Product Information

Full details

The Wilson AbsorbX Overgrip Padel 3 Pack is designed for padel players seeking a reliable, dry feel even during intense, sweaty matches. Its key benefit is exceptional sweat absorption and a comfortable, tack-friendly surface that enhances control. A potential caveat is that the ultra-absorbent nature might require more frequent replacement for players who sweat profusely or play in very humid conditions. This pack provides three durable overgrips, available in red or black, perfect for refreshing existing rackets or outfitting new ones.

FAQs

How many overgrips are in one pack?

Each pack contains three AbsorbX Overgrips.

What colors are available?

The AbsorbX Overgrip is available in red and black.

Can I use this on a tennis racket?

Yes, while sized for padel, it can be used on other racket types like tennis or badminton.

How often should I replace the overgrip?

It depends on your playing frequency and sweat level. For optimal performance, replace when the grip feels less tacky or shows significant wear.

Is this grip suitable for players who sweat a lot?

Yes, it is specifically designed to be ultra-absorbent for players with sweaty hands.

Does it come with adhesive tape?

Yes, typically includes finishing tape to secure the end of the overgrip after application.

Troubleshooting

Overgrip feels slippery immediately after application.

Ensure the racket handle was clean and dry before application. Make sure the overgrip was wrapped with consistent tension and fully adhered.

Overgrip wears out too quickly.

This can happen with extremely heavy sweating or aggressive play. Ensure you are applying with proper tension. Consider using a base grip underneath for added protection and longevity.

Difficulty wrapping the overgrip evenly.

Maintain consistent tension as you wrap. Slightly overlapping each layer by about half the width of the grip helps create a smooth surface. Practice may be needed for a perfect wrap.

  4. Overlap each subsequent layer by approximately half of the overgrip's width.
  5. Once you reach the top of the racket head, cut off any excess material.
  6. Secure the end with the provided finishing tape.

Care:
