Overgrip for Dry Hands?

[Fluffy_Skye]

My hands don't sweat when I play and the weather is extremely dry where I am. I am already using hand lotion and it's not good enough. If I play regularly, my skin gets seriously chafed. I saw somewhere people said the tackier the overgrip is, the less absorbent it is. I have the Tourna Mega Tac and it indeed doesn't suck the moisture out of my hand as strongly as Wilson Pro Overgrip or Head Prime Tour. Funnily, I find overgrips like Wilson Pro and Head Prime Tour more comfortable when they stick to some dust and lose some of their absorbing power. The problem is Tourna Mega Tac is much shorter in length which makes it hard for me to wrap it in my usual way. Can anyone recommend a grip that doesn't make my hand look like dry cracked land? Thanks.

you have to stretch mega tac as you wrap it. It it will cover an entire grip if you stretch it

It's way too short. To pull it to sufficient length, it starts to tear.

not sure what to tell you. Mega Tac is my primary overgrip and I use it on regular and extended length racquets and it covers them all. I don’t do anything other than pull it so it stretches slightly on every wrap. Also make sure you keep the overlaps small.

I use Mega Tac on my extended and regular length racquets as well and there's plenty left over at the end. I don't cut the overgrip in any way. I do minimal pulling in the beginning just to keep the ridges to a minimum.

If you must insist on another dry hand overgrip, Dunlop Super Tac is a close second. I find it has a very slightly firmer feel though.

Switch to a one-handed backhand, then it doesn't matter if the grip makes it all the way up the handle or not, that's how I use mega tac!
