4ON Total Grip Paste 50ml

Where 4ON's TotalGrip spray adds friction to a hand or handle that's already getting damp, this paste is pitched differently: a barrier rubbed into the skin that repels water and moisture before they build up, with the anti-slip effect kicking in within seconds of application and no sticky or greasy residue left behind.

No brand lists the ingredients that do this, so we can't say more than the mechanism it's sold on: a dry layer between hand and grip rather than a sticky coating. One customer review we found claims the paste lasts longer than the spray; that's one person's experience, not a confirmed comparison, so we're not repeating it as a selling point.

Put a small amount on your fingertips and rub it gently onto your palm, covering the areas that make contact with the grip. There's no wait time quoted beyond the few seconds it takes to work in, unlike the spray formats which ask for a longer absorption window. Reapply if your grip starts slipping again during a long session.

Players who want a product worked into the skin rather than sprayed on, perhaps because a paste travels better in a kit bag or because the rub-in application feels more deliberate than a quick spray. 4ON's own TotalGrip spray does a similar anti-slip job in aerosol form, applied to the hand or the handle itself, and the brand's TotalDry spray is a genuinely different product, an antiperspirant that reduces sweat rather than adding grip over it. If your grip itself has worn out rather than your hand getting slippery, a 4ON SwiftGrip base-and-overgrip pack or a fresh overgrip from our padel grips page solves that instead, and the full padel accessories range covers everything else small enough to fit in a kit bag. Our guide to choosing a padel racket covers the rest of the kit if that side still needs sorting.
