Frequently asked questions about padel overgrips
How often should you change your overgrip?
It depends on how much you play and how much you sweat, not on the calendar. The honest rule: if your hand starts sliding inside the grip, you're already late. Playing two or three times a week, every two or three matches is about right. Competing, or playing in summer, every match.
What's the difference between a grip and an overgrip?
The grip is the one that comes from the factory, stuck to the handle of your racket: thick, adhesive and almost never replaced. The overgrip is the thin layer you wrap on top. You change it every few matches and it's what your hand actually touches. Never take the original grip off to fit an overgrip.
Dry or tacky feel? Smooth, perforated or RESIN?
First decide which feel you prefer. Then, how much you sweat.
DRY smooth: dry feel. The whole surface is in contact with your hand and absorbs sweat.
DRY perforated: dry feel, with perforations. Made for those who sweat more or play in the heat.
RESIN: tacky feel, for those who prefer to feel more grip. We recommend it mainly with low or moderate sweating and in mild, cold or indoor conditions.

How do you put on a padel overgrip?
- Take the old overgrip off. Leave the factory grip on.
- Start at the bottom, at the end of the handle. Peel the adhesive tab at the start and stick it down at an angle.
- Wrap upwards, overlapping about a third of the width on each turn. Pull it slightly taut, but don't overdo it: too much stretch means creases and a shorter life.
- Cut the excess at an angle and finish it off with the tape in the pack.
The first ones come out crooked. By the third you've got it.
Can you put one overgrip on top of another?
You can, and plenty of people do it to bulk up a handle that feels too small. But you lose feel, and the one underneath gets soggy with sweat without you noticing. If you need more thickness, go for a bigger handle or a heat-shrink sleeve underneath.
Which overgrip is best if my hands sweat a lot?
DRY perforated. The perforations let moisture out instead of trapping it between your hand and the handle.
Feel (dry or tacky) is a preference. Sweat is a different thing. If you sweat a lot, start with DRY perforated. And change it more often than you think: a soaked overgrip won't grip, whatever type it is.
Do they work for tennis, frontenis or badminton?
Yes. Our overgrips are 110 cm long, enough for a padel racket and also for a tennis, frontenis or badminton racket. Same product, same way of fitting it.
Why are all your overgrips white?
Because they last longer. Colour pigments break down faster with sweat and friction, and the grip suffers match after match. Making them only in white lets us focus on the product lasting, not on having fourteen colours.
Which formats are there, and how many should I get?
DRY smooth and DRY perforated come in packs of 4, 8, 20 and 60. RESIN comes in 4, 8 and 60. The pack of 20 only exists in DRY.
The bigger the pack, the less each overgrip costs. The price per unit of each format is shown on the product page.
If you play regularly, a big pack saves you from running out of grips right on match day.
