Pickleball Grips & Tape
The only connection between you and the paddle. Upgrade your handle with VukGripz for maximum friction in humid conditions, or choose Cushioned Grips (Lizard Skins) for comfort and sweat absorption.

Grip Guide: Don't Let It Slip
In pickleball, your grip pressure dictates your game. A slippery handle forces you to squeeze too hard, which kills your "soft hands" for dinking and leads to tennis elbow.
1. VukGripz (Friction)
If you play in humid weather or sweat heavily, this is the solution. It uses micro-texture to "lock" into your hand (or glove). It allows you to relax your grip pressure entirely, increasing wrist speed and control.
2. Cushioned / Overgrips
If you prefer a soft, squishy feel, stick with Lizard Skins or standard overgrips. They excel at vibration dampening and provide a tacky, comfortable surface that feels familiar to tennis players.
