    Anybody know of any good grips for sweaty palms aside from towel grip or grip powder?

    1. A sweatband on your wrist to avoid swear from your forearm on your hand
    2. I have a similar problem and have tried many different grips. I now use Adidas Performance Team grips, but it might be hard to find them. Try are better than anythingI tried so far...
    3. Someone will recommend the RKEP G08, but I've never tried those and there seems to be a difference between the recent and the older ones.

    Avoid G08. It's completely different now to before. Towel grip is the best way to go. Change frequently and use grip powder. RKEP towel grip from Eric is the same stuff as yonex but the reel is 12m and is cheaper. Apply directly on wood to avoid having too thick of a handle. Otherwise you can also import 402dx from Rakuten for thinner towel grips.

    Yeah, very helpful ;)

    I sweat a lot, but I don't like towel grips, it's about time to try again, but I always go back to PU grips. Most of them get very slippery even when using a wrist band, but those Adidas grips are way better. I can use them for around three hours without a wrist band before having to rotate rackets due to a slippery grip. There's a huge difference in color concerning the feeling and durability (lighter color is softer and less durable, white being an exception), but they are all fine for a much longer use than all other grips I've tried so far. The durability is not great and for sweaty hands, towel grip is better, but for someone who doesn't like towel grips, I really can recommend the Adidas grips for sweaty hands.

    Yeah well I really don't know what PU grip can actually surpass towel grip for sweaty hands :( what about Wilson Pro overgrip? Has anyone tried it vs super grap?

    Yeah I’ve used it, I think the yonex super grap is a lot better, once you start sweating with the Wilson grips, it slips just like most others I’ve used

    Surpass? None, probably, so if you don't mind towel grips, go for them. It's just the structure of the material (PU vs. Cotton) that gives a huge advantage to towel grips.

    I did. I disagree with the other reply and found Wilson Pro (white and pink)) superior compared to Super Grab (white and pink). I'm an ex-towelgrip user. I also use a wristband on my racket hand and it turned out better than towel. I needed often to switch rackets with towel grip and this powdering was really annoying. I also find the feel with on Overgrip better than with towel. Just try and take a look how it turns out for you, because people can feel different. :)

    Yeah I’m just looking for a grip aside from towel that won’t make the racket slip out my hand. Only thing that comes close is the tournament dry grip, it’s not as comfortable as a pu grip, can it keeps my racket from flying.lol

    Karakal grips seem to be the best for me. Comfortable feel, good grip and lasting. A bit on the pricey side, but I bought in bulk (24 in a box), so I had it cheaper.

    if you want u can try Tourna Grip- its a tennis grip but works fine on badminton racquets. Its a dry PU grip. Its not tacky like SuperGrap or Wilson Pro. It's only made in this blue/purplish colour.

    If u want cushion, take off base grip that comes with racquet and put few layers of Pro-Wrap on it. It will make it cushier
