Overgrips

Padel overgrips

Some accessories last a whole season. Others keep going in and out of the racket bag. The padel overgrips belong to the second group. Use, sweat and hours on court change how the handle feels, so many players swap them several times a year, and some even several times a month.

It's one of the simplest ways to change how a racket feels without changing model. A fresh overgrip can give you a firmer hold, bring back some comfort in your hand or adjust the thickness of the handle to suit you.

What is an overgrip for?

How often should you change an overgrip?

There's no single answer. Some players put on a new one every few matches, others keep the same one for much longer. It usually depends on how many hours you play, how much you sweat and personal preference.

When the surface turns slippery or worn patches show up, it's normally time to replace it.

How many overgrips do players use?

Handles aren't all the same thickness and neither are hands. Some players use one overgrip over the original grip, while others add several layers to make the handle slightly wider.

It's fairly common when someone wants a more comfortable feel, or when the original handle is too thin for their hand.

An accessory at every level

A player who has just started and someone who competes every weekend both use them. Overgrips are part of the usual kit at any level of padel.

In fact, they're one of the products people buy most over a year, because they wear out much sooner than other parts of your kit.
