Samo Overgrips in the UK

Samo is a grip brand that's very popular among padel players in Spain, and in my opinion it's the best value-for-money overgrip on the market. I'm Samo's distributor in England, which means I bring them over directly and you can buy them here with fast UK delivery.

Why I like them

The feel is dry rather than tacky. A tacky grip feels great for the first few games, but once your hands start sweating it can turn slippery. A dry grip absorbs the sweat, so your hold stays the same from the first game to the last, and you don't need to squeeze the handle harder to keep the racket under control. They're non-perforated, 110 cm long and only come in white, which Samo uses because it resists wear better.

Which pack to choose

If you play a couple of times a week and change your grip every week or two, the 15-pack lasts a few months. If you go through grips faster, the 60-pack works out at about £1 per grip instead of £1.43, and ships free.

For clubs, coaches and shops

If you run a club, coach regularly or have a shop, I can set up a regular supply at trade prices so you don't have to reorder box by box. Get in touch and tell me roughly how many grips you go through each month.

Full transparency: as the distributor, I earn from every pack sold. I'd rather you know that and judge the grips for yourself.
