There\u2019s a point in every player\u2019s tennis journey when they realize it\u2019s not just the racquet that matters \u2014 it\u2019s the thing you\u2019re actually touching. A good overgrip can change the feel of your frame, give you confidence on serve, and stop your racquet from flying into the back fence mid-rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with dozens of overgrips on the market, most of them white, it\u2019s easy to assume they\u2019re all the same. They\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of the overgrips that stand out in 2025 \u2014 and which one might be right for your hand, your sweat, and your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. Wilson Pro Overgrip \u2013 The Benchmark<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feel<\/strong>: Soft, balanced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grip<\/strong>: Moderate tack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability<\/strong>: Above average<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the overgrip nearly everyone has tried at least once \u2014 and for good reason. Wilson Pro Overgrip hits the sweet spot between tacky and dry, with a thin profile that maintains connection to your bevels. It\u2019s used by pros across all brands, and it\u2019s the overgrip other overgrips get compared to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not the most absorbent, nor the most durable, but it rarely disappoints. For most players, it\u2019s the default starting point \u2014 and often the one they come back to after experimenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Yonex Super Grap \u2013 The Tacky Favorite<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feel<\/strong>: Spongy, slightly thicker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grip<\/strong>: High tack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability<\/strong>: Good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yonex\u2019s Super Grap has developed a cult following for a reason. It feels more cushioned than Wilson\u2019s version and offers a tackier, more locked-in grip. For players who like a secure handle \u2014 particularly in humid conditions \u2014 this one delivers. The trade-off is slightly less connection to the handle\u2019s shape, but for many players, that\u2019s a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you sweat a lot and don\u2019t want your racquet twisting on off-center hits, Super Grap might be your new favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. Tourna Grip \u2013 The Legend for Heavy Sweaters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feel<\/strong>: Dry, sandpaper-like<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grip<\/strong>: Low tack, high friction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability<\/strong>: Wears quickly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll know it by the powder-blue color and the fact that Pete Sampras and Novak Djokovic have used it. Tourna Grip is designed for players whose hands sweat buckets \u2014 it gets better the wetter it gets. Straight out of the wrapper, it can feel underwhelming. Give it 10 minutes of play, and it transforms into a grippy, moisture-sucking surface that won\u2019t slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downside? It wears fast. This is a grip you replace often \u2014 but for many, there\u2019s nothing better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

4. Head Prime Tour \u2013 Underrated and Reliable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feel<\/strong>: Balanced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grip<\/strong>: Moderate tack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability<\/strong>: Solid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head\u2019s best all-around grip is often overlooked but consistently performs well. It\u2019s slightly thicker than Wilson Pro and leans toward the drier side without being chalky. For players who want something dependable and grippy without feeling sticky, Prime Tour strikes a solid middle ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also often cheaper in bulk, making it a smart pick for competitive players who go through grips quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

5. Babolat VS Original \u2013 For the Feel Purist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feel<\/strong>: Ultra-thin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grip<\/strong>: Light tack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability<\/strong>: Low<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the grip for players who want maximum feel. It\u2019s the thinnest on this list by far and almost feels like a second skin on your handle. The downside is short lifespan \u2014 especially if you sweat \u2014 but if you value connection over cushioning, the VS Original is unmatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s particularly good for players who use leather base grips or who want a sharper bevel definition for their one-handed backhand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So Which One Should You Use?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • You sweat a lot<\/strong>: Tourna Grip or Super Grap<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You want balance<\/strong>: Wilson Pro or Head Prime Tour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You prioritize feel<\/strong>: Babolat VS Original<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You want durability<\/strong>: Yonex Super Grap<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You\u2019re not sure<\/strong>: Start with Wilson Pro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Grips are subjective, and the only way to know what works is to test them. The good news? Overgrips are relatively cheap \u2014 it\u2019s one of the few places in tennis gear where you can afford to experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One final tip: replace your overgrip more often than you think. If it\u2019s slipping, shredding, or feels like it lost its soul mid-set, it probably has. A fresh wrap can reset your game more than a racquet change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You touch your grip more than any other part of your gear \u2014 make it count.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a point in every player\u2019s tennis journey when they realize it\u2019s not just the racquet that matters…","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[216],"class_list":{"0":"post-3483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gear","8":"tag-overgrip","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/W-pro-overgrip-Protennis.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3483"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3491,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3483\/revisions\/3491"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.passionnementtennis.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
