What kind of tennis racket grip would i buy for my lightsaber hilt? amazon doesn't give a good description but it looks like it may be overgrip.

Do you mean a solid grip, or the rubbery grip tape that can be wound around the grip? If you want to buy a solid rubber grip, you could also consider handlebar grips for cycles. Ultimately, it's up to you what you use to attain the design you have in mind

I hade more in mine the tape. As of now I use mostly thick electic tape for grips. I was hoping to by actual grip since the o-rings arn't that comforble and make my hilt look fat. I like the thin hilts.

In that case, your best bet is to try sporting outlets and see what grip tapes are available, you could also try tape for an ice hockey stick if you can't get any for a tennis racquet  Thin hilts are definitely easier to wield, although I also find a curved hilt is the most maneauverable

Thanks, and thin hilts are also nicer in my eyes. I guess you could concider palpatines saber hilt as thin and look at that eye candy!

You're welcome  I have to admit, my first metal saber hilt was very thin compared to the one I have now ;D Palpatine's saber was certainly unique
