Raquex Enforce Hand Spray (Grip Spray, 50ml)

Sellers describe a spray that dries the hand and gives more friction without a sticky or chalky residue. Decathlon's listing calls it triple action, meaning it dries hands and grips, removes sweat and kills bacteria. Padelspeed says a bottle gives over 200 applications. All of that is the seller's wording, not a test result.

The product also goes by other names. Our catalogue has it as the Enforce Hand Grip Spray, and some shops list the same bottle as the Enforce Grip Spray or the Anti-Sweat Hand Spray.

A hand spray treats the hand, an overgrip treats the handle and a wristband stops sweat reaching either. They solve slightly different problems, and plenty of players use two of the three. A spray is the quick fix when the hand is damp, but it will not rescue a handle that has gone smooth.

For the handle, see the Raquex Evade Pro overgrip 3 pack, the Head Pro overgrip 3 pack or the Black Crown 12-pack. For the wrist, there are the Raquex double width wristbands.

Because no ingredients or warnings are listed, read the bottle when it arrives, and patch test it if you have sensitive skin. Try it in a practice session before relying on it in a match. Keep it off clothing and out of eyes, as you would with any spray.

More small kit is on our padel accessories page, with padel grips for the handle. A fresh handle matters more than any spray, so check the padel racket range if yours is on its last season, and carry it all in a padel bag.

Anyone with sensitive skin or an aversion to sprays, and players who would rather fix the cause with a fresh overgrip. It also suits only those who play with bare hands.
