Towel Grip

A badminton towel grip is a soft, absorbent cotton wrap that soaks up sweat and gives a thicker, cushioned feel in the hand. Our towel grip range includes the Yonex AC402EX single towel grip, Babolat Towel Grip X2, Yehlex 20 racket towel rolls and Ashaway towel rolls, so you can grip a single racket or regrip a whole club bag of rackets in one go.

When choosing a towel grip, think about how much your hands sweat, how thick you like your handle and how often you regrip. Single towel grips suit individual players, while a racket towel roll is better value for clubs and players who regrip often. Towel grip adds noticeable thickness, so many players fit it over a thin base grip, and a little grip powder helps it stay dry for longer. Our badminton grip guide explains how to regrip step by step. Prefer a tacky feel? Browse badminton overgrips or the full grips and grip tape range.

Towel Grip FAQs

Is towel grip good for badminton?

Yes, towel grip is popular with badminton players whose hands sweat a lot. The cotton absorbs moisture rather than becoming slippery, and it gives a soft, cushioned feel. The trade-off is that it adds thickness, collects dirt and needs replacing more often than a synthetic overgrip.

How often should you change a towel grip?

Change it when it feels hard, flattened or stays damp after you play. Regular players often replace a towel grip every few weeks, and players who sweat heavily may change it more often. Washing your hands before you play helps it last longer.

Do you put towel grip over a base grip?

Most players wrap towel grip directly onto the racket handle or over a thin base grip. Because towel grip is thick, putting it over a full replacement grip can make the handle too large. If you want a thicker handle, wrap it over the existing grip.

What is the difference between towel grip and overgrip?

Towel grip is made from absorbent cotton and feels soft and dry, while an overgrip is a thin synthetic wrap with a tacky or dry finish. Overgrips are thinner and cleaner; towel grip absorbs more sweat and gives a thicker, softer handle.
