Dry tennis overgrips
Dry overgrips have a moisture-absorbing finish — no sticky tackiness, just a soft coating that soaks up sweat to keep the racquet steady in your hand. They suit cooler conditions, lighter sweaters, and players who prefer a clean, paper-like feel under the fingers. Wilson Pro Overgrip in its dry variants is the most-sold dry overgrip in tennis. Babolat Syntec Pro and Tecnifibre Dry Pro are equally popular alternatives.
How to choose
For a clean, dry feel year-round, the Wilson Pro Overgrip (in any colour) is the perennial best-seller. For grippier dry options, Babolat Syntec Pro. Cross-shop with our tacky overgrips if you sweat heavily.
Frequently asked questions
Are dry overgrips less grippy than tacky?
For dry hands, no — they grip well. For wet/sweaty hands, tacky overgrips outperform dry by a clear margin.
How often should I replace a dry overgrip?
Every 2-4 weeks for regular players. Dry overgrips often outlast tacky ones because the coating doesn't degrade as fast.
Which is the most popular dry overgrip?
The Wilson Pro Overgrip — it's the all-time best-selling overgrip in tennis, ranked #1 in many global markets.
Can I use a dry overgrip in summer?
You can, but you'll likely re-grip more often as sweat saturates the coating faster. Tacky overgrips suit hot summer play better.
Are dry overgrips good for juniors?
Excellent — clean feel, low cost in multipacks, and they don't get sticky in normal junior conditions.
