Why choose Yonex overgrips for padel?
Yonex has been making sports equipment since 1946, with quality, innovation and craftsmanship at the heart of the brand. The brand is especially world-famous in badminton, where its rackets, shoes and grips are used by players at every level. In recent years, Yonex has also built a strong presence in tennis, and this experience from both sports makes its overgrips especially relevant for padel players.
A Yonex overgrip is ideal for padel because it lets you refresh the handle without removing the original grip from your racket. It is also the most common solution in padel, where many players keep the base grip in place and add a new overgrip when the handle starts to feel slippery, worn or less comfortable.

What does a Yonex overgrip do for your padel racket?
An overgrip is wrapped over the existing grip on your padel racket. It can give you a more comfortable feel in the hand, better moisture absorption and a more secure hold on the racket. When the grip feels fresh, it becomes easier to keep the racket stable through quick changes of direction, volleys, shots off the glass and technical shots close to the net.
Yonex overgrips are known for their quality and consistent feel. That makes them a strong choice if you want a grip that feels comfortable from the first point and helps create close contact between your hand and the racket.

Should you choose an overgrip or a replacement grip?
In padel, most players choose an overgrip. An overgrip is easy to replace, protects the original grip and lets you adjust the feel of the handle without changing the way the racket is set up. You can replace your overgrip regularly, depending on how often you play and how it feels in your hand.
A replacement grip is used less often in padel. It replaces the original base grip and is mainly relevant if you want a thicker grip or a different feel in the handle itself. For most padel players, however, a Yonex overgrip will usually be the better choice. If you are unsure about the difference, you can read our guide to padel grips and overgrips.
