Buying Guide
Padel accessories are not an extra: when well-chosen, they protect your body and improve your control with every shot. At 3R Padel, we select overgrips, sun protection, elbow pads, knee pads, compression sleeves, and technical socks that we have tested on the court.
• Overgrips: renew your racket's grip and prevent it from slipping with sweat; it's advisable to change them every few weeks if you play frequently.
• Sun protection: essential on outdoor courts; prioritize high factors (SPF 50+) if you play many hours in the sun.
• Elbow pads and compression sleeves: help prevent and relieve discomfort such as tennis elbow in players with a high volume of play.
• Knee pads: recommended if you feel strain on your knees due to the constant changes of direction in padel.
• Technical socks: reduce friction and improve foot support inside the shoe, key to preventing blisters.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an overgrip even if my racket already has a factory grip?
Yes, an overgrip is a replacement grip that is placed over the original grip and is frequently changed because it wears out faster than the rest of the racket.
What accessory do you recommend if I have arm pain?
A compression sleeve or elbow brace is usually the first option: it helps reduce vibration and muscle fatigue during play.
Is sports sunscreen different from regular sunscreen?
Yes, it is usually more resistant to sweat and friction, designed to last through long matches without needing constant reapplication.
