    my advise is not to use antiperspirant. through some research, this invite cancer happening to your palm pores. still let it be natural.

    There is no test yet done on the palm/grip that anti perspirant invite cancer, but the scientist is saying that anything that block the sweat from coming out( or natural process occur) then there is possibility that you are building up chemical dirts on the pores and in long term you are inviting cancerous cell or whatsever to your pores... :rolleyes:

    best way after playing for more than 20 years . get good syntetic grip, put a wrist tower to stop sweat moving to your palm and very important, hang a GOOD cotton towel beside your pant/pocket and dry it every time you feel necessary. I bet this will solve all your palm sweating problem.

    my hand sweat gallons too. get yourself some tournagrip tourna tac grip, these grip alone absorbs amazingly well. you'll be surprised, guranteed. tournagrip is associated with tennis btw. you can use the grip on almost anything. it's on all of my rackets.

    Yonex Towel Grips for the win.

    They also cost cheaper than the other grips. I replace mine every three weeks to one month of extensive use.

    I've had this problem forever. Towel grips solve the problem temporarily, but then the towel grip gets hard after one use and it's no longer comfortable to use. I have yet to find a single overgrip that can fix my sweaty hands problem. I've used overgrips that have this really tacky layer sprayed on, and that only helps to a certain point (beyond which my hand sweat takes over and it's rendered useless).

    My solution is to just use multiple rackets and keep switching between them. I put regular overgrip on these rackets so that initially they work fine when dry, and as soon as they get wet I just swap for another racket. It's too expensive to keep using towel grips, I'd prefer to invest that money in more rackets.

    Where can I obtain a sample? If I can find a solution to this problem, I will be so happy. I've tried Yonex grip spray and it did not work at all, so I gave up on the idea that I could put something on my hands to remove the sweat. I hope your product works!

    Yeah towel grip and grip powder I would guess will work great ;) But in my country idk if they even sell proper grip powder... I've heard that grip powder is the same powder that climbers use. Is that true? Would it work as well?

    actually I have no idea what is the differences between the two, that's why I put both
    but from the description, the normal powder is only for towel grip and the DX one is for towel and PU (that's why it is more expensive)

    not sure whats in the yonex or karakal grip powders but climbers just use gym/chalk powder.

    wiki:
    Gymnastic chalk is a powder that improves grip by absorbing sweat. It is primarily magnesium carbonate but often with added magnesium sulfate which acts as a drying agent.
