Dunlop Overgrips Review
All overgrips are reviewed by hand and tested during play.
Dunlop Tour Pro
Dunlop overgrips are generally positioned as practical and performance-oriented rather than experimental. The brand focuses on delivering a dependable grip feel that works consistently across different playing conditions.
Most Dunlop padel overgrips aim for a balanced surface — neither extremely tacky nor fully dry. This makes them suitable for players who want a secure hold without the grip becoming sticky as hands warm up during play.
Durability is one of the defining traits of Dunlop overgrips. Compared to very soft or highly perforated models, they tend to wear more evenly, which can be an advantage for players who train frequently and prefer not to replace overgrips after every few sessions.
Although Dunlop originated outside padel, its overgrips translate well to the sport due to similar handle requirements and the importance of grip stability during fast rallies.

Manufacturing & materials
Dunlop overgrips are typically made from polyurethane, the standard material for modern overgrips. Manufacturing locations may vary depending on the product line and production batch. When exact origin matters, it should be verified directly on the packaging.
