No original grip. I strung it with Exbolt 63 at the time of purchase. I forgot the tension, but I think it was 23. It's clean because I've only used it as a sub-racket. I used it for 4 months, with a total of 7-8 practice sessions of 2 hours each. In my subjective opinion, it's no different from the GAME in terms of playability and operability.
