Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between an overgrip and a replacement grip?

  Whilst they may seem similar, they serve very different functions. A replacement grip is a thick, cushioned grip that is applied directly to the wood of your badminton racket when the original grips have become worn. Overgrips, on the other hand, are applied to the current grip and can improve the tackiness of your grip or increase its over thickness, and are designed for those who want more control in their racket’s grip.

• How often should I change my overgrip?

  The best time to replace is when you find that the tackiness reduces or when the grip starts to show signs of wear and discolouration. You will start to notice that the overgrip needs replacing when you find it affects your performance. Some regular players may replace their overgrips every few weeks to ensure they maintain a secure and comfortable hold, but it very much comes down to how it affects performance

• Why is it important to use a racket cover for my badminton racket?

  Purchasing a badminton racket cover helps protect your racket and strings from dust, moisture and any temperature fluctuations, which can affect its performance. Also, a racket cover helps to maintain the string tension and prevents your racket from becoming scratched or chipped during transport.
