Description
The Tecnifibre ATP Pro Players Overgrip in white is built for one purpose — keeping your hands dry when the match gets intense. Unlike tacky overgrips that rely on stickiness for grip security, the Pro Players uses Tecnifibre’s Hydrocell Bond technology to pull sweat away from your palm at 5 times the speed of a standard overgrip. This is the grip used by Tecnifibre-sponsored professionals on the ATP and WTA tours, and it performs exactly the same way in your hands during weekend tournaments or daily practice sessions at your local club.
HYDROCELL BOND TECHNOLOGY — WHAT MAKES THE TECNIFIBRE ATP PRO PLAYERS OVERGRIP DIFFERENT
How Hydrocell Works
Most overgrips use a simple polyurethane layer that sits on top of the replacement grip. When sweat builds up, this layer becomes slippery because the moisture has nowhere to go. The Tecnifibre Pro Players Overgrip solves this with Hydrocell Bond — a specialized construction where the polyurethane is bonded at a molecular level to create micro-channels that actively evacuate humidity from the grip surface. This is not just absorption where the grip soaks up sweat and becomes heavy. The moisture is pulled through the material and dispersed, so the surface stays dry and functional for longer periods of play.
5x Faster Moisture Absorption for Indian Summers
Tennis in India means dealing with temperatures above 35°C for most of the playing season. Cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Chandigarh see extreme heat from March through September, and even early morning sessions generate significant sweat. The Tecnifibre Pro Players Overgrip absorbs moisture 5 times faster than a conventional overgrip, which translates to a grip surface that stays dry and reliable when you need it most. Players who have tried Wilson Pro Overgrip or Yonex Super Grap and found them getting slippery after 30-40 minutes of hard hitting will notice a clear difference with the Hydrocell technology.
ON-COURT PERFORMANCE AND FEEL
Dry Feel Tennis Overgrip for Clean Ball Striking
A dry grip surface changes the way you hold and swing the racket. With a dry feel tennis overgrip like the Pro Players, your fingers maintain a natural, relaxed hold without needing to squeeze the handle for security. This reduced grip pressure directly improves wrist flexibility, which means more racket head speed on serves and groundstrokes. Many coaches recommend dry overgrips specifically for players working on their serve technique, because a relaxed grip allows the wrist to snap naturally through the contact zone without the fear of the racket slipping.
Tennis Racket Overgrip With Ultra-Thin 0.5mm Profile
At 0.5mm, this is one of the thinnest overgrips in the market. The ultra-thin profile means you feel every vibration and feedback from the string bed, which is critical for players who rely on touch and feel — especially at the net during volleys, drop shots, and half-volleys. Unlike thicker overgrips that add cushion but mask the racket’s response, the 0.5mm thickness on the Tecnifibre ATP Pro Players Overgrip keeps your connection to the racket as direct as possible. For players with smaller grip sizes (L1 or L2), this minimal thickness is a major advantage since it does not significantly increase the handle circumference.
DURABILITY AND REPLACEMENT CYCLE
The Tecnifibre ATP Pro Players Overgrip holds up well under regular play. For club players training 3-4 times per week, each overgrip typically lasts 8-12 hours of active court time before the absorption capacity starts to decline. The white color makes it easy to track wear — when the grip starts turning grey or shows visible dirt buildup, it is time for a fresh wrap. With 3 overgrips in this pack, most regular players will have enough supply for 3-4 weeks of consistent play, depending on intensity and weather conditions.
WHO SHOULD CHOOSE THIS OVERGRIP
This tennis racket overgrip is designed for players who sweat heavily and prefer a dry, non-sticky grip feel. If you have tried tacky overgrips and found them getting gummy or uncomfortable when wet, the Pro Players dry feel approach is the better option for your playing style. It is especially suited for serve-and-volley players, aggressive baseliners who generate a lot of racket head speed, and anyone playing regular outdoor tennis in hot Indian weather. The overgrip works on all standard tennis rackets — whether you play with Tecnifibre, Wilson, Babolat, Head, or Yonex frames.
PRO PLAYERS VS PRO CONTACT — CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECNIFIBRE OVERGRIP
Tecnifibre offers two main overgrip lines, and picking the right one depends on your grip preference. The Pro Players uses Hydrocell technology for a dry, absorbent feel at 0.5mm thickness. The Pro Contact uses Wax Resin technology for a tacky, sticky feel at 0.6mm thickness. If your primary concern is sweat management and you want a grip that stays dry, choose the Pro Players. If you want a sticky surface that locks the racket in your hand regardless of sweat, the Pro Contact is the better fit. Many competitive players keep both in their bag and switch based on weather conditions — Pro Players for hot summer days and Pro Contact for cooler, drier sessions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. Is the Tecnifibre ATP Pro Players Overgrip tacky or dry?
Ans. The Tecnifibre ATP Pro Players Overgrip is a dry feel overgrip. It uses Hydrocell Bond technology for fast sweat absorption rather than a tacky or sticky surface. If you want a tacky grip, look at the Tecnifibre Pro Contact Overgrip instead.
Q2. What is the difference between Pro Players and Pro Contact?
Ans. The Pro Players overgrip is dry and absorbent (Hydrocell technology, 0.5mm), while the Pro Contact is tacky and sticky (Wax Resin coating, 0.6mm). Pro Players is better for heavy sweaters, and Pro Contact is better for players who want a locked-in grip feel.
Q3. How thick is this overgrip?
Ans. The Tecnifibre ATP Pro Players Overgrip has a thickness of 0.5mm, which is thinner than most overgrips on the market. This ultra-thin profile preserves your original grip size and maximizes the feel and feedback from your racket.
Q4. How often should I replace this overgrip?
Ans. For regular players hitting 3-4 times a week, replacing the overgrip every 8-12 hours of play is recommended. In hot, humid weather or if you sweat heavily, you may need to replace it sooner. The white color helps you visually track wear and know when a fresh grip is needed.
Q5. Will this overgrip work on badminton rackets?
