HEAD Pro Grip Sweat Absorption Overgrip
Overview
The HEAD Pro overgrip is an ultra thin dry overwrap built for tennis players with sweaty hands. At just 0.45mm thick, it is the thinnest grip in the HEAD range. Thousands of micropores absorb moisture to keep your handle dry through long matches.
Most overgrips fall into two camps. Tacky grips add stickiness, while dry grips soak up sweat. The HEAD Pro overgrip sits firmly in the dry camp. The sanded surface stays dry even as your hands heat up. That makes it a strong choice for summer tennis and humid courts.
Each pack holds three grips and three HEAD finishing tapes. The grip measures 99cm long and 2.9cm wide. The extra length suits two-handed backhand players who need more wrap. You get a clean, dry feel from the first point to the last.
Features
- Stays dry in the heat: thousands of micropores pull sweat away so your hand keeps a firm hold.
- Ultra thin profile: at 0.45mm it barely changes your handle size or feel.
- Added length: the 99cm strip gives two-handed players room to wrap fully.
- Soft sanded surface: feels plush in the hand and lowers blister risk on long sessions.
- Three per pack: rewrap more often for a fresh dry feel every match.
- Tape included: three HEAD finishing tapes hold each wrap firmly in place.
Design and Materials
The HEAD Pro overgrip uses a soft, cloth-like dry material with a lightly sanded finish. Run your thumb across it and you feel a fine, matte texture. This surface is what makes the grip work. Thousands of tiny micropores trap sweat instead of letting it pool on the handle.
At 0.45mm, this is the thinnest grip HEAD makes. You keep close contact with the racket bevels for better feel. The trade-off is less cushioning than a thicker tacky grip. If you want padding over dryness, a cushioned overgrip may suit you better. Many sweaty-hand players still rank this dry surface alongside Tourna Grip for absorption.
Key Technologies
Micropore Surface: Thousands of tiny pores draw sweat off your palm. This keeps the handle dry and your hold secure in heat.
Sanded Dry Finish: A soft matte texture grips your hand when wet. It avoids the slick feel that tacky grips get once sweat builds.
Ultra Thin Build: At 0.45mm this is the thinnest grip HEAD makes. You feel the racket bevels clearly for better shot control.
Extended Length: The 99cm strip covers the full handle. That gives two-handed players enough wrap with none to spare.

VKS Review
We rate the HEAD Pro overgrip as a top dry grip for hot weather. In testing, the dry feel held up well through long baseline rallies. The hand stays planted even when sweat builds. It sits close to Tourna Grip XL on absorption, but feels softer and more comfortable in hand.
This grip suits players with sweaty palms or anyone playing in humid heat. If you prefer a sticky, tacky feel, a Wilson Pro Overgrip may suit you more. Pop into our London store in Ealing to feel the texture before you buy. Our team can fit it for you on the day.
Q&A Section
Is the HEAD Pro overgrip good for sweaty hands?
Yes, it is built for sweaty hands. The micropore surface absorbs moisture to keep the handle dry. It works best in hot or humid conditions.
Does this overgrip feel dry or tacky?
It has a dry feel, not a tacky one. The sanded surface stays matte and grippy when wet. Choose a tacky grip if you prefer a sticky hold.
How many grips are in the pack?
Each pack contains three overgrips. It also includes three HEAD finishing tapes. That gives you three full rewraps.
Will it make my handle thicker?
Barely, since it is only 0.45mm thick. It is the thinnest grip in the HEAD range. Your bevels stay easy to feel through the wrap.
Which players does the extra length suit?
The 99cm length suits two-handed backhand players. It gives enough wrap to cover the longer grip area. Single-handed players still have plenty to work with.
Can I use it for padel or squash?
Yes, it fits padel and squash handles too. The dry feel helps in any racket sport where hands sweat. Just trim any excess at the top of the handle.
How long does the dry feel last?
The HEAD Pro overgrip stays dry longer than many thin or tacky grips. Most players rewrap after a few sessions for the freshest feel. Heavy sweaters may change it more often.
