Wilson Pro Padel Overgrip, 3 Pack

The tennis review we found puts the Wilson Pro Overgrip at 0.60 mm, and retailer snippets give 0.6 mm and 0.55 mm for the felt surface. That is the same as HEAD's Padel Pro and Babolat's Pro Tour 2.0, thicker than Bullpadel's comfort grip and Babolat's VS Original, and thinner than adidas, whose padel overgrip is listed at 0.75 mm.

We found no independent thickness for the padel-branded pack, so treat 0.60 mm as the figure to expect, not a guarantee. Thin overgrips keep the handle's shape and feel crisp; if you want a bigger, softer handle, Babolat's Comfort overgrip is another route.

The review calls the Pro lightly tacky, between dry and sticky, and good for light to moderate sweat, especially early in a session. The tack fades before the tape wears out, and the reviewer suggests replacing it after roughly two to three hours of play, depending on how much your hands sweat.

That is the honest catch. If you sweat heavily, play in the heat or hate re-wrapping, the same reviewer points towards Tourna Grip or Wilson's AbsorbX overgrip instead. Wilson's Profile padel overgrip is another option in the same brand.

The tape is stretchy with an adhesive starting strip. Start at the butt cap, overlap each turn by 2 to 3 mm, and do not pull the finishing tape too tight. The grip is tapered, so right-handers face the taper up and left-handers face it down. A padel handle is shorter than a tennis one, so you will have tape left over.

The three-pack suits most players. If you change grips often, our 12 pack gives you a season's supply, while the single overgrip is the one to try first. More choices are on our padel grips page.

Heavy sweaters, anyone who wants a cushioned, thicker handle and players who do not want to replace tape every few sessions. Match the grip to your racket too: our padel racket range lists handle sizes by model, and our guide to choosing a padel racket covers weight and feel.
