Tourna overgrips are strongly associated with a dry, absorbent grip feel. Unlike many brands that focus on tackiness or softness, Tourna prioritizes moisture absorption and slip prevention when hands are wet. This design philosophy has made the brand especially popular among players who sweat heavily.
The most distinctive characteristic of Tourna overgrips is that they tend to feel drier during play than when new. As moisture builds, the surface often improves in grip rather than becoming slippery or sticky. This behavior is different from tacky overgrips, which can change significantly once exposed to sweat.
Tourna overgrips are typically thinner and more utilitarian in feel. They do not aim to add cushioning or softness to the handle, instead preserving a more direct connection with the racket. This appeals to players who want maximum control and minimal interference from the grip itself.
Although Tourna originated in tennis, its overgrips are commonly used in padel due to similar handle requirements and the high importance of sweat management in padel matches.
