    Greetings friends
    I m new to this forum.
    Hi :)
    I bough my new racket and it comes with karakal grip. But my hands sweats quite alot sometimes it dripping wet.
    So I replaced the grip with another one with yonex grip. But the problem can't be solved, sometimes when my hand sweat alot I can't hold the racquet properly.
    I was thinking if I should use over grip to solve this problem. Any idea guys?
    Does overgrip really make a difference or should I replace the grip?
    and also any suggestion on which grip or over grip should I use to solve this problem.
    Thank you. :)

    Rkep G08. I'm very sweaty and haven't felt this slip yet. This stuff.soaking wet feels like fresh karakal pu super to me.

    Tried towel, hated it.

    Nope, I just cut up a towel used double sided sticky tape. So slippery! Which resin do you recommend? I've got enough g08 to last me til Christmas now though :)

    Selfmade towel grip is IMO not as good as towel grip. I used to make my own in the past, but it was just average feeling and you could foolow my from the court to my home.

    I have really sweaty hands too, which is difficult especially when it comes to tournaments and you can't let your rackets rest exactly.

    I find that softer and thicker grips help with the sweat. For 2+ years, I used MBS-brand soft grip, and I still think it's really good. The grip's width (not thickness) makes the ridges far apart. If you prefer more ridges, I have also had good results with FZ Forza Replacement Grip. Pricewise, the FZ Forza is a little cheaper where I am.

    I have really sweaty hands and use towel grip too. Just Recently I discovered grip powder, which helps to keep the grip live longer and keep it dry. But the best recent discovery was a basic sweatband around the wrist. Most of the sweat doesn't come from my hands, but runs down my arm instead and the grip used to soak it all up. Since I have a sweatband around my wrist my grips don't get that wet any more and are more durable.

    I play in Thailand in very humid conditions, the best grip for sweatyty hands by far is the Tolson overgrip
