A worn or poorly chosen tennis grip can quickly lead to frustration on the court. Whether it's slippery hands, painful blisters or a poor grip - we'll show you the most common problems with grips and how you can easily fix them. So nothing stands in the way of your perfect game.

1st Problem: Your grip slips during play

Why it happens:

• Materials that are too smooth or insufficient sweat resistance.
• Incorrect wrapping technique when attaching.

The solution:

• Choose a grip tape with high grip and sweat absorption
• When wrapping, make sure that the tape is tightly taut and does not come loose.

2nd problem: Your grip tape wears out too quickly

Why it happens:

• Low material quality.
• Frequent use without regular replacement.

The solution:

• Choose a durable grip tape that is specially designed for frequent players.
• Change your grip tape regularly – at the latest when the grip deteriorates or visible wear occurs.

3rd Problem: Blisters and calluses on the hands

Why it happens:

• Grip that is too hard or rough.
• Inappropriate thickness of the grip tape.

The solution:

• Use a soft grip tape that provides cushioning and reduces pressure points.
• Thicker overgrips provide additional comfort and are ideal for players who have sensitive hands.

4th Problem: Sweaty hands lead to poor grip

Why it happens:

• Non-absorbent or smooth grip tapes.
• Intense matches at high temperatures.

The solution:

• Keep a towel nearby to wipe away excess sweat during play.
• Use a grip tape with high absorbency and anti-slip technology, like our Signature Overgrip with SweatBoost Technology .

5th Problem: The grip tape comes off quickly

Why it happens:

• Improper fastening during installation.
