Signum Pro Wet Grip Pro Overgrip (0.45 mm, 3 Pack)

The Wet Grip Pro does the reverse of a tacky overgrip. Instead of a sticky surface it uses a thin, dry material, and the retailer says the grip actually gets better as it gets wetter. For a player who sweats through a wrap in the first set, that is a different trade: less stick when dry, more security when drenched.

At 0.45 mm it adds almost nothing to the handle. The 3-pack we read is white, and the same product has a 30-pack listing of its own.

Most padel overgrips are tacky, and the Signum Pro range gives a clean choice. The Tour grip is thin and grippy at 0.50 mm, the perforated Micro is 0.55 mm, and the Performance 3-pack is the extra tacky 0.60 mm wrap. The Wet Grip Pro is the only dry one.

Among padel rivals, a tacky choice at similar thickness is the Bullpadel overgrip at 0.5 mm, and HEAD's 0.6 mm pro wrap is the standard tacky reference. Whether a dry wrap suits you is a feel question, so it is worth trying a pack before a box.

Wrap from the butt end with a slight overlap and finish with the tape. A very thin dry wrap shows the base grip beneath, so check it first, and expect to feel the handle edges. It will wear sooner than a thicker wrap, so keep a spare in the bag.
