How do you place an overgrip on your padel racket?

An overgrip offers more grip and comfort to your padel racket, but how do you properly turn the grip around the handle? Justpadel.nl will explain that to you in this blog.

First, place the starting point of your overgrip on the starting point of your handle. Then place your finger on it and turn one straight circle around the bottom of the handle. Then slowly turn the overgrip diagonally upwards. Make sure that the overgrip continues to overlap and that you no longer see a basic grip in between. Once you get to the top of the handle, cut the overgrip at an angle so that it is flush with the end of the handle. When that is done you can finish it neatly, for this you turn the plastic adhesive that comes with it at the top of the handle.

It is important that you twist the overgrip tightly around the handle.

Left-handed or right-handed?

When applying your overgrip, you must take into account your handling preference during padel.

Right-handed players should turn the padel racket upside down and turn the overgrip to the right.

Left-handed players should turn the padel racket upside down and turn the overgrip to the left.
