GAMMA Tacky Towel for Tennis, Pickleball, Padel, Golf, Baseball, Non-Toxic Grip Enhancer, Improves Control, Long-Lasting Anti-Slip Formula, USTA Approved, 8"x5"

Simple but does exactly what you need. Keeps my paddle handle clean and grippy.

I love playing pickle ball, but noticed that my hands can get slippery when playing out especially in the sun. What you do is you place this cloth and press over your current grip. It leaves tacky residue so that you have an extremely good grip. It’s not the tacky annoying feeling That you might expect. It Is sticky, but not in an annoying way. The bag it comes with is a little small so I remove the cloth and placed it in a larger Ziploc bag. Not sure how long this will last but I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it is still very effective. You don’t have to press that much onto the grip as a little goes along way. I find that I need to reapply maybe once every 3 to 5 matches, which is pretty good. Will definitely buy in the future and make sure I have this in my Pickleball bag when I’m out playing

Great towel for these hot Florida days in the pickleball court.

I purchased this product for use while playing tennis. My hands get significantly sweaty especially during the summer months while on the court, making it hard to hold the racquet firmly, so I have been searching for a solution for a long time. Towels don't really absorb all of the sweat after a while (and get disgusting if you don't wash them every single time you play) and it's hard to avoid wiping sweat from your brow over 1-2 hours of regular play. A friend who has issues with grip strength suggested using this product, and it really does work well. There's an aspect of absorbtion that occurs, and also a transfer of stickyness to your hands, which solves the slipping caused by the sweat. The stickiness is mild - you don't have any problems moving the racquet in your hands if you need to - and does not leave a lot of residue on your hands, so it doesn't feel like you just dribbled glue on your hands or something. The stickness wears off after a little while, which is usually long enough to get you through several games or even a set, depending on how hot it is, so I generally just grab the towel and squeeze it in my hand on changeovers and I'm good to go. If you have regular breaks in whatever sport you are playing (and really, what sport doesn't) then you should be able to do the same without much inconvenience.I'm only giving this product 4/5 stars because of the slight resistance you get when you move whatever you are holding. Which is only natural, since your hands are now sticky. But if you have to have clean motion with whatever you are holding, for example gripping and throwing a baseball-then this will probably not work for you. But for anything that you just need to grip and not rotate in or release from your hand during your motion - like a tennis racquet or a baseball bat - then this would work well. I'd imagine that it's probably not appropriate for basketball or football-where you need to adjust your grip quickly and throw the ball - but racquet or stick-based sports could really benefit.

This material is VERY tacky. You either love it (gives you a very sturdy feel on your grip) or it’s way too sticky!!! Sheets can be cut into more useable pieces!

I LOVE the tacky grip and have bought them for tennis friends because they work so well! One towel will usually last me one fall season of women’s and then the summer season of mixed before losing its good tackiness. Not bad for the price! If it wasn’t so hot in the summer and my hands sweated less this would last longer. So for those of you who don’t live in hot humid climates, it may last even longer for you.I will say, I do place it back in the little bag after every match to keep it from sticking to items in my tennis bag which would cause it to lose tackiness and pick up unnecessary lint, etc…

Life saver is you sweat a lot. I end up applying it to my hand between games/sets. Just the right amount of tackiness.

Bought this for pickleball. Works as described. Works for about 3-5 games then reapply.Have two and love them.
