Overgrips for hockey sticks: extra grip and comfort in every match
An overgrip is a thin, absorbent layer that you wrap over the existing grip of your hockey stick. This extra layer provides more control, increased comfort and a firmer hold during play. Especially in humid conditions or during intense training, an overgrip offers that little bit extra that can make all the difference. It also helps to personalize your stick, thanks to various colors and finishes, and protects the original grip from wear and tear.
What is an overgrip and why do you need it?
An overgrip is a separate layer you wrap over the stick’s original grip. It feels soft and is usually made of material that absorbs moisture well. This way, even with wet hands or in the rain, you still maintain a solid grip on your stick.
Many hockey players opt for an overgrip because it reduces the vibrations caused by ball contact, which makes playing more comfortable. You’ll notice improved control over your technique, especially during quick passes or powerful shots. During longer training sessions or matches, it also adds comfort so you can keep playing without distraction.
The benefits of an overgrip for your hockey stick
One of the key benefits of an overgrip is improved moisture absorption. While the original grip forms the base, the overgrip ensures that sweat or rain has less impact on your game. This gives you extra confidence, regardless of the conditions.
Cushioning also plays a significant role. Since the overgrip adds an extra layer, it absorbs shocks better when contacting the ball. You’ll notice this right away in your hands. It also improves control, which builds confidence for high-speed plays. Plus, with a fresh overgrip you can highlight your personal style with a color that suits you.

Practical advice: when to replace your overgrip
It’s wise to replace your overgrip every 3 to 4 months, depending on how often you play. Do you use your stick several times a week or notice the grip becoming slippery? Then it’s time for a new one.
Watch for signs such as reduced grip, visible wear or lower moisture absorption. A worn-out overgrip can affect your technique, especially for precision skills like hits or ball control. By replacing it regularly, you ensure consistent performance and avoid blisters or discomfort while playing.
