Head Hydrosorb Pro Grip, White

£5.83

The Head Hydrosorb Pro grip, white, is a cushioned replacement grip that goes on the bare handle, for players who want a tacky base with a bit of airflow.

Our listing calls it an overgrip. It isn't one: retailers list the white Hydrosorb Pro at about 1.75 mm, code 285304 at Central Sports, where an overgrip is around 0.6 mm.

Base grip or overgrip?

A base grip is the layer on the bare handle, thick and cushioned, and an overgrip is a thin wrap that goes over it and gets changed often. The Hydrosorb Pro is the first kind, so it adds real thickness to a handle.

White shows dirt quickly, which is fine for a base grip you'll cover with a wrap. If you want the colour to show, plan to wash your hands first.

You wanted a thin white overgrip. This adds about 1.75 mm to the handle.

Table comparing a base grip with an overgrip using the Head Hydrosorb Pro as the base example: about 1.75 millimetres against about 0.6 millimetres, goes on the bare handle against over the top, lasts months against weeks, and our listing calling it an overgrip

Fitting it

Wind it on from the butt cap with a slight overlap and tape the end. Over the top, a fresh wrap from padel grips gives extra tack. The wider kit list sits under padel accessories, and our padel racket range holds the frames.

The tape in the pack

Most replacement grips are finished with a strip of tape at the top, which is what stops the end lifting. Keep the leftover tape, because it's the same tape you'll want when you add an overgrip later.
