Pros of Using Grip Tape:
√ Better Sweat Absorption – Overgrips (like tennis-style perforated tape) help prevent slipping when your hands get sweaty.
√ Improved Comfort & Cushioning – Thicker grips reduce vibration and fatigue, especially for players with joint issues.
√ Customizable Thickness – If the stock grip is too thin, adding tape can improve control and fit your hand better.
√ Extends Paddle Life – Replacing worn-out grip tape is cheaper than replacing an entire paddle handle.
