How to install your Undergrip

In this guide, we will show you how to fit your silicone undergrip quickly and properly.

STEP ONE

Remove

Start by removing your old overgrip

step two

Clean

Make sure the handle core is free from any loose debris. Pickleball paddles can have double-sided tape on the handle core - don't worry about trying to remove this and move on to the next step.

step three

Gel

We find that hand sanitising gel works well as a lubricant which evaporates away after use. And most of us still have some lying around after the pandemic. Apply a small amount evenly over the handle.

step four

Stretch

Stretch the narrower top opening of the undergrip, over the butt of the handle. With padel rackets, at this stage you need to thread the wrist strap down through the undergrip too.

step five

Pull

Start to pull the undergrip up the handle until it sits in the correct position. The gel will help the undergrip to slide, and it is stretchy enough to cope with a firm pull.

step six

Twist

Twist the undergrip as needed to align the corners properly and allow the shape to sit in your hand comfortably. The seam of the undergrip sits in the middle of a narrow side of the handle.

step seven

Wipe

Wipe away any excess gel and let everything settle into place. Your racket or paddle is now ready for an overgrip.
