An overgrip is a thin, tacky wrap you put over your racket’s existing handle. It is one of the cheapest upgrades in padel.
Why use one?
- Better grip when your hands get sweaty.
- Extra comfort during long sessions.
- Protects the original grip from wear.
- Lets you adjust the handle thickness slightly.
How often should you change it?
When it feels smooth, dirty or starts to peel, it is time for a fresh one. Players who sweat a lot may change theirs more often.
How to fit one
Start at the bottom of the handle, wrap upwards with a slight overlap, and finish with the supplied tape. Keep the tension even so there are no lumps.
