Bote Gel Bullpadel Crystal Grip

If you sweat through grips quickly or just want a thinner, tacky layer over your existing handle, this overgrip is worth keeping in a few in your bag. The Crystal Grip from Bullpadel is a gel-based overgrip designed to give you a secure, comfortable hold without adding much bulk.

At 38g, the whole tube is light enough to forget about until you need it. Gel overgrips sit in a middle ground between the dry, absorbent feel of a cotton overgrip and the slick tackiness of a standard PU grip. If you play in humid conditions or your hands tend to get damp during long matches, gel construction helps maintain grip feel longer than a basic overgrip would. It goes on over your existing base grip, so fitting it takes about two minutes and no tools.

This is not a replacement for a worn-out base grip. If your handle feels thin, hollow, or uncomfortable, replace the base grip first and then add this on top. It also will not suit players who prefer a very dry, rough texture, since gel overgrips lean tacky rather than absorbent.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this overgrip best suited to?

Players who want a thin, tacky layer over their existing grip, particularly those who find their hands get slippery during play or in warm weather.

How do I apply it correctly?

Start wrapping from the bottom of the handle at a slight angle, keeping tension consistent as you work upward, then secure the end with the finishing tape included in the tube.

How often should I replace it?

That depends on how often you play, but most players find a gel overgrip lasts between two and five sessions before the tackiness fades noticeably. Keep a spare in your bag.

Will it change the feel of my racket's balance or weight?

At 38g for the full tube, a single overgrip adds only a few grams to the handle end, which has a negligible effect on balance for most players.

Can I use this on any padel racket?

Yes. It fits standard padel handles and works over any existing base grip regardless of brand.
