adidas Overgrip, Single White Padel Overgrip

A strip is long enough to wrap a padel handle with a small overlap, and a single one is all you need for a racket that has just lost its old grip. The perforations take up sweat, and the surface is tacky when new, which fades as it wears. Retailers list the same size and 0.75 mm thickness for the single strip as for the multi-packs, though adidas does not publish a thickness of its own.

We found no standalone white single from adidas or a major UK retailer, only single strips at a South African stockist in red, black and white. That points to the single being the same strip taken out of the pack, so treat the numbers here as the pack's.

For one player, the adidas overgrip 3 pack is the usual buy, because the strips wear out in weeks and a spare is useful. A single suits a second racket or a first try, and the adidas replacement grip is the thicker base layer underneath. Retailers also sell the same strip in a 25 pack of mixed colours and a box of 45 for clubs, and our padel grips page compares other brands if you want a thinner feel.

If you play weekly, buy a pack: you will go through a strip every few weeks, and a single costs more per grip. If you want a thin grip close to the handle, 0.75 mm will feel bulky, so look at the thinner options above. Pair a fresh overgrip with a racket protector, and see our guide to choosing a padel racket and the padel racket range if the racket itself needs replacing.
