A Beginners Guide to Pickleball Overgrips

In this video I go over everything you need to know to get started with overgrips. Why you replace them, which ones you should replace them with, and how to wrap your first paddle.

Thank you someone finally able to answer if you wrap differently for left and right hands.

coming from tennis, I'm no stranger to overgrips - but I watched this just because I love your videos. Keep it up!

I used Tourna Grip for a while in tennis, then switched to Wilson perforated (holes in grip). Perforated is really cushiony, adds texture for grip and less slipping over time. Handles sweat really well

Hey chris, timing, I literally has more overgrips delivered by Amazon 10 minutes prior to getting notified of your new grip video. I love the gamma supreme grip myself.. I never tried the tourna mega grip. Maybe we can make a trade!😏. Another well presented video

Another aesthetic tip is to fold the overgrip kind of in half at the top for a clean edge with the finishing tape.

That Yonex supergrab came in clutch. I needed that.

Noting that there is a big difference between a replacement grip and an over grip. Some of the grips you showed were actually replacement grips so making that distinction would be helpful. Also Gamma supreme is actually a tacky grip. Great work!

[JamesWilliams-tfsn]

You are a bit confused between what is a overgrip and a replacement grip. Also supreme grip is one of the most popular tacky tennis grips in the market.

I’ve found it’s cleaner to cut at an angle, similar to bike handlebar tape

I developed “tendon elbow”, a brutal tendon injury that knocked me out of playing for the next three months at least. And I think it’s partially because I did not put overgrip on my CRBN 1x, a grip that is way too small for me. I was clenching it too tightly. Plus, I think I need a paddle with a lower swing weight. Feel feee to suggest anything.

Solinco Heaven Grip is my #1 for all racquet sports

[danbozymowski]

Thanks for all the time you put into making this video. There are however, some annoying clicks throughout it.

It would help to show people what end to start with. You seemed to be starting with the wrong end given that it did not have a taper. Unless the brand you were using does not have a tapered end?

[Gwillis]

So do people keep the manufacturer grip on and THEN put on an over grip ever?

[CyberSonic]

@ThePickleballStudio Is there a difference between overgips and grip tape?

[jekpapa]

I always thought the side that had the covering was the inside…

[afterthesmash]

Clockwise. Depends on front of clock. Doh!
