Dunlop grips: quality grips for your tennis racket
Dunlop grips are known for their reliable quality and strong performance on the tennis court. A good grip is essential if you want to hit accurately, hold your racket securely, and prevent injuries. When your grip feels comfortable and offers enough cushioning and control, you play with more confidence. We understand that every player has different preferences for how a grip should feel. At Dunlop, you'll find grips that are carefully designed to provide maximum control with lasting comfort.
Grip is about more than just comfort. It affects how the racket rests in your hand, how well you can rotate it, and how firmly you hold it during long rallies. Whether you train frequently, compete in matches, or play for fun, a quality grip makes all the difference in your on-court performance.
The difference between Dunlop replacement grips and overgrips
Dunlop replacement grips, also known as base grips, are the primary covering over your racket handle. They provide cushioning, structure, and grip feel. You usually use them to replace a worn-out standard grip. Overgrips are applied on top of your existing grip. They're thinner, easy to apply, and ideal for players who frequently need extra tack or fresh absorption.
Do you use your racket often or sweat a lot during play? Then an overgrip is a smart choice for quick added traction and moisture absorption. Do you play intensively or is your current base grip worn out? Then it’s better to install a new replacement grip. Both types are available in various colors and pack sizes, such as 1, 3, or 10 grips.
Features of Dunlop tennis grips
Dunlop grips are made from synthetic materials like PU, which absorb moisture well and feel great during intense rallies. This helps prevent your racket from slipping out of your hand due to heat or sweat.
What stands out about many Dunlop grips is their tacky or slightly sticky feel. Many players appreciate this for maximum control. They're also built with durability in mind, so you won’t need to replace them after just a few hours of play. Several grip models combine excellent cushioning with a secure fit in your hand. This is important for precision with spin or volleys.
When to choose a new Dunlop grip
If your grip feels slippery during a training session or match, that’s a clear sign it needs replacing. If the grip also looks hard and worn, shows fraying, or doesn’t feel right in your hand anymore, it’s time to swap it out.
Playing too long with a worn-out grip can impact your performance. You lose control over your shots and your hand gets tired more quickly. For players who regularly play tennis, it’s smart to replace an overgrip every few weeks. A base grip should typically be replaced every few months, depending on usage and conditions.
Tips for choosing the right Dunlop grip
Choose your grip based on how often you play, how much you sweat, and what feels best in your hand. Sweaty hands? Go for a grip with strong moisture absorption. Play a lot? Then durability becomes even more important.
If you like more feel, a thinner overgrip can make a difference. A thicker base grip offers more cushioning. Dunlop offers various models with features like extra tackiness, great moisture absorption, and comfortable damping. This way, you’ll always find a grip that matches your playing style.
