Two Shopee Malaysia changes in the second half of 2026 quietly reset what a local Marketplace store keeps per order. Here is the rate table, the SST overlay, and three numbers to re-run before the next stock order.

Seven months of our own order-level profit data across 16 Southeast Asian stores, both platforms, same product range. The gap is a cost-structure story, not a demand story.

Width is not styling — it answers a construction problem. Why only three models need 26 mm, and why lengths run 1090 to 1140 mm.

Grips and socks account for 86% of the units we sell across 16 Southeast Asian stores. Complete rackets: 93 pieces. The category mix in our own order data says more about what to stock than any trend report.

The ridge pays off only when you grip firmly. Six ridged models against five flat, plus three assumptions that cost buyers money.

74, 76 and 78 sq.in are a range decision, not a quality ranking. Two of these four frames share 76 sq.in and play nothing alike — here is why.

Overgrip thickness runs 0.65mm to 1.9mm, and the surface decides which climate it suits. A 15-item specification table, with tacky vs dry mapped to markets.

A 130g squash frame and a 230g one are not the same racket at different weights. Read weight, balance point and tension ceiling together, across four models.

Most buyers choose an overgrip supplier on price and colour. The orders that come back are won on three less glamorous things: batch consistency, SKU discipline and packaging. A sourcing checklist for distributors and shop owners.

How private-label gradient overgrips work: the six things you can specify, how colour matching should be approved, and the exact information to include in a first enquiry.
