Dunlop Gecko-Tac Replacement Grip

£5.99

The Dunlop Gecko-Tac replacement grip is a tacky one-piece grip that you wind straight onto a bare handle after stripping the old one, for players who want a firm, high-friction base rather than a wrap over the top. It is sold one grip to a pack, in black or white.

Dunlop says it gives up to 50% more grip and tack than its earlier grips, and one reviewer calls the tack aggressive. Dunlop sells it for tennis and squash, so padel use is our reading and not a Dunlop claim.

Replacement grip or overgrip: the name trap

Dunlop uses Gecko-Tac for two products. This one is the replacement grip, which goes on the bare handle in place of the factory grip. The Gecko-Tac overgrip comes in packs of three, twelve or sixty and wraps over whatever is already on the racket.

A third-party catalogue describes the replacement as three layers: a polyurethane outer skin, a foam and fibre middle and a microfibre base. We found no thickness figure, so we cannot compare it with the Super Tac overgrip, which most sellers list at 0.55 mm.

Table separating the Dunlop Gecko-Tac replacement grip from the Gecko-Tac overgrip: replacement is one grip per pack, overgrip comes in 3, 12 or 60, Dunlop claims up to 50% more tack and padel tests were not found

Two products share one name, check which one you buy.

Which Dunlop grip fits what you do

If you re-grip rarely and like a tacky handle, the replacement makes sense. If you change a wrap every few matches, the Super Tac 3 pack is cheaper per change, and the Super Tac 30 pack suits a club or coach.

Browse every padel grip in one place, and pair the grip with a racket from the padel racket range.

Who should skip it

Anyone who dislikes an aggressive, sticky feel, and players who want a padel-tested grip, since the sources we found are tennis and squash. If you are still choosing a racket, our guide to choosing a padel racket is the place to start.

Not for you if

You want a very soft, low-tack handle, or a grip with published padel testing and a stated thickness.

Dunlop Gecko-Tac Replacement Grip: questions people ask

Is the Dunlop Gecko-Tac replacement grip the same as the Gecko-Tac overgrip?

No. The replacement grip goes on a bare handle, and the overgrip wraps over an existing grip in packs of three, twelve or sixty.

How tacky is the Dunlop Gecko-Tac grip?

Dunlop claims up to 50% more grip and tack than its previous grips, and one reviewer calls it aggressive. There is no measured figure.

Can I use a Dunlop Gecko-Tac replacement grip on a padel racket?

Dunlop sells it for tennis and squash. It will fit a standard handle, but padel use is our reading, not a Dunlop claim.

How many grips are in a Gecko-Tac replacement pack?

One.

Do I need an overgrip on top of the Gecko-Tac?

Not necessarily. One shopper says they skip the overgrip, though sweaty players may still want one.
