Can’t hold your paddle properly? Worn-out and old pickelball grip? Maybe it is time to get a new one! The good news is, changing your grip is super simple. In the following guide, we will explain, step by step, how to replace your grip, why a good grip matters and how to choose the perfect grip for you. Let’s get started! Changing your sweet pickleball grip is a simple task that anyone can do on their own without any prior experience. All you need is a new grip, a scissor, and tape! Here’s how you can do it: Step 1: Remove old grip Take off the old, smelly grip from your paddle. Hold the end cap of your paddle with one hand and grab the grip tightly with the other. Deer it towards you, gently pulling it off the paddle. Be careful not to scratch or damage your paddle! Step 2: Clean the handle After you have successfully taken off the old grip, proceed to clean the handle of your paddle. Wipe it with a damp cloth. This way, any dirt, dust, or sticky residues will be removed, allowing the new grip to stick smoother.
So now you can slip on your fresh grip! Starting at the top of the handle, unroll your new grip. Start to wrap the grip around the handle, ensuring that each pass is tight and evenly spaced. Continue wrapping until you come to the bottom of the handle. This ensures that the grip is tight enough to not come off while playing.
Switching up your pickleball grip can give you a touch of excitement while enhancing your game on the court! Various grips can be felt differently and could make you play a better game of golf. As such, feel free to give these grips a shot:
Overgrip–An overgrip is basically a thin layer that you can apply on top of your current grip. This might add grip and help with moisture absorption. Overgrip: If you sweat a lot in long-match conditions, keeping a solid grip on your paddle can be challenging.
Perforated grip — A perforated grip contains small holes, giving the golfer a little more air circulation as they play. This helps ensure that your hands remain dry and will not be too sweaty for you to hold the paddle easily.
However, if you want to play better on the court then it may be time to change your grip(s)! A fresh grip can facilitate holding your paddle and aid in your shots. Here are simply some significant factor(s) why a varying grip should assist:
Wrong grip = bad quality — The grip you have on the dumbbell makes a huge difference. Choose one that you are comfortable to hold in hand as well as whether it has the kind of cushion or tack that you prefer.
