Padel Grips

Padel grips: improve your game with the perfect grip

A padel grip is more than just a layer of tape around your racket handle. It is an essential part that affects your comfort, control, and performance. Grips provide support during every shot, absorb shocks, and improve sweat absorption. You can choose from base grips and overgrips. A base grip is applied directly onto the handle of the racket. An overgrip is wrapped as a thin layer on top. Both types have their own function and benefits. The right combination gives you more confidence and control over your shots.

Why a good padel grip matters

A padel grip largely determines how much control you have over your racket. A worn-out grip makes it harder to hold the racket firmly, increasing the risk of bad shots or even injuries. A good grip prevents the racket from slipping, even during intense matches and heavy sweating. It also helps absorb shocks and offers comfort during long rallies or training sessions. Regularly replacing your grip improves hygiene and keeps your playing feel consistent. Players who change their grips on time often notice an immediate improvement in feel and precision.

Base grips vs. overgrips: what's the difference?

A base grip is the standard grip applied directly to the racket frame. It’s usually thicker, provides cushioning, and forms the foundation of the handle. Overgrips are thinner and wrapped over the base grip. They add extra tack, grip feel, and moisture absorption. Some players opt for only a base grip if they want maximum cushioning. Others add an overgrip on top for increased tackiness and better control with sweaty hands. Replacing your overgrip frequently keeps your grip feeling fresh. The base grip underneath will also last longer this way.

How to replace a padel grip

Replacing a padel grip is easy. Start by removing the old grip. Then wrap the new grip or overgrip starting from the bottom of the handle and moving upward at a slight angle. Pull the grip firmly but not too tight so it fits well around the handle. Use a finishing strip at the end to secure everything neatly. Overgrips are convenient for quick changes and frequent replacements. Always make sure the grip is applied evenly without folds or gaps. This prevents discomfort during play and ensures full control.
