Padel overgrip features
Every racket has an original grip which, among other things, prevents the hand from sliding when the ball impacts the racket on strikes. But often, the original grip isn't enough. So the overgrip is an adhesive tape located around the grip that is already present on the handle. The tape has an adhesive side and a grippy textured side to give style to your racket as well as your game, preserving the sensation of all your volleys.
Advantages of using an overgrip
The most significant advantages of an overgrip are: protection (protecting the original grip and handle to increase your racket's robustness). Grip (keeping your hand fully in contact during strikes). Moisture absorption (with little holes located on the outside to provide better absorption of perspiration from your hands). Handle adaptation (thicken the handle of your racket if you've chosen a small size).
An easy method for choosing the right padel grip size
The most common method for determining grip size is to keep a space of around 0.5 cm between the middle finger and the base of the thumb when holding the racket in your hand. To check the size, place your index finger in the space. If there is still space, then your handle is very small. On the other hand, if it doesn't fit, then you'll need to choose a larger grip.
