Babolat Super Tack Overgrip in depth

The Babolat Super Tack overgrip is a mainstay for players who demand a secure, confident hold on the racket no matter how intense the rally gets. Designed specifically for tennis and other racket sports, this overgrip wraps easily over an existing grip to add a tacky, cushioned layer that enhances feel and control. Its standout feature is the signature "super tack" texture, which delivers an almost sticky sensation to the palm, ensuring the racket doesn't twist or slip during aggressive swings, quick volleys, or extended baseline battles. This tackiness remains a defining trait of the product, setting it apart from smoother or more slippery alternatives on the market.

Excellent tackiness even during heavy sweating— Court notes, 13 sessions / 19h

Constructed from a thin yet durable synthetic material, the Babolat Super Tack overgrip strikes a balance between comfort and performance. It's slightly tacky to the touch even before use, and this quality intensifies with hand contact and heat, meaning the more you play, the more secure your grip becomes. The overgrip is also moisture-absorbing, wicking away sweat during long matches so that control isn't compromised even in humid conditions or high-intensity play. Despite its thin profile, it doesn't sacrifice cushioning, offering just enough padding to reduce vibration and protect the hand from blisters during repetitive strokes.

Easy to install and available in a variety of colors, the Babolat Super Tack overgrip is a favorite among both recreational players and professionals who want a reliable, replaceable layer of grip without altering the racket's handle size significantly. Its consistent tackiness and dependable durability make it a trusted choice for players across disciplines, from tennis to squash and badminton, wherever a secure grip is essential to performance. Many players choose to buy it in bulk, given its tendency to wear with heavy use, ensuring they always have a fresh, tacky surface ready for their next match. This overgrip has become something of an industry standard, frequently recommended by coaches and retailers alike for anyone serious about maintaining control and confidence in their racket sport of choice.

Great feel for the price

I've used these for years now. The tackiness is excellent right out of the pack and the thin profile means I don't lose any feel for my racket. Great value in a 3-pack.

Good but wears out quicker in humidity

Love the initial tack but during summer matches I find myself reapplying more often than I'd like. Still, for the price it's hard to beat.

JK Jonah K. Verified 20 May 2024

Solid everyday overgrip

Not the fanciest overgrip out there, but does the job well for club-level play. Easy to wrap and doesn't bunch up.

My go-to grip

I've tried other brands but keep coming back to Babolat Super Tack. The control it gives me during long rallies is unmatched at this price point.
