Bonelli overgrips: which one for your hand

Bonelli makes racket accessories, and most of this collection is overgrips. All of them are polyurethane and fit both tennis and padel rackets. The single overgrip measures 120 cm by 2.5 cm, about 0.6 mm thick.

• Racket Overgrip 1 Pack: a tacky, non-slip surface that soaks up sweat, in white, black, pink, lilac and chartreuse.
• Racket Overgrips 3 Pack: three of the same grips in one pack, in white, black or pink, so you always have a fresh one.
• Perforated Overgrip: micro-perforated for more airflow, made for players who play hard in high heat.

Racket protectors: padel and tennis are sized differently

A protector is an adhesive strip that wraps the edge of the frame to shield it from chips and scratches. Bonelli cuts separate ones for each sport.

The padel protectors come in Pro Shine with a glossy finish, Pro Matte at about 500 mm by 45 mm, a carbon-pattern Zigzag, a Zigzag Clear and a plain Clear strip. They guard the frame against walls, glass and the court floor. The Tennis Racket Protector Pro Matte is 400 mm by 30 mm, sized for a standard tennis head.

The dampener

The Bonelli Tennis Dampener is a small rubber piece that sits between the strings. It cuts string buzz and softens the feel at contact.

If you play padel twice a week, start with the 3 Pack overgrips and a Pro Matte padel protector. Heavy sweaters should try the perforated grip. Find more in padel accessories, tennis accessories and overgrips.
