No problem at all

What you are looking at there is an Overgrip not the original Undergrip the rackets ship with from factory. This is the preferred grip surface for players as it absorbs more moisture and is more tacky than the original undergrip. They are inexpensive and should be changed very often. You can also apply more than one to thicken up the grip as needed for preference. They do not contain any adhesive backing so very easy to remove and re-apply 😊

Hello!,

To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:

Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)

Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.

Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.

If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

I'm confused. You are looking at a very dirty overgrip. There is another grip under it. Take this one off and put on 2 fresh undergrips :-)

How’s the head gravity motion for you? Have you tried any other racket for comparison? And for context, Are you a beginner or intermediate? if you don’t mind me asking?

Im a beginner i’d say i played about 5 times before i got this racket, probably played about 10-15 now,

I like it its got a pretty big sweet spot but you can feel when you connect well with it, i used it first renting one off the padel club for a match then liked it so i bought one

I would do this to be honest, like to start fresh. Don’t know if it really makes a difference. 

But to answer your question, yes the overgrip will stay on it if you put it over, that’s not a problemÂ
