VIBEPADEL: These overgrips will change the way you play padel

If you have yet to be acquainted with padel, let us be the first to introduce you. Padel is a type of racquet sport that was invented in Mexico in 1969. 

It has been described as a mix between squash and tennis, as the ball bounces off a glass wall or a metallic mesh that surrounds the court.

Padel is the world’s fastest-growing racquet sport, and it’s well on its way to becoming an Olympic sport too.

Which is exactly why VIBEPADEL was born. Based in London, VIBEPADEL’s founder was frustrated with poor-quality padel equipment, and had a desire to enhance the sport. Thus, VIBEPADEL’s first product, the overgrip, was created.

The Grip 'n' Rip Overgrip was developed with a unique three-layer technology that allows padel players to have great grip, comfort and durability while they’re playing the game.

As it was designed specifically for padel racquets – but can be used for pickleball, badminton, and squash racquets too – the Grip 'n' Rip Overgrip avoids unnecessary waste as it eliminates the need for cutting, which give its a sustainability boost along with a perfect fit.

VIBEPADEL’s selection of overgrips also come in a vast range of colours and designs, which allows for some personal expression on court.

The grips have been endorsed by professionals such as UK pro Jake Bewley, and padel centres such as RocksLane and Padel4All.

With a top PU layer, the grips have been designed for precision and control, and the cushioning adds an extra level of comfort for long games. The overgrips are also fitted with a microfibre layer for sweat absorption, to ensure players’ hands stay dry and comfortable, which further enhances the grip.

The Grip 'n' Rip Overgrip comes in packs of three for a wallet-friendly £9.99, making it accessible for both padel amateurs and pros. The team at VIBEPADEL is also working on their very own racquet which is coming soon, so watch this space.
