Bullpadel GB-1201 Overgrip Fluorescent Pink (Pack of 3)

The codes are one digit apart and the packs look alike, so they're easy to mix up. Padel Nuestro describes the GB-1201 as polyurethane, with a surface it calls smooth, strong on grip and comfortable against rubbing. The pack adds the detail that matters: it's micro-perforated and carries the HaC absorption label. Both grips are listed at 0.5mm (Tennis Nuts gives the GB-1201's figure); the difference is the perforations, which nobody mentions on the GB-1200.

In practice, perforations help sweaty hands. The tiny holes pull moisture away from the palm and give your fingers a little texture to hold. If your hands stay dry, the plain GB-1200 Comfort is the simpler choice, and if pink isn't your colour, the same GB-1201 comes in black.

Bullpadel sells several overgrips that differ in small but real ways. The table sets out the ones we list, and our padel grip page explains tacky, dry and perforated finishes in more detail.

Perforated grips usually give out a little sooner than solid ones, because they split along the holes, and pink shows grime faster than black. Neither is a reason to avoid it if you change your grip every week or two anyway.

Start at the butt cap, keep a third of each turn overlapping the last, and finish with the tape in the pack. It goes over the base grip of any padel racket; if that base layer is worn flat, a fresh replacement grip such as the Bullpadel GR-1210 underneath brings the cushioning back.
