Head Dual Absorbing Grip, Black
£4.99
The Head Dual Absorbing grip, black, is a thick replacement grip for players who sweat and want a cushioned, tacky base on the handle, listed at 1.75 mm and 17 g.
Retailers describe a soft rubber composite with polyester felt and a tacky surface, aimed at club players who want something very absorbing. It's a base grip, so it's thicker than the overgrips we also sell.

Soft rubber and felt, built to soak up sweat
Tennis Nuts, Tennisgear and Merchant of Tennis agree on the numbers: 1.75 mm and 17 g, with a tacky surface over a soft rubber composite and polyester felt. One shop pitches it at squash players who want maximum absorption, another at club players who want a very tacky and absorbing grip.
That felt layer is what soaks up sweat, and it's also why the grip is thick. On a padel handle that can feel chunky if your hands are small.

Not for you if
You want a thin padel handle. At 1.75 mm this adds real thickness, and a 0.6 mm overgrip alone is thinner.

Fitting it
Wind it from the butt cap up with a small overlap and finish with the tape. If it's too thick, trim it, or choose a slimmer wrap from padel grips. Pair it with a thin overgrip such as the Head Padel Pro if you want extra tack, and see padel accessories for the rest of the small kit.
On a padel racket
Padel handles are shorter than tennis ones, so the thickness shows more. Browse our padel racket range if you're changing the racket as well.
