Pickleball Grip for Sweaty Hands

Keep your hands dry and your paddle secure.

Sweaty hands can make your paddle feel less secure during hot conditions, long rallies and tournament play. iTac2 DryAS Powder helps manage excess moisture, while natural bamboo powder provides a light amount of grip for greater confidence and control on court.

Why Grip Matters

Pickleball can shift from soft, controlled dinks to fast volleys and powerful drives in seconds. When sweat builds up, the handle can feel less secure and players may find themselves squeezing harder, wiping their hands or readjusting their grip between points.

Help absorb excess moisture during hot or demanding sessions.

Keep your hands feeling drier through fast exchanges and long rallies.

Gain a small amount of natural grip from the bamboo powder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We've answered below!

Yes. DryAS is the main iTac2 product recommended for pickleball because it helps absorb excess sweat and keep the hands dry. Its natural bamboo powder also provides a small amount of grip.

Start with DryAS Powder. For many players, the combination of drier hands and light natural grip may be enough. If you still want more grip and control, apply a small amount of iTac2 wax over the top.

The natural bamboo powder in DryAS contributes a subtle, lightly grippy texture while the powder helps manage moisture. It is not intended to feel as tacky as iTac2 wax.

Start with a small amount of DryAS on the palms and fingers that contact the handle, then rub it in evenly. Reapply lightly when needed. If adding iTac2 wax, use a small amount and build the grip gradually.

Apply DryAS and iTac2 wax to your hands—not directly to the paddle or paddle face.

This depends on how much you sweat, the weather and how long you play. Reapply a small amount of DryAS when moisture returns. Only reapply iTac2 wax when you feel you need more grip.
