Replace the Racket's Original Grip
A replacement grip is used to replace the racket's base grip. The old grip is removed before the new one is wrapped directly around the handle.
The replacement grip forms the foundation of the surface you hold. You can use it on its own or apply an overgrip on top. Please note that the most common solution in padel is to leave the base grip in place and wrap an overgrip over it. We therefore recommend choosing a replacement grip for your padel racket only if you have a specific reason, such as large hands or a preference for a particular grip feel.
Replacement Grip or Another Solution for Padel?
A padel overgrip is applied over the existing grip and can be replaced without removing the base grip. A padel undergrip is fitted beneath the outer wrapping and changes the basic construction of the grip.
An ergonomic padel grip can change the shape or contact surface of the handle. Some ergonomic models also function as undergrips and must be covered with an overgrip.
