Overgrips are designed to improve grip feel, moisture absorption, and control during play. Easy to apply and replace, tennis overgrips help maintain a secure hold in all conditions and are essential for regular players.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my overgrip?
Most players should change their overgrip every 6 10 hours of play, or sooner if it becomes slippery or stops absorbing sweat effectively. In hot or humid conditions common across Australia overgrips may need replacing more frequently.
What is the difference between tacky and dry overgrips?
Tacky overgrips provide extra grip security and a sticky surface feel popular with players who want maximum hold. Dry overgrips (also called absorbent grips) focus on sweat absorption and a softer, more comfortable surface feel preferred by players who dislike the sticky sensation of tacky grips.
Can I use an overgrip without a replacement grip?
You can apply an overgrip directly to the existing base grip if it's still in good condition. Overgrips are thinner and not designed to be the sole grip on the handle, so if the base grip is worn or compressed, replacing it first is recommended before applying a new overgrip.
