The Racquet & Hockey Experts

If you prefer a thicker handle and play frequently, and like to keep replacing your grip frequently, an overgrip may be for you. Replacement grips last longer, are thicker and have better cushioning, but cost more per grip. If you need any guidance on which is right for you, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.

How often you replace your racquet grip depends a lot on how often you play, and also the type of grip you use (replacement grip or overgrip). As a general rule of thumb, replace your grip when it shows signs of wear or loses its tackiness and feels like it may slip, or every 3 months since you first started using it, to keep any dirt or bacteria at bay.
