Tennis matches require players to physically exert themselves as much as possible.  This means that players sweat a lot, including their hands. This is a potential problem for any player as it is important that the player has complete control over the racquet and that the grip does not become slippery.  This is why it is important that tennis racquets have quality grips that will absorb moisture and keep the player’s hands cool.

How to choose the best tennis grips for sweaty hands?

In order to choose quality tennis grips for sweaty hands, you have to take several factors into account, namely:

• Thickness – The grip should not be too thin because there will not be enough cushioning. The grip must also not be too thick because then it could be difficult to hold the racket.

• Material – Choose a grip made of material that absorbs sweat well.

• Tackiness – During a match, you want to have a racquet that will have moderate stickiness to help you have a perfect grip.

• Durability – You obviously want to have grips that are as durable as possible, and for that you need the grips to be made of quality materials.

• Cushion – This is important so that you are as comfortable as possible when holding the racquet.

• Sweat absorption – cotton the materials are excellent for providing this function

• Price – at very reasonable prices you can get quality tennis grips, which you will see in the examples we will give, especially if you buy them in bulk

• Temperature – in accordance with the weather, you need to find a suitable grip, so if it is large heat then you have to find a grip that won’t slip out of your hands

• Comfort – comfort is always important because you don’t want to have hand cramps and blisters

There is an entire section on TennisRage featuring tennis grips so you can be sure to find a grip you like.

Head

I have tested many different grips and my favorite grip is the Head XtremeSoft.  This is the grip I use every day.  The grip is comfortable with the perfect amount of tackiness. It absorbs sweat and is durable.  And, it comes in many fun colors.  Finally, the price is reasonable, especially when considering the quality.  Whether you are a beginner or a pro, Head grips are a great choice.

Yonex

Yonex has been producing extremely high-quality tennis grips for decades. Super Grap and Dry Grap are both great options for sweaty hands. With these grips, you will have a comfortable grip and the racquet will not slip.   These grips do an excellent job of absorbing both moisture and shocks.  You can also use them for all racquet sports.

Tourna

Tourna has a wide selection of high-quality grips.  These grips are durable and prevent slips.  They are of made of a synthetic polymer that contributes to the durability of the grips. 

Babolat

Babolat grips are another great option and they are often used by players. These grips provide excellent shock and sweat absorption, and they last a long time.  They are also comparably priced to all the other brands discussed in this article.

Wilson

After Head, Wilson is my next favorite brand. I used Wilson grips for a long time prior to discovering that I slightly preferred the Head grips.  As for Wilson, they have a line of perforated grips, including the Wilson Pro Peforated grips. As the name suggests, these are tennis grips with perforations that can be purchased in several colors. This type of grips is perfect for absorbing moisture. These grips provide an excellent “feel” when hitting a ball.  These grips are also very comfortable and durable.

Wilson also makes a large line of Pro Overgrip grips.  These grips also have an excellent feel and good durability.  You will certainly feel comfortable holding the racquet and these grips are an excellent choice for all people who love tennis and especially for professionals. They are available in many colors, including black, white, neon green and neon pink.
