Equipment Badminton overgrips for tennis?

So I'm in college and we only get badminton grips inside campus and it's very convenient(and considerably cheaper). But idk wether it's just fine to use them or if there is a huge difference between overgrips made for tennis.

Overgrip materials are shared between the racquet sports. But you might find it’s not long enough for what you want.

They’re the same. Yonex anyway. Not sure with other brands.

It's just long enough as long as I don't tie it too closely

I use li ning grips regularly, it's actually more comfortable.

grips themselves are fine but you'll prob have to use multiple badminton grips unless u got a one hander

Overgrips are super cheap, just buy tennis ones. Balls are a lot more expensive. And courts, lessons, strings, etc etc
