Grip shifted, not overlapping

[firearc]

I just got a new racket with factory grip and after a few hours of play, part of the grip moved. It is no longer overlapping. I can almost see the wood. I moved it a little and part of it is side by side now. Is it still ok to put overgrip on? Will the overgrip do this? How to prevent it?

[jymbalaya]

overgrip will just cover it up, and leave it as it is. to help the grip on the racket, i recommend get a replacement grip, and change it with the one you currently have. that will allow for better grip, and if you choose to place overgrip, will probably provide a better base.

If you choose to put the new grip over it, then wrap it tightly.

if that happens i would just unwrap the under grip and wrap it back so that its tight
then apply the overgrip
