How to Wrap an Overgrip?
1: If you have one, remove your old overgrip from your racket.
2: Unroll a new overgrip and remove the plastic from the back, the sticky side will face out when you wrap it on the racket handle.
3: When you unroll the overgrip you will see a long piece of grip tape rolled on the inside. Set that aside but keep in handy, you’ll need it at the end.
4: Locate the adhesive tab on the tapered end of the overgrip, this will hold the overgrip in place at the bottom of your racket as you begin to wrap it.
5: Now’s the fun part, it’s time to wrap! Stick the adhesive tab to the bottom of your racket and start wrapping from left to right.
6: Start slow… make one full wrap along the bottom, then begin to overlap as you move up the racket handle. Each overlap area should be between 1/8 and ¼ inch.
7: Pull the overgrip tightly to avoid wrinkles as you wrap it around and up the handle of your racket.
8: Wrap all the way to the top of the handle, to the top of your replacement grip.
9: You will probably have a little extra overgrip at the top. You can either continue to wrap around the top or use scissors to remove the excess.
10: Grab that grip tape you set aside in the beginning and wrap it around the top of the handle to secure the grip in place.
11: That’s it! Your racket is all ready to hit the court!
