Product Information
Full details
The Head Padel Pro Leather Overgrip is designed for serious padel players who prioritize maximum feedback and direct racquet control during high-intensity play. By utilizing genuine leather, this grip provides a distinct, firm tactile connection that synthetic alternatives often lack; however, players should note that leather lacks the moisture-wicking capabilities of synthetic grips and requires more frequent replacement to maintain its optimal tackiness.

FAQs
Is this overgrip suitable for beginners?
While beginners can use it, this grip is primarily aimed at experienced players who prefer a firm, thin feel over the soft cushion offered by synthetic grips.
Does this grip come in different colors?
This specific leather variant is designed for its material properties. For those seeking different aesthetics, Head offers various synthetic Padel Pro grip tapes in colors like Pink or Yellow.
How often should I replace the leather grip?
Replace it when the surface starts to lose its texture or becomes too smooth, which usually happens after 10 to 15 hours of heavy match play.
Will this make my handle size significantly larger?
No, because the leather is thinner than most standard synthetic overgrips, it adds very little bulk to the handle size.
Can I install this over an existing synthetic grip?
Yes, but be aware that layering it over a thick, soft synthetic grip will diminish the 'direct feel' benefit that leather is intended to provide.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels slippery during play
The leather may be saturated with sweat. Use a grip powder or rosin to enhance friction, or replace the overgrip if the surface has become permanently polished.
Edges are peeling up
Ensure the overlapping edges are tight and use the provided high-quality finishing tape to secure the final turn firmly.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the grip, ensure your current base grip is clean and dry. Start at the bottom of the handle, overlapping the edges by approximately 2-3mm to ensure a flat, smooth surface. Secure the end with the provided finishing tape.
Because this is natural leather, avoid storing your racquet in extremely damp or high-heat environments, as this can cause the material to harden or crack. If the grip becomes dirty, wipe it lightly with a barely damp cloth and air dry it away from direct sunlight. Once the grip loses its natural tackiness, it should be replaced to prevent the handle from slipping during play.
