Overgrip for sweaty hands...

I sweat A LOT, and I tried Tourna grip and it would be falling apart after 2-3 hours of playing. So I went back to Wilson Pro but it gets really dirty quick since I sweat so much. But it feels decent after 2 hours of playing, its not as tacky but still in good shape for playing. Any ideas on a durable overgrip? or should I just forget overgrips and try a decent replacement grip so I dont have to change my overgrip every week?

I live in a high humidity area and only use Gauze Tape. It works well, and heavy moisture does not have any effect on it. In fact I ususally pour water on it before I play.

Works best for me, Tournagrip in the summer time last about 1/2 set with wrist bans. With Gauze tape you do not need wrist bans and it never slips. Green or Blue is the best.

you may want to try something from Prince. I forgot what the name of it was, but it's a solution, lyke a lotion and you apply it to your palms, and it makes your hand sweat A LOT less. i know from experience. it's an excellent product, but may need frequent re-application.

agree with Barry 100% ! I live in St. Louis and gets very hot and humid and tourna-grip and all the rest just aren't realistic. They become useless after a short time and who wants to stop and re-wrap all the time. I use gauze when it gets very hot over a super tack fairway grip.
