Adjust the Construction of Your Racket Grip
An undergrip is fitted as the innermost layer on the handle and becomes part of its basic construction. It differs from an overgrip, which primarily forms the surface you hold directly.
Undergrips are available in different materials, thicknesses and shapes. They can therefore affect the circumference and structure of the handle in different ways.
Undergrip or Another Type of Grip?
A padel overgrip is wrapped around the outermost layer and primarily affects the surface you hold. A padel replacement grip replaces the racket's original base grip.
Some ergonomic padel grips also function as undergrips because they are fitted beneath an overgrip and change the shape of the handle. The categories may therefore overlap depending on the construction of the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Difference Between an Undergrip and an Overgrip?
The undergrip sits beneath the outer wrapping and affects the construction of the grip. The overgrip is applied as the outermost layer and is in direct contact with your hand.
Should the Original Grip Be Removed?
It depends on the model. Always follow the manufacturer's fitting instructions, as some undergrips are fitted directly onto the handle, while others can be used together with the base grip.
Should an Overgrip Be Applied over an Undergrip?
Most undergrips should be covered with a grip or overgrip. Check the instructions for the specific product.
Do All Undergrips Reduce Vibration?
No. Dampening must be listed as a documented feature of the individual model and should not be considered a standard function.
