When it comes to grip, not all products are created equal.
Many athletes rely on grip aids to improve control, confidence, and performance, but some traditional grip products can actually cause problems for your skin, equipment, and overall experience.
At iTac2, we take a different approach.
Common Grip Aids and Their Drawbacks
Rosin-Based Grip Products
Rosin is commonly used in sports such as gymnastics, baseball, and weightlifting. While it can improve grip, it often comes with a few downsides:
- Can create a dusty, messy residue
- Often dries out the skin with repeated use
- Can leave build-up on equipment and surfaces
- May become less effective when exposed to sweat or moisture
For athletes who train regularly, this can mean constant reapplication and extra cleaning.
Alcohol-Based Grip Products
Many liquid grip products rely heavily on alcohol to dry the hands and reduce sweat.
While this can provide a temporary improvement in grip, frequent use may:
- Dry and irritate the skin
- Cause cracking or discomfort
- Lose effectiveness once sweating returns
- Require frequent reapplication during training or competition
Athletes with sensitive skin often find alcohol-based products uncomfortable over time.
The iTac2 Difference
iTac2 is a beeswax-based grip aid designed to create a light, reliable tack without relying on harsh ingredients.
Long-Lasting Grip
Rather than simply drying your hands, iTac2 creates a tacky layer that helps improve contact between your skin and equipment.
A small amount goes a long way, meaning less product is needed throughout a session.
Sweat Resistant
Unlike many traditional grip aids, iTac2 is designed to continue performing even when conditions get hot, humid, or sweaty.
This makes it popular among athletes in sports such as:
- Pole Fitness
- Diving
- Lawn Bowls
- Netball
- Pickleball
- Rugby
- Dragon Boat Racing
- Tennis
- Basketball

iTac2 contains beeswax and plant-based ingredients, helping provide grip without the harsh drying effects often associated with alcohol-heavy products.
Many athletes find it comfortable enough for regular use throughout training and competition.
Less Mess
Because iTac2 doesn’t rely on powders or dusty ingredients, it helps reduce mess on hands, clothing, and equipment.
A small amount applied correctly provides grip without leaving clouds of residue behind.
