Tourna Grip Original XL 30-Pack: Dry Feel for Sweaty Hands

Thirty overgrips is a commitment to one particular feel. The Tourna Grip Original XL 30-pack pairs the brand's light-blue wrap with a zippered pouch of replacements. It is worth considering for regular tennis when sweaty hands prompt you to rethink the surface you hold, and for players who already use Original across several rackets.

This is an overgrip: a replaceable outer wrap on the racket's existing grip. Changing that outer layer lets you renew the surface your hand touches while keeping the grip underneath in place. The material you add also affects how the handle sits in your hand.

Dry feel as play warms up

Tourna describes Original as starting with a dry feel and becoming tackier as it takes on sweat. The company also describes the material as wicking moisture through the grip. That is the design's central appeal for someone whose handle becomes less comfortable to hold during a warm session.

Think about when the problem shows up. A grip that feels pleasant when you first pick up the racket may feel different after you have been playing. Notice whether you mainly want more immediate stickiness, or whether handling sweat during play is the issue. That distinction helps you decide whether Original's dry starting texture addresses your own preference.

Tourna's range includes several grip formulations as well as XL and XXL versions of Original. Look for Original Dry Feel and XL together when replenishing this pack. Someone seeking a distinctly sticky surface from the first touch may prefer a different formulation; choose according to the feel you want during play.

A wrap you fit to the handle

The way you apply an overgrip matters alongside the material. Extra overlap creates more layering, which can make the finished handle feel different. On a racket whose grip size already suits you, pay attention to how much the new wrap changes that familiar hold. Adjust the overlap with that result in mind.

Tennis Warehouse's staff guide describes starting at the bottom of the handle, working upward with overlapping turns, then trimming excess material and securing the top with finishing tape. This pack includes finishing tape. Keep it within reach so you can secure the end once the wrap feels right.

With the racket in your normal hold, check that the wrap covers the areas your hands contact, including higher up the handle for a two-handed stroke. Take care over that first fitting and use its result as a reference when you replace the wrap later.

If you rotate between two rackets, consider each handle separately. The underlying grip and the amount of overlap both contribute to the final feel. Using the same overgrip lets you repeat one part of the setup, while the handles may still differ in size or shape. Aim for a comfortable result on each racket.

Keep the next replacement ready

The vinyl pouch holds the unused grips together and closes with a zipper. Give it a regular place in your tennis bag so it is easy to find while packing or preparing a racket. The open-pouch photo shows how the grip material sits inside, with the finishing tape alongside it.

Quantity matters most when replacement is already a routine. Frequent practice or a household of players who like the same wrap can give a larger pack a clear purpose. Work from how often you actually change grips. Thirty strips do not establish how many matches or months the pack will cover for you.

If your current overgrip remains comfortable and you play occasionally, a large refill supply may have little urgency. A smaller Original pack lets you settle your preference before buying thirty. For an established user, this pouch earns its place by keeping the next wrap available for the rackets that regularly go back to court.
