Why an overgrip is indispensable for your padel racket!
What is a padel cast?
A padel overgrip is an essential accessory for padellers, specially designed to improve the comfort and performance of your racket. It serves several purposes, including reducing sweating during intense rallies and providing extra grip. By applying a thin layer over your basic grip, such as the standard grip,hesacore or shock out grip, it improves the control and feel of the racket in your hand. It's a small but significant adjustment that can make all the difference during a match or long playing session, allowing players to focus more on their game without having to worry about the comfort of their grip.
Why an overgrip?
It is wise to use at least one overgrip , depending on the size of your hand. If you quickly suffer from sweaty hands, only playing with a basic grip such as the shock out grip can result in a slippery racket and loss of control. This can lead to unintentional gripping of the racket too tightly, which can negatively affect your game.
With an overgrip, the racket sticks better to your hand, allowing you to hold it relaxed. Although the shock out grip is designed to absorb shock, adding an overgrip serves the same function and also improves grip and comfort while playing.
