About Us

iQGrip makes a custom-fit grip system for pickleball paddles.

Paddle handles are manufactured in a small number of standard sizes. Hands aren't. Most players just adapt to whatever handle their paddle came with — usually by gripping harder than they need to, which costs comfort late in a session and consistency at contact.

How the system works

A paddle handle is an extrusion — the same shape all the way down. A palm is closer to the shape of an egg. Close your hand around a handle and there is a cavity where the two are not touching, and that cavity is the problem iQGrip solves.

Your paddle's base tape stays on. You place ergonomic inserts on top of it, in the specific spots where your hand needs support, secure them with adhesive strips, and wrap an overgrip over the top — an iQGrip synthetic overgrip is included in every kit, or use whichever you already prefer. Nothing gets stripped, and the inserts can be moved.

That structure is the whole point. A one-piece moulded grip applies a single fixed pattern across the entire handle and asks your hand to adapt to it. Our inserts are placed individually, so you decide where the support goes, you can reposition them as your game changes, and the shape of the handle and the surface you hold stay separate decisions.

There are five configurations we see most often, from a single large insert for comfort through to symmetrical setups for players who spin the paddle.

What we sell

Complete pickleball grip insert kits in four sizes: Starter for one paddle, Core for two, PRO for three and our most configurable setups, and Club for eight — built for teams and coaching programs.

Every kit includes both the inserts and the overgrips, so there is nothing else to buy. We also sell our synthetic overgrip on its own and in a three-pack, as a refill: the inserts last, the overgrip is a consumable.

Getting a fit that works

Because every kit is configurable, installation is where the value is. Our installation guide walks through a standard setup, and if you want to see how iQGrip differs from the other options out there, we have written an honest comparison against the alternatives.

If you are not sure which configuration suits your hand size or grip style, get in touch — we would much rather help you get it right than have you guess.
