. I love them!
Comments: I like the Wilson, but I still prefer Yonex Supergrap because it is a bit more durable.
Comments: I absolutely love this grip! It is just tacky enough to keep your hand from slipping from the
grip, but not so tacky that it gives you blisters. I really like the colors available (I use the pink). It lasts for quite some
time, but
then again the only real use it got from me was when the high school tennis season rolled around. Even so, it comes
Comments: This is the best grip you can find! This grip has the best feel, and the tackiness is perfect. If
complain about how easily this grip gets dirty, well what do you expect if you get a white grip? I highly recommend this
grip to all
kinds of players.
Comments: Excellent grip. Some may say that it's too tacky, but the effect is the near-eradication of
twisting even on mis-hits. A huge downside is that if your hands don't sweat at all like mine, chances are you'll end up
blisters. And that's what happened to me, so I switched back to the Wilson Pro Soft overgrip, which is a cushioned
Nevertheless, I would recommend the Wilson Pro overgrip to anyone looking to raise their game.
Comments: Awesome overgrip this is the only overgrip I use on my 3 head microgel radicals but I
recently wanted
to try a different color the orange and I don't like the orange it is more like a hot pink and it turned my white grip hot
pink so that
I didn't like I will just stick to the white and yellow color.
Comments: This is my favorite overgrip so far. Compared to Tourna Grip and Babolat, this is definitely
my grip of
choice. I got the white ones and personally don't care how dirty they get because they do the job very well. Kudos,
Wilson! I am a
3.5 who plays a healthy mix of singles and doubles for probably about 8 hours a week.
Comments: The tackiness of this grip is amazing! I don't play very often, only during the high school
season. I
agree with some of the other reviews that they do lose tackiness pretty fast. But it's awesome when you first put it on!
Comments: The Wilson overgrip is the best in the market. Has good absorption, tack, and it's thin. Great
for players
who want the maximum performance and no blisters. I definitely recommend it to everyone!
Comments: I got the white ones, and it turned dirty after around 2 hours of play. It still feels great, but it
gets dirty
way too easily.
Comments: I go to Evert Tennis Academy, and I play for 6 hours a day, and these grips last
at least 5 days and still work great.
Comments: I seriously thought this would be the best grip ever, but after just a few hits, it had already
lost its tack
and then within 5 days it was already shredded! I was hoping it would at least last a fortnight, but I play about 3 hours
of tennis a
day so I was probably expecting too much. Otherwise this is a great grip while it lasts, especially compared to the
Babolat XL grip.
Comments: This is the best overgrip I have ever used. It feels great on the palm, and your hand doesn't
slip at all.
Although it gets dirty quickly (the white), after 3-4 times using the racquet, it still feels like you just put it on. It is
incredibly soft
and my hands hardly ever feel sweaty. By far it's just the greatest grip.
Comments: This is the performance overgrip. I used it before but was too vain about how dirty it got.
Now that I
don't care as much, I love it again. It's very soft on the hands, but still holds on tight. Get some of this!
Comments: This grip is AMAZING. The durability is amazing compared to most over grips. It has that
new feel for
quite a while. Gets dirty but it's still tacky and absorbent. Got the whites ones which get dirty but that's why you can
the 30 packs.
If only Wilson came out with darker colors.
Comments: This grip has a nice feel to it. I got the white one, and it got dirty fast, but it didn't seem to
change the
Comments: Amazing. This is the most durable overgrip on the market. The first 5-10 times you play
with it it is
unbeatable. After that, it still is better than most overgrips. Highly recommended.
Comments: Overall amazing grip. I played Newcombe's for a week and my strings on my Dunlop 200g xl
before my grip started to tear. In my opinion, it's the best grip on the market.
Comments: I loved this grip the moment I started using them, and it looks awesome, too. It's about the
overgrip you can find. Even when you sweat a lot, it won't slip.
Comments: Overall, good grip. It has nice tack and comfort, but perhaps a little lacking in sweat
absorption. I
bought the white one, and it got dirty very quickly. Otherwise a good grip.
Comments: I have tried Tourna, Gamma, Yonex, and this grip. This is the best of all. I wish it had more
absorbency, but it has the best of any of those that I have tried. Do not even think about getting Gamma, they a terrible
from the
second your hand touches them, no absorbency at all, the grips are slick from the start. Tourna is probably second
best, and
Yonex is OK. My hands get really sweaty, so I have ranked these grips on absorbency. I really pay no attention to
tackiness. One
other factor I will comment on is that the length of the Tourna Grip is too short. The lengths on the other grips were
Comments: An excellent overgrip for those looking for something that can absorb. It is extremely
comfortable to
hold. I personally chose white, and it turns grey relatively fast. Even when it looks worn and torn, the performance is
relatively the
same and will last you for quite sometime. Overall, it's an excellent overgrip with a nice feel. It does its job of absorbing
Comments: This grip is great. It kind of adds a feeling of controlled power to my strokes. And I served
better with it
because of its tackiness. Felt like Rodger.
Comments: This is the best overgrip out there. I love this grip. I tried the head tacky overgrip and it feels
like a wet
banana peel when you sweat even a little bit. I was serving and the racket flew out of my hand with the Head tacky
overgrip. Just
because Academy doesn't carry the Wilson stuff anymore I bought that stuff. I just bought a 30 pack of Wilson overgrip.
It's the
best grip out there. You don't get blisters easily either. This gives exceptional feel.
Comments: Great overgrip, very durable and tacky (but not too much so). I have it in white, which does
get dirty
quickly, but that is true with white anything. Love them and would definitely but them again.
Comments: In comparison to the gold standard of overgrips, Tourna Grip, this is more of a tacky,
feel to it as opposed to a more cloth like feel from Tourna-grip. I find that the giant calluses I have on my hands from
tennis tear
up Tourna Grips, so I prefer these Wilson grips. Don't get it in white unless you want to replace it soon, because it will
look nasty
very soon.
Comments: This is currently the best grip on the market. It might be too spongy if you don't pull it
taught while
putting it on. I tend to wrap my overgrips very tight and I've found that it works very well. This grip holds its tack very
well, and
"wears" well, so sometimes I play with the same for two or three weeks at a time in the Southeast summer heat. This is
the best
all-around grip, and I encourage you to try it before you form your opinion on it.
Comments: This is the best overgrip out there. You have to wear it in a little bit, but after a few games,
it's perfect.
It doesn't get slick like the Tournagrip and lasts at least 3x as long. It's equally good in the cool air-conditioned indoor
courts as
it is in the 110' desert heat.
Comments: I tried this grip last night. After using it, I am surprised at all the positive feedback. It was
very spongy
and too sticky. I had a hard time with the slight grip changes I need to make while playing. For example, going from a
forehand grip to a continental volley was awkward since the grip was so spongy. Will not be using this grip again.
Comments: I agree that this grip feels almost identical to the Yonex Super Grab. I've used the Yonex for
years. Upon trying the Wilson, I've developed a very slight preference for it. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if the
same company
is manufacturing them with the exact same materials. So, I'd go with whichever one is cheaper and has the color you
Comments: It is a great grip. It feels good and doesn't slip. It does get dirty easily but its still works well
when it is.
This grip I would recommend to anyone.
Comments: Really nice feel for about 3 hours of play. Then it looses its feel and also gets dirty very fast.
I change
grips every 3-7 days. Best grip there is. Totally recommended
Comments: Best overgrip! The white looks great one my (K) Factor, but the one thing is it
wears out pretty quickly, but while it is still good it is amazing (never slips!)
Comments: Definitely a better over grip than the Tourna grip for me. I find the tackiness just right. I
really like
Comments: It really is as great overgrip but it starts to shred and thin out to fast. This is the only over
grip I've tried
so far but I am going to try the Babolat syntec over grips. These overgrips also get dirty within 45 minutes to an hour.
Comments: I bought this over-grip and Yonex Super Grip from Tennis Warehouse, and I found that they
identical. Even the black tapes are painted in exactly same color and material. The only difference is the company logo.
Both are
made in Indonesia. But on Yonex's box, it said, "Materials made in Japan, cut in Indonesia". I put Yonex in one of my
racquets and
Wilson in another, and I can't feel any difference. Then why would you pay more for Wilson? And I'm wondering why
Warehouse put Yonex Super and Wilson pro in different groups (Yonex Super in Tacky and Wilson Pro in Absorbent)?
They are
exactly the same ones!
Comments: This is the best overgrip for any racquet, especially
when it's used on leather grip handles with best feel and control when playing a one handed backhand. It does not slip
out even
when playing in hot weather conditions and it lasts a long time.
Comments: Best grip out there! The tackiness lasts a decent amount of time but the white grips get dirty
too easy. I
like this though because it softens the grip up and it is at its best. Must buy.
Comments: This is a great grip, I have been using it in tournaments all over the country and I personally
view it as a
must have for a constant tennis play. But, I would watch out for your grip size. I have known it to sometimes enhance
the size of
the grip depending on the original stock grip.
Comments: This is a fabulous grip I like Tourna grip but this is way better. My rating 10 being best is
Comments: I admit it, this is a good grip. I have been bouncing around between the Wilson Pro and the
Grip. I felt the Wilson grip to be too tacky when newly applied but 'dries' up after an hour of use (and keeps for days of
uses) to
achieve the perfect tackiness that Tourna Grip can't. Don't get me wrong, Tourna is a good overgrip also. I now have
two over grip
options depending on the playing conditions. Who's the winner? I am.
Comments: This grip lives up to all the hype. I finally tried it (although it was a pain due to my intense
dislike for
any product made by Wilson) and I can't believe how well it performs. It's everything I want; takes in all the moisture,
very tacky
(not too much though) and durable. True that the white ones get dirty easy (but they're white, what'd you expect?), I
found that
they actually feel better after they've been used for a set or two.
Comments: The tackiness mentioned on this page isn't excessive at all. It's actually perfect. Before I
bought this
overgrip, I was skeptical because of the comments that said this was too tacky. Turned out this was exactly what I
wanted. My
hands hardly sweat; I just needed an overgrip to increase my grip-size, so this grip is good for either type of hands--
dry and
Comments: This overgrip is excellent. The surface is a great balance between 'tacky' and 'soft'. The
and comfort is superb; not too thin yet not too 'mushy'. Durability is also excellent. Plenty of finishing tape is provided
and the
option to purchase the overgrip in high quantities make this excellent value for money.
Comments: I like it, it lasts fairly long, I play around about 10 times a week, and it lasts me about 4-5
weeks. It
doesn't start to rip until it's absolutely SOAKED in sweat. It's also really good for my blisters. I find the feel similar to
the VS
original grip by Babolat, except that the Babolat isn't as good for blisters but offers better feel. I usually use the
Babolat, but
when I get a blister I use this.
Comments: I've used all kinds of grips over the last couple of years, but haven't come across any which
even close to this one. This is undoubtedly the best overgrip I've used. Very absorbent. Tends to get dirty very fast, but
then I'm
willing to change it often rather than compromise on the grip.
Comments: This is one of the first grips I have ever used and I still use it about 10 years later. I have won
tournaments with this grip. I also like the way it absorbs sweat and I like its durability. The only downside is that dirt
can stick to
it and that makes it less tacky.
Comments: I used this grip for a long time and it is a good overgrip, overall, but I do have a few
problems with it.
First, it almost seems TOO tacky for the first few hours. I just don't like the feeling in my hand, but that's a personal
Secondly, it gets dirty REALLY fast and it DOES affect the tackiness. That was when I actually preferred the grip. The
worst for me,
though, was that I had to replace it after only 3 times out, each time roughly 2-3 hours, because it would tear and peel
off in
spots. I notice no one else had that problem. I guess this just isn't for me, but I would recommend it for someone
looking for a
lot of tackiness.
Comments: This grip is the best. Period. I have tried countless other grips including tourna, Babolat and
and none of them compare. Best overall feel, and it doesn't build up the grip size when wrapped tightly. With the
exception of
the dirty factor (which does not affect the play at all), this is the grip to beat.
Comments: I really like this grip. It's a nice, tacky feel. Although, my racquet's grip is irregular and it
wrinkles a
bit when I put it on.
Comments: THIS IS the best grip ever! I play like 30-40 hours a week, and I change the grip once a week
or even 9
Comments: It's a big help on grip slippage prevention. I've tried it and it feels better, it lasts longer, and
it fits the
grip fully without worries. I will definitely use this as soon as I've used up my Tourna Grips. Just make sure to wrap it
tight to have
a minimal effect on the grip size change.
Comments: I love this grip! I have won so many tournaments with this grip, and I only have to change it
every 2-3
weeks (compared to other grips that last less than a week). The only thing though is that you may want to make a
more "girly"
grip. It would be great if you made a pink and green polka dot grip or a brown and light blue plaid grip. I know that
really feminine and too preppy coming from a competitive tennis player, but I know TONS of girls that would buy this
grip and
support this new idea. Thanks and trust me on this.
Comments: Very good grip. Who cares if it easy gets dirty? It just feels so good and soft even though it is
a quite
thin grip. This is my number one. I used to use pro's pro but it did not give me the same feel.
Comments: I have been using these grips ever since they were made. I always loved them, always felt so
and soft and nice and still do. Just recently I've began swinging the racket much faster, and I feel that if you don't have
the grip
really dry, that this grip will tend to slip a bit. For instance, if you are playing and you don't wear cotton clothing or
have a towel
in your bag, then it might be a slippery grip if you have been using it for a bit. Other than the slip for a big hitter, it is
Comments: BEST GRIP EVER!! It gets dirty but it's still worth the money, you should get it if your
looking for a strong durable over grip.
Comments: I love this grip. I've tried like 10 different grips and this has the BEST feel and tackiness.
It does get dirty after a couple days but I play like everyday. Overall it's the best grip out there.
Comments: I just started to use this grip and its the BEST, it does get dirty really quickly, but that's
not THAT important is it? I used to use tourna grip, but it gave me blisters, which damaged my game. I will stick
to this overgrip forever
Comments: This grip is probably the best grip I have ever used, but it can get dirty really quickly if
you play often!
Comments: This grip (white color) gets dirty real easily. I changed one piece after playing 3 times
(usually after 1.5 weeks of installing it) because it's really disgusting. On the overall it gives you the feel so I
guess it's worth every penny.
Comments: This is the best grip it's very tacky only thing is that it gets real dirty but other than that it
the best grip I've used.
Comments: This grip is the best I've ever tried. I play 4 times a week and I only
have to change it once a month. It feels great. I have won a lot of tournaments and I think it's
because of this grip. I have tried tourna grips, Babolat grips, Yonex but this is definitely
the best grip in all the world.
Comments: This grip feels really great. I wanted something other than Wilson
H2Over grip since it was really absorbent but had a "velvety" feel. This grip is just as or more
absorbent than the H2Over grip but has more feel and tack to it. Great all-around grip.
Comments: I have tried some Yonex overgrips and some Gamma overgrips but
the Wilson pro
overgrip just fits better in my hand and the grip lasts a great deal of time. I recommend it; it's
just a great grip.
Comments: This grip is an excellent choice, I'm a 6.0 level player and I have
tried all sorts of grips
and they just don't cut it. This pro overgrip is the best!
Comments: I love these grips and decided to get some red and white ones. It
was disappointing to
see that the red is more of a pink color. The computer image is a different shade than the
real product.
Something to think about before buying the red grips. Otherwise, the best grip out there!!!
Comments: Excellent grip. Easy to install. It gives you a comfortable, secure,
attached sort of feel,
like the racket is just an extension of your arm. If you grip with minimum tightness/ tension
(like you should
anyway) this is definitely a plus, since this grip "sticks" to your hand even at very light
gripping tensions.
Although I thought it wouldn't really work, this thing is actually reversible... I haven't had a
problem turning it to
the other side when it lost its optimum feel (although It never lost it completely) or got a bit
too dirty. It takes a
while for this to happen anyway. It's cool all around and particularly for serving.
Comments: This is a really great grip. I'm a Houston resident but I don't sweat a
lot. Even so,
humidity is always an issue and this grip is not affected by it at all. I found that even though I
average around
21+ hours of tennis every week, I only have to change it about once a month, but by the end,
it's incredibly dirty!
Comments: I really like this overgrip. I sweat a lot and tended to wear tourna
grips out after only a
few hours of play. These Wilson overgrips absorb more sweat and although they lose some
tackiness, they
have a better grip "worn out" than tourna grip does new, in my opinion. They tend to last me
somewhere around
10 hours of playing time before I clean or replace them. The white color also looks great on
my Head iX3. It
does turn brown and/or grey after a while, but who cares?
Comments: This grip is the best grip I tried so far, with Gamma Supreme
Overgrip and Yonex Super
Grap following behind it. It has a very good initial tack, which wears off a little after the first
day. The durability is
okay and it was just the right softness.
Comments: This grip is really good. It's not too tacky and it's a lot better then
Tourna Grip. Even
though it gets dirty pretty quick it's still the best grip out there. It's also very soft. The Tourna
Grip is soft too but it
gave me blisters so I decided to try this one out and I'm not gonna go back to Tourna Grip.
Comments: This grip is awesome 5 hours of playing and it still feels new 7 days of
play still new. I do recommend this grip to any one from soft hitters tho ball killers. it may get
dirty really fast though depending on how long and hard you play

by Kristen Schaub Enjoy clear dialogue from this exceptional home theater performer When you're creating a high-impact home theater system, the last thing you want is for your center channel speaker to fall down on the job. PSB's powerful Synchrony One C delivers clear, detailed center channel sound with all your favorite movies, TV shows, and video games a perfect tonal match for PSB's Synchrony floor-standing speakers. Your eyes will appreciate this speaker's simple, sophisticated looks, and your ears will appreciate PSB's precise driver design. PSB's Synchrony speaker family (Synchrony One C shown center back) Great sound begins with quality driver materials The Synchrony One C features a three-way design with the same drivers as PSB's flagship Synchrony One floor-standing speaker, but in a dual-woofer, horizontal configuration. The 1" titanium dome tweeter is carefully crafted to produce smooth, accurate highs free from distortion and grain. The midrange and woofer cones are made of fine-weave fiberglass, which creates stiff, self-damping cones. You'll hear exceptionally clean mids with excellent detail and tonal accuracy, plus impressive bass response. Extra-large voice coils and virtually distortion-free motor structures help preserve clarity and detail. Plus the rigid, cast aluminum baskets are magnetically inert for maximum efficiency. The woofers use lightweight, rigid fine-weave fiberglass cones for exceptionally smooth response. The tweeter uses a high-flux neodymium magnet to maintain clear, accurate highs, even during dynamic peaks like explosions or cymbal crashes. Top-notch crossover ensures optimal sound dispersion PSB's years of design experience and tireless testing at the National Research Council in Canada have led to a superior crossover design. The high-quality components are carefully picked to create the fourth-order crossovers that go into Synchrony speakers. Meticulous engineering ensures minimal driver overlap, with precisely chosen crossover points to maintain proper dispersion. The result is a smooth frequency response over a wide "sweet-spot." A solid cabinet with a luxurious, real-wood veneer finish Extruded aluminum front and back panels hold the curved, seven-layered top and bottom panels in place, creating an incredibly rigid, acoustically inert cabinet. The Synchrony One C's heavy, rigid cabinet helps eliminate vibrations to maintain the speaker's natural sound. The double-walled aluminum front and back cabinet surfaces hold the curved side panels in place. Each side panel is constructed using seven layers of MDF, each one individually laminated to improve the panel's stiffness and absorb sonic energy that might otherwise color the sound. The top and side panels are clad in real wood veneer that's hand selected for its beauty and quality. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

It has to reproduce clear dialogue and special effects that keep your eyes and ears glued to the movie action. A high-quality center speaker is a great investment for any surround sound setup. Try to choose one that's as closely matched as possible to your front right and left speakers, so that as sound moves across the front stage, it stays seamlessly realistic.
Incredible Center Channel Written By Bill, Chicago, IL on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We replaced our old center channel speaker with the Synchrony One C and were completely blown away. In reviewing a number of our reference Blu Ray discs, we heard a number of things we had not heard before or sounded much more interesting. The sense of space, tone quality, and dimensionality were outstanding and blended perfectly with our main L and R monitors. We tried them with PSB Synchrony Ones, Synchrony Twos, and Synchrony One Bs and in all circumstances this center channel was a perfect fit. Listening to movies and 5.1 music, we were really impressed with tight and solid low frequency response and impact this speaker had. We were hesitant that it might not be worth the added expense, but five minutes in we were looking at each other amazed. Pros: Outstanding Sound Quality Very Well Built Cons: Expensive
Excellent Center Channel Speaker Written By Paul from New Paltz NY, New Paltz, NY on Saturday, October 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I did a direct comparison with the Synchrony 2 center channel and while they were fairly close in sound the Ones have a richer bass and fuller sound. If you are limited in budget or space the 2s are great but the Ones have an edge well worth the extra money Pros: Tight bass natural tone quality Cons: Non
Awesome Written By DrHiFi3D, Houston, TX on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are as good as speakers several times their price. This review says it all: http://www.hometheater.com/content/psb-synchrony-one-speaker-system. In my own words, once they broke in (I was disappointed with their performance straight out of the box but speakers of this caliber require some conditioning before they attain their brilliance) they became majestic. Their accuracy and sound-staging is unparalleled in their price range. Buy these speakers. Pros: Awesome sound-staging with no coloration. Cons: There are no cons to these speakers.

I truly love these glasses. I would travel far and wide to re-purchase, which I will do today, not because they broke, but because they got killed on the baggage carousel during my last trip.

%gosta A news puSCication of the Salish and %gotenai bribes of the Jtathead Indian 'Reservation Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 16, NUMBER 37 THE COLDEST MONTH Chief Koostatah of the Kootenai FEBRUARY 3, 1988 Chairman says he's seriously thinking about running for U.S. Senator Tribal Chairman Mickey Pablo says he's seriously considering challenging John Melcher for the job of U.S. senator for Western Montana this year. He has several weeks before the filing deadline in March to make the decision. One of the things he has to mull over is the fact that he'd have to resign as a member of the Tribal Council in order to have the time to campaign. He's now beginning his second year as Council chairman and his fifth year as the representative of the Camas Prairie/Hot Springs district One result of his candidacy, he said, is that Indian issues would be put before the general public in the state and before legislators in Washington, D.C. Mel- cher hasn't been doing well in that respect at all, he feels. If Indian people would register to vote and then get out and do so, they'd have enough influence to put their chosen candidate into office, he believes. $1.5 million to finance medical training at SKC 10 10 ri * Salish Kootenai College has been approved to receive a $ 1.5 million grant through the Title III program, announces SKC Title III director Mike O'Donnell. The money, which will be distributed over a five-year period, will be used to update the college's administrative record-keeping system through the use of computers, develop fundraising abilities, and introduce the Health Professional Degree program to the college curriculum. The Health Professional Degree program is made up of three options for students who are interested in a medical profession. First, is the combined Licensed Practical Nurse/Associate Degree in Nursing program (LPN/ADN). This program offers a one-year LPN certificate and an optional two-year ADN. O'Donnell explains that the college will have to apply to the State Board of Nursing in order to implement the program. "If it's approved," he said, "the very earliest the LPN/ADN program can begin is Sept., 1989." He says it's a very difficult process, but they're very optimistic that it will be approved. The second part of the Health Professional program is a three-year Physician's Assistant Training Degree' program. Third, is the development of a two-year Tribal Health Administrator's Associate Degree program. The latter program would train students to administer a health department The $1.5 million grant will also provide for a Management Informations System, which will be an integrated computer system that will serve as the database for all of the college departments. 4This will free people up to do more things and will be more efficient," (Continuos on page two)

Tour d'Afrique
Our original trans-continental journey and flagship expedition crossing Africa from north to south, covering almost 12,000 km in four months. This will be the 13th edition of the Tour d'Afrique – a test of mind, body, and bicycle. Traveling through 10 countries in all, you will cycle along the Nile past ancient temples, through the Sudanese desert, and up and down the biblical landscapes of Ethiopia's rugged Simian Mountains. After crossing the Equator in Kenya, you will pedal past legendary Mount Kilimanjaro, to Lake Malawi, Victoria Falls, and along the edges of the magnificent Kalahari and Namib deserts, en route to the finish of your epic journey in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.
The trans-African crossing from Cairo to Cape Town has been one of the world's epic journeys ever since Cecil Rhodes' 19th century dream of connecting South Africa and Egypt by rail.. Since then, the route has become an iconic goal for global adventurers . Over the years individuals have attempted to complete the route using every kind of transport imaginable, with many forced to abandon their quest due to physical challenges and geopolitical complications. In 2003, the inaugural Tour d'Afrique succeeded in cycling the entire 12,000 km distance and in the process established the Guinness World Record for the fastest human powered crossing of Africa.
After avoiding Egypt in 2014 due to the unrest, the 2015 Tour d'Afrique will once again span the African continent from Cairo to Cape Town. Starting at the Pyramids, under the watchful eyes of the immortal Sphinx, the cyclists will head south along the Red Sea and the Nile River in Egypt, visiting the famous sites of Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel, before entering Sudan via a new land crossing. After enjoying the desert climes and warm hospitality of the Sudanese people, the tour climbs up into Ethiopia which is renowned for its rugged, almost biblical, landscapes, its unique culture and cuisine, and it's fast growing economy.
Having conquered the challenges of Ethiopia, the tour then enters more westernized Kenya, crossing the remote Dida Galgalu desert on a notorious lava rock road en route to Nairobi. With Mount Kilimanjaro looming in the distance, you'll then ride into the verdant and wildlife rich country of Tanzania, and enjoy a triple rest day in the safari capital of Arusha. The tour then descends into less known Malawi, the "Warm Heart of Africa," where the riders will savor the shore and surf of Lake Malawi and ride alongside some of that nation's many cycling farmers. After crossing Zambia from east to west we arrive at the Zambezi river and wow at world famous Victoria Falls.
The final month of our trans-Africa expedition begins in pancake flat Botswana where you are bound to encounter elephants along the road. From there the tour spins into Namibia, one of Africa's hidden gems, and across its harsh but stunning desert landscapes. After crossing the Senqu (Orange) river the tour enters its 10th and final country, South Africa, a land of beauty, contrast and rich history. As the tour comes to an end at Cape Town's picturesque South Atlantic ocean harbor, in the shadow of majestic Table Mountain, we'll look back at our amazing journey and celebrate it's completion with lifelong friends.
In short, the Tour d'Afrique is one of the world's greatest cycling trips, and we hope that someday soon, you and your bike will be able to join us on this adventure of a lifetime.
The Tour d'Afrique starts on the outskirt of Cairo at the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the 7 Wonders of The World. After the opening ceremony with the enigmatic Sphinx looking on, your intrepid journey begins through Cairo, the largest city in Africa and heading east towards the Suez Canal.
Once you arrive at the Red Sea you turn south and ride the coastal highway to Safaga. From there you will begin your first major climb riding inland across the rugged Eastern desert into Upper Egypt, joining the Nile River at Qena. In Luxor, you will have the opportunity to explore one of the most the magnificent archeological sites in the world, Temple of Karnak, the Valleys of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens. From there, the route continues south along the banks of the mother Nile towards the Aswan Dam.
From Aswan the 2015 tour will have the opportunity to visit the famed monuments of Abu Simbel, which Tour d'Afrique expeditions have not visited since 2005. This opportunity has been created due to the completion of the road from Egypt to Sudan which now allows a continuous cycle from Cairo to Cape Town.
After crossing the new border post, you have entered one of the world's most remote and least visited countries. Once there, you will discover that the Sudanese are some of the world's friendliest people. For many riders this is where the "real" Africa begins. With the Nile River as companion, you will spin past minarets and through palm grove villages that have hardly changed in hundreds of years.
Change to the area however has come as the sandy tracks that the tour used to traverse in the Nubian Desert, have been replaced by smooth Chinese funded tarmac. This section ends with a convoy ride into the Sudanese capital city of Khartoum, which sits at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers. After the heat and dust of the desert, Khartoum seems to be part oasis and part mirage.
The "Pharaoh's Delight" is for those who want to feel the desert wind on their face and experience the romance of biking along one of the great rivers of the world, through the lands of the Pharaohs and the Nubian Kingdom of Cush. At times you will feel like you are one of the first travelers to come upon these forgotten lands. And on a bicycle, that's pretty much the truth.
Heading south from Khartoum, the tour passes through the Gezira region – the "bread basket" of Sudan. After the town of Sennar, the terrain becomes more difficult and you will be riding on rough "off-roads" as you approach the fascinating and remote Dinder National Park. As the tour approaches Ethiopia the countryside gradually transforms from the Arabic Muslim world of northern Africa to the more tribal and traditional nature of the Horn of Africa.
Once in Ethiopia, the ride of your life begins. Ethiopia contains some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world as well as some of its most unique and ancient cultures. The challenge begins as soon as you cross the border, with two days of climbing up to Gondar City and our destination the Goha Hotel – itself situated on top of the city. This day features 2500 meters of climbing – the most on the tour.
The Ethiopian Highlands offer several fascinating stops including Gondar City with its 17th century castles and the city of Bahir Dar, from where you can take a boat and visit ancient monasteries on the islands in Lake Tana – the source of the Blue Nile. If you have enough energy you can also trek to nearby Blue Nile Falls. Rests days are also a great opportunity to taste the unique Ethiopian cuisine such as injera (flat bread), shuro wat (chick pea stew), and kitfo (steak tartare). Though some riders may hesitate to sample these delicacies, no-one can resist the espresso and juice bars which will accompany the riders throughout Ethiopia.
From a cycling standpoint, the highlight of this section will be the Blue Nile Gorge, a 1600-meter precipitous descent and ascent on a paved road that tests the mettle of cyclists of any caliber. Once you have conquered the Blue Nile Gorge, the beautiful terrain of the central Ethiopian plateau will whiz by as you spin towards the capital city of Addis Ababa. The descent from the eucalyptus forested hills that surround Addis into the downtown core is an experience you will not soon forget.
South of Addis Ababa, the terrain changes again to rolling countryside interspersed with alkaline lakes – including Lake Koka and Langano. You have a chance to stop at Shashamane, the center of Rastafarian culture in Ethiopia. In Yabello, on the rest day you can visit the wildlife sanctuary where you might catch a glimpse at some of Africa's rarest birds such as the Prince Ruspoli Turaco.
The crossing from Ethiopia into Kenya at Moyale marks the beginning of the "meltdown" portion of this section. Though much of it is now paved, the lava expanse of northern Kenya's Dida Galgalu desert is as remote as it gets. If you are lucky and the road is not completely paved, you will be able to appreciate what this road used to be like. At the midway point the market town of Marsabit, set on the slopes of an ancient volcano, offers a welcome respite before the road descends again into the arid lands that are home to the Samburu people and their herds of camels and cattle. Approaching Isiolo, riders rejoice at the opportunity to have a well deserved beer or ice cream bar. From there, the route ascends and then descends the western slopes of majestic Mount Kenya, before crossing the equator in Nanyuki, which is a short day's ride from Nairobi, East Africa's largest city.
The "Meltdown" features some of the most diverse changes in scenery and riding conditions, from plateau to desert to savannah. Cycling the "Meltdown" in its entirety is an impressive accomplishment for any cyclist.
If scenes of Wildebeest migration and big cat kills on the Discovery or National Geographic Channel are your favourite vision of Africa, then this is the section of the Tour d'Afrique for you. One day south of Nairobi, you will arrive at the border of Tanzania and immediately spot the unmistakable Mount Kilimanjaro and its smaller sibling, Mount Meru. From there, it's a day's pedal to the rapidly growing and vibrant city of Arusha. As the gateway to such famous attractions as Serengeti National Park, Ngorogoro Crater, and "Kili," Arusha is East Africa's safari capital. Here riders are given 3 days off, affording them the opportunities to experience wild Africa at its most spectacular, to shop in the local stores and markets, or simply to rest and replenish their energies.
Heading south from Arusha, the red-cloaked Masai tribesmen will be your constant companions as you spin along roads with relatively little traffic, keeping an eye out for zebra and giraffe. At Lake Manyara you trade the tarmac for several challenging days of ascents and descents – the Masai Steppe – on a rougher gravel road, that can be treacherous in places if the rainy season has arrived. However the friendliness of the villagers, the roadside banana stands, and the sheer beauty of this unique and verdant land ensures that come rain or shine, this stretch is one of the most memorable on tour.
Riders head into western Tanzania, cycling through isolated villages and skirting some of the country's most unknown game reserves. A highlight will be the last day on the section where cyclists will climb 1300m to the the 'World's End' viewpoint before speeding down 800m into Mbeya.
This entirely paved tour section highlights the poor but visually stunning country of Malawi. Known as the "Warm Heart of Africa," Malawi sits astride and rises away from the huge expanse of Lake Malawi, Africa's third largest lake, which is home to many breeds of aquarium fish.
Once you set out from Mbeya, it will still take another day to get to Malawi. The ride across southern Tanzania is definitely worth it. You will cycle into Tanzania's breadbasket near Tukuyu, where undulating verdant hills teem with tea plantations and banana and avocado trees. The scenery is breath taking as you start whizzing down the long descent into the Rift Valley, towards the Lake in the distance.
After crossing into Malawi the tour follows the shoreline past fishing villages to Chitemba Beach, which has been a haven for Africa Overlanders for many years. Malawi is especially well known for its skilled hardwood carvers, and here you'll find a large crafts market with beautifully made walking sticks, chairs, "trees of life," and other carvings. Whatever you do – be it swimming, wandering down the beach, socializing in the bar-restaurant, or just reading a book, Chitemba Beach offers a wonderful respite from the journey.
Leaving Lake Malawi you climb up the escarpment into the central plateau en route to the provincial capital of Mzuzu. Don't be surprised to find yourself pedaling alongside some of Malawi's many cycling farmers, as they transport chickens, grain, and just about anything between their villages and the nearest market.
After a night at the sleepy town of Kasungu, you arrive at popular Mabuya Camp in the capital city, Lilongwe, which marks a rest day and the end of this section. Here, riders can visit a nearby shopping centre, surf the net, haggle for handicrafts, or just kick back with a few delicious Carlsberg beers or a shot of the more sinister Malawi Gin.
Malawi's altitude moderates what would otherwise be a tropical climate. Riders can expect high humidity along the lake, and temperate days on the plateau, with a few heavy showers, some lighter rainfall, and periods of intense sunshine. By the time the tour reaches Lilongwe in early April the rainy season should be almost over.
This section starts in the capital city of Malawi from where it's a pleasant day's ride west into Zambia, a country named after the fabled Zambezi River. Presently, Zambia has huge wilderness parks off the beaten track and relatively little tourism. But that won't last long. If your ideal trip is one with few tourists, fantastic scenery, friendly people, and lots of cycling, then the "Zone" can't be beat.
Once in Zambia you will ride through thinly populated countrysides, along the Great East Road, passing villages of huts that bespeak the humble subsistence farming existence of the local people. After crossing the Luangwa River bridge, the route takes you along the edge of the Lower Zambezi National Park, which is becoming renowned for its natural splendor and wildlife. A day off awaits in Lusaka, Zambia's bustling capital city, where one can explore a nearby mall and the national University, or just kick back poolside.
From Lusaka to Livingstone the roads are flatter and fast, passing through several larger towns with well stocked shops. At our campsite in Livingstone, you can arrange your Vic Falls outings, from a basic tour with drenching jaw-dropping viewpoints, to the world's 3rd highest bungee jump off the Zambezi River bridge, helicopter rides, and white water rafting. The people, the adventures, and the natural wonder of Victoria Falls all await you in the "Zone."
Victoria Falls marks the beginning of "The Elephant Highway," perhaps the most popular section of the tour. After a quick spin to Kazungula, you cross the Zambezi River on a very funky ferry and enter the country of Botswana, whose mineral resources and democratic government have made it one of Africa's biggest success stories. At our 1st campsite in Kasane, the Chobe River boat cruise – where you slowly coast up and down stream past herds of elephant, crocodiles, hippos and lots of other wildlife – is a must-do.
The next week provides some of the longest and flattest cycling days on the tour including six centuries (100 miles) in seven days of riding. This is a pure road riding section, and a true test of endurance. Fortunately, you will also be riding through one of the most impressive wildlife habitats on the planet. Botswana is home to some 110,000 elephants that roam through the Kalahari and Chobe National Parks. Don't be surprised if you have to stop on a highway to allow a family of elephants to cross at a safe distance!
After camping near the Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve you arrive at northern Botswana's largest town, Maun, for a rest day on which you can take a dugout canoe or a small plane ride into the Okavango, the world's largest inland river delta. The cycling then continues along the Trans-Kalahari Highway towards the border of Namibia, a country whose stunning arid landscapes are one of the world's best kept secrets.
This section ends in the Namibian capital, Windhoek, a modern, cosmopolitan city that lies in the middle of the country. Here riders can enjoy fabulous beer, great restaurants, a blend of southern African and German cultures, and some amazing shopping.
Starting from Windhoek, you will cycle southwest on dirt and sand roads, across the central Namibia plateau and then down into the Namib desert. The highlight of this section is bound to be the dawn visit to the world's highest sand dunes at Sossusvlei, near Sesriem. Departing the dunes, our route turns south and traverses harshly beautiful and thinly populated lands, en route to the Fish River Canyon, another of Namibia's natural wonders. From there it's a long day's pedal to the scenic Senqu (Orange) River and the final border crossing into South Africa. The excitement builds everyday, as full tour and sectional riders share in the emotional conclusion of this incredible journey.
Late April in Namibia is equivalent to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Riders can expect perfect sunny days in the low to mid 20ºs C, and cool cloudless nights ranging from 7 to 12ºC.
Few countries can match South Africa's natural beauty and wealth. After spinning along on the main road from the border of Namibia for a couple of days, the 2015 Tour will take a new route into South Africa's rugged wilderness and quiet roads – the beautiful and arid Namaqualand – pure joy for off-roaders and some hardships for roadies. From Namaqualand riders will enter Western Cape and head westward towards the Atlantic Ocean and their final destination the city of Cape Town. Joy and celebration awaits them!
