This seems to be a decent leather grip: feels comfortable, good level of tack, value for money ... BUT ... it is TOO SHORT. Why companies continue to short-change us like this I do not know. If it was about 5 inches (12 cm) longer it would be ideal so for players like me with a two handed backhand (the majority) can wind it down the full racquet handle with a bit of overlap. But it seems often companies seem to want to penny pinch their customers. Stupid really, because next time I need a grip I will be looking for another brand. Update 12 June 2017. Another important thing I found about leather grips in general is that because they are much heavier than synthetic groups they obviously increase the overall racquet weight but more importantly they change the balance of the racquet - some much more than others. Previously I put a Tennis Warehouse leather grip (very good quality) on my Pro Kennex Ki5 and it didn't make that much difference to the balance. I put this Tourna leather grip on my Volkl Organix V1 Pro and it made a huge difference, one that I have not been able to completely adapt to. I've been persisting because I like the feel of leather grips but I think I will have to resort to a synthetic one to get the original feel and balance that I really liked.
