Tourna Pickleball Grips are designed for players who want dependable control without adding unnecessary bulk to their paddle handle. At just .44mm thick, this ultra-thin overgrip wraps over the paddle’s existing grip to create a comfortable, responsive connection between your hand and the paddle. The slim profile helps preserve the natural feel and shape of the handle while giving players an added layer of grip performance where it matters most.
What makes Tourna Grip especially distinctive is the way it performs as your hands begin to sweat. Rather than relying on an aggressively sticky surface from the moment you pick up your paddle, the grip begins with Tourna’s characteristic dry feel. As moisture increases during play, the grip becomes tackier, helping you maintain confident contact with the paddle through long rallies, demanding points, and intense matches.
Sweat can quickly become a problem when a paddle grip allows moisture to remain against the hand. Tourna addresses this with proprietary moisture-management technology designed to draw perspiration through the grip rather than allowing it to collect against your palm. This helps reduce the slippery sensation that can develop when a conventional tacky surface becomes wet. The result is a grip engineered to maintain control even as the pace and intensity of the game increase.
That extra security can make a meaningful difference in how confidently you swing the paddle. A more stable connection helps players concentrate on their shots instead of adjusting their grip or worrying about the paddle shifting in their hand. Whether you are driving the ball from the baseline, reacting quickly at the kitchen line, or putting away an overhead, Tourna Pickleball Grips are made to provide consistent feel and reliable control throughout play.
Each grip is cut specifically to fit the dimensions of a pickleball paddle handle. There is no need to start with an oversized piece of material and trim away the excess. The pickleball-specific length simplifies installation, reduces unnecessary waste, and makes it easier to achieve a clean wrap around the handle.
Tourna Grip has also earned the confidence of elite-level players, including professional pickleball standout Tyson McGuffin. Its combination of thin construction, moisture management, and sweat-activated tack makes it particularly well suited for players who want their grip to become more secure as conditions become more demanding.
The familiar blue grip features a textured feel and is engineered for players who value both comfort and feedback from the paddle. Because the material is only .44mm thick, it can improve grip security without substantially changing the size of the handle. This is especially useful for players who like the existing dimensions of their paddle grip and do not want a thick overgrip to alter the way the handle sits in their hand.
Each package includes two grips along with finishing tape for securing the wrap once installation is complete. Tourna Pickleball Grips are proudly made in the USA and combine a simple design with performance-driven technology developed to help players maintain control when sweat and demanding play would otherwise make gripping the paddle more difficult.
For pickleball players looking for an ultra-thin overgrip that handles moisture differently from a traditional tacky grip, Tourna offers a proven approach: start dry, manage sweat, and become tackier as you play.
