Bullpadel Comfort Dry Overgrips (Tub of 50)

Three kinds of people. Coaches, who re-grip a bag of loan rackets every few weeks. Clubs, which sell single grips at reception. And heavy sweaters, who find even a fresh overgrip goes slick within a session and would rather change it every time they play. Don't confuse it with the GB-1604 tub, another fifty-grip Bullpadel drum with its own code. For everyone else, a pack of three GB1200s is the sensible size, and if a club wants every handle white, the GB1616 box of 60 is the all-white version of the same idea.

The split of colours helps a club: white makes a worn-out grip obvious at a glance, and black hides the grime on rackets that get passed round.

A dry overgrip has a matte surface that drinks moisture rather than staying sticky, so it feels a little less glued to the palm on the first rally but stays the same after an hour. The micro-perforations add more surface for sweat to go into. That makes these the right choice for summer outdoor courts and humid indoor clubs, and the wrong one for players who like a grip that grabs their hand in a cold January session.

Perforated grips have one weakness: they tend to split along the perforations before an unperforated grip would wear through. With 50 in the tub, that matters less. Our padel grip page compares dry, tacky and perforated finishes side by side.

If you play once a week and change your grip once a month, 50 overgrips is about four years of grips. They'll keep in the tub, but you'd be better off with a pack of three now and then. Thickness and length aren't published for this tub, so if you're particular about either, try a three-pack of the GB1200 first.

A long terry wristband, such as the Bullpadel wristband pair, stops sweat running down the forearm onto the handle, Crystal Grip gel dries the palm itself, and drying the racket handle after each session stops a fresh grip going stale in the bag. The Bullpadel rackets page covers the frames these grips usually go on, and the full padel racket range takes any standard overgrip.
