Collection: Pro Undergrips

Which undergrip is right for you?

Every Ethos Pro Undergrip is molded from our own liquid silicone rubber and shaped to guide your hand into a proper grip. The raised ridges give you something to index against, so the paddle resists twisting in your hand on off-center hits and you can hold it looser at the kitchen. The silicone also dampens vibration before it reaches your wrist and elbow, and it adds almost no bulk: a standard factory grip is about 2mm thick.

Pick your hand first, then your thickness. Thinner means more feel of the handle; thicker means more dampening and a little more counterweight in the handle.

Thinnest feel: RH-UL. Most vibration dampening: RH-MW or the Original. Left-handed players: LH-LW. Every undergrip is backed by a 1-year limited warranty against tearing and defects.

How to install it

5 minutes or less, and all you need is rubbing alcohol. The undergrip replaces your factory grip and goes under an overgrip, which is what your hand actually touches.

1. Remove the factory grip. Unwrap it from the handle and peel off any leftover adhesive.
2. Trim if needed. Most handles don't need it. If yours is significantly shorter than the undergrip, trim from the top, never the butt end.
3. Wet the handle and the inside of the undergrip with isopropyl alcohol, or water if that's what you have. This is the step people skip, and it's what makes the grip slide on easily.
4. Slide the undergrip on while everything is still wet, working it down to the butt cap.
5. Wrap an overgrip over it (not included). Any overgrip works.
6. Let it dry for a few minutes, then go play.

Changed your mind later? The undergrip can be removed and moved to another paddle. A little alcohol helps it slide off.
