How to Overgrip Pickleball Paddles (My New Method)
I have wrapped probably over a hundred paddles in the past few years with LOTS of trial and error. This is a method that I've developed that doesn't require any tools or cutting-- just a clean and easy method to get a tight, snug overgrip everytime.
This is my favorite grip set up:

My weak ass could only manage 45% Now it’s got more sloppy folds than my ex and I have to quit playing pickleball because I’m constantly thinking “I should call her” when I feel them 😢
Ordered a Hesacore grip per your recommendation and it came in today. Ordered the white (medium). Fairly easy to install with these instructions, however it didn’t go on quite as easily as the example in this video but either way it’s installed and in one piece! Thanks for the info and recommendation. Really looking forward to trying it out. I’m using a Palbea over grip and it feels awesome over the Hesacore. That’s a brand I would recommend you give a try if you haven’t already. They’re made in Italy and extremely tacky. I’m of the belief that the tackier the over grip the better. Great combination of the two. Thanks again for the info.
Thank you SO MUCH for this detailed guide on how to do it. Appreciate it so much.
Hi Ed. Please note for left hand players you need to wrap the over grip the opposite direction.

Ursino by wrapping the opposite direction for left hand players. Y0u will have a better grip on your paddle and your will feel the contour of the grip and it wont slip in your hands because the ridges from the overgrip are facing the inside of your hand. I hope this makes sense@@UrsinoPro

Great video. Need to do it this way. Thanks
Thanks Ed. Great instructions and detail.
Hey Ed I love your videos - curious if you have ever tried to use the tapered side of the over wrap towards the paddle face (top of the grip) rather than starting with the taper side at the bottom of the grip? I’m asking because i noticed you are stretching it to make it taper but the taper is already built into the design. I’ve found it works nicely with the U-Drippin over wraps. Take care!! 🙏🏻
You prefer this extra small or the Carbon on the Luxx?
thanks! i really like these grips.

The Ed ju method haha the grip that comes on the paddles is wrapped the same way
Niceee and thank you for sharing it !
Ed, on the Udrippin site it shows all the grips (white sold out) and Pro Dry Over grips which are only available in red and pink. Is that the pro dry overgrip your showing in the video or there regular grip? Thanks.

Just checked their site- they have purple magic, teal, blue, red, neon, yellow available for pro tour grips. I just ordered some of those colors myself. Anything that says “pro tour” is gonna be the same as the white one.

@edjupickleball Thanks Ed, was confused seeing the Pro grip and the overgrip on there site as to which you were showing.
How often do you replace your luxx paddle? I wanna invest in one but am afraid it won’t last long (in terms of the grit)
@UrsinoPro

I've been using mine 3 times per week since it was released and it is still pretty gritty.

The paint grit on mine lasts about 4-5 months until it’s pretty smooth. Selkirk will replace it for free the first time as a courtesy. And then after that you need a legit defect to get a replacement. Raw carbon fiber typically lasts a bit longer than paint grit. Wait for the vanguard control- coming soon 👀
Hi Ed. Do you need to add an overgrip tape over a Hesacore cover? Thanks
@edjupickleball

Yup! Definitely put an overgrip
Ed, what do you think about Tournagrip (blue) overgrip on the Hesacore? Especially since it have as much stretch as other overgrips.

I’m not a huge fan of the blue grip. I prefer tacky feeling over dry feeling.
I don't get why paddles don't just automatically come with the hesacore

Do you have to wrap the hesaxore grip? What if you just left it alone? Prolly wear down super fast maybe?
@CurtPrice

You always wrap the hesacore grip. It's not meant to be used without an overwrap.
how much does your paddle weigh with the hescore and overgrip now?
@edjupickleball
5 ай бұрын
8.3 oz for this exact set up. Stock paddle - 8.0 oz Removing stock grip + adding hesacore + adding overgrip netted about .3 oz
Am I the weird one that grip it the other way where the sticky part is at the end instead of the beginning? This way I don't have to use the sticker 😅

That's how I grip my tennis rackets. But for pickleball, I do it sticky side first.
I suck at the very last part. When I pull at 100% to rip the grip , it’s still the same width as it started .

Carry a small pair of scissors in your bag. I do. Comes in very handy, and you don't have to pull to tear your grips.
I watched another video said on the tapered end the sticky part goes on the outside to stick to the first wrap. 🤷🏼♂️

Interesting! I haven’t heard that before. Wouldn’t the overgrip be inside out then with the tackiness on the inside of the wrap? 🤔

Maybe I'm naive or something, but my paddle came with a perfectly good grip. Why do I need to cover it with a condom shaped thing from part one and this over grip? I'm serious, why is any of this beneficial?

The hesacore grip replaces the stock grip. You remove the stock grip and put the hesacore grip on. And overgrips are used to customize your paddle to provide extra tackiness if desired, and a thicker handle if desired. It also prolongs the life of the stock grip. Overgrips are pretty cheap compared to the stock grips and easy to replace. You can essentially refresh your grip with a new, tacky overgrip every day if you want. But typically they last a lot longer then that. Personal preference on how often you replace them.

Stock grips are too thin people usually add an over grip for more tackiness and it’s easily replaceable

Imo the best way to do this is to take a ruler and width wise market with a pencil exactly half of the width of the grip where the taper ends. What this does is it allows you to see your overlap percentage after the first 360 degrees by seeing how much space there is under the mark or whether or not you can see the mark at all. If you perfectly wrap it to barely cover the mark you will be left with a perfect 50% overlap and if you just follow the wrap down your grip wont have any bumps or valleys it will be completely smooth all the way down. This is accomplished since when one layer ends another begins so there is always just 2 layers not one or 3 that way I can feel the hesacore underneath instead if the hesacore plus all the ridges and valleys I made with a non perfect 50/50 overlap.

I think this is overkill. Overwraps can be eyeballed when applied. Super easy to get the overlap you want. No need to bring pencils and rulers into this. 😂

55% sir is a joke. Ain't nobody can calculate the difference between 50/5 or 60% of any other number.
