How to Improve Your Grip When Sweating

Introduction
Sweaty hands are a common issue in padel, especially during intense games or in hot weather. But there are several ways to manage sweat and keep your grip firm. Here’s how you can maintain control even when the heat is on.

1. Use a High-Absorption Overgrip
The easiest way to combat sweat is by using a high-quality, moisture-wicking overgrip. Bold’s overgrips are designed with sweat absorption in mind, so you can focus on your game without worrying about slippage.

2. Swap Grips During the Match
If you're playing a long or intense match, it’s a good idea to have a spare overgrip handy. Change it out if you notice the grip becoming too saturated with sweat. This simple trick can make a big difference in how you perform late in the game.

3. Use Talcum Powder or a Towel
Keep a small towel and some talcum powder in your bag. Between points or games, dry your hands and apply a little powder to reduce sweat. This will give you a better grip and more confidence in your shots.

Conclusion
Don’t let sweaty hands hinder your game. With the right overgrip, spare equipment, and simple tricks like using a towel or powder, you can improve your grip and stay in control during any match.
