This grip tape is for tennis rackets and associated sports but I found a different use for it… my kendo swords, it provides good grip without hurting my hands and so far seems to have good durability. If used for its intended purpose I would assume it would hold up reasonably well so I would recommend a try at least.
I got these to use for overgripping my pickleball paddle and they worked really well. They were longer than I needed for my relatively short-handled paddle and should be long enough for much longer handled paddles. I liked the cushioned feel and slight tackiness to this. I also use a glove which helps with sweaty hands too. I just applied this over the top of my existing smooth PU leather grip with no problems.
Stickiness is good
I used these on a pickleball paddle with grip length 5.3" and circumference of 4.125" I applied fairly tightly and had at least 4" remaining after trimming. The were easy to apply and stay in place well.The surface is fairly tacky and should work well for sweaty hands. There is good cushioning to make it a comfortable grip. I wear a glove so can't speak to it's absorbency but it seemed to hold up well even when my glove got a bit sweaty.The grip seems to be durable--no issues after playing regularly for several weeks. Would recommend this for most paddles.
Very grippy and very absorbent. Has a soft, supple feel. It slightly increases the grip thickness, so that may take a little getting used to, but if you're used to overgrip, it's not any thicker than others.You can see the pink gets pretty dirty looking. My photo is after around 72 games and the softness and grippiness are completely gone, so you'll have to replace it somewhat often to maintain the level of performance you need.
