What matters when buying

The overgrip is the tape wrapped over the original grip. It has two jobs: giving you hold and absorbing sweat. Both wear off over time – if you play twice a week, change it roughly every four to six weeks. This isn't a detail for connoisseurs: a grip that has gone slippery forces you to hold on tighter, and that constant squeezing strains your forearm and elbow. If you've already had trouble with that, our guide Preventing tennis elbow in padel covers the other things you can adjust.

The most important decision is tacky or dry. Tacky grips are sticky by themselves and give instant hold – good for dry hands and cool indoor courts. Dry grips absorb moisture and only become really grippy when you sweat; in summer they're the better choice. Then there's thickness: a thin grip lets you feel more of the racket, a thicker one cushions and builds up the grip size a little. How the racket should sit in your hand in the first place is explained in Grip technique: the continental grip.

Frequently asked questions about Overgrips

How often should you change your overgrip?

If you play twice a week, change it roughly every four to six weeks – at the latest when it feels slippery or the racket starts to turn in your hand.

Tacky or dry – which overgrip suits me?

Tacky (sticky) grips give instant hold and suit dry hands and cool indoor courts. Dry grips absorb moisture and only become really grippy when you sweat – the better choice in summer and for anyone who sweats a lot.

How many layers of overgrip make sense?

One. The overgrip goes over the original grip, not over a second overgrip – otherwise the handle gets thicker than intended and your hand can no longer wrap around it properly. If you want more girth, use a thicker grip.

Can I use tennis overgrips for padel?

Yes, it's the same product. Several classics in our comparison come from tennis. Only the length is worth checking: padel handles are shorter, so there's often a bit left over.

Still looking for a racket?

The best overgrip is little use on the wrong racket. Our Finder suggests the right model for you in a minute.
