{"product_id":"hesacore-pink-padel-grip-extra-small","title":"Hesacore Pink Padel Grip — Extra Small (1.0mm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHesacore replaces the round grip your racket came with. In its place is a patented hexagonal shape engineered to match the anatomy of your hand — it guides your fingers into the same position every time you pick the racket up, and spreads the contact area across the handle (Hesacore measure 8–14% more grip surface than a conventional round grip).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe point is that you stop squeezing. A relaxed hand means a relaxed forearm: less fatigue over a long match, and less shock travelling up into the wrist and elbow. It also holds when your hands are wet, which on a humid Gold Coast evening is not a small thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePink\u003c\/b\u003e sits alongside the Original on feel — same balance of grip and comfort — but at 1.0mm it is the thinnest Hesacore made. You get the hexagonal shape with barely any added bulk, which makes it the least intrusive way in for smaller hands or players who use no overgrip at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour grip may arrive in Hesacore's pickleball-branded packaging. It is the same grip. Padel and pickleball handles are identical, and Hesacore have confirmed this stock is intended for padel rackets as well — fit it to your padel racket exactly as you would any other Hesacore grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat changes when you fit one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter control with less grip pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced vibration and shock transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe same hand placement on every shot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore comfort deep into a long session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore confidence on the shots you used to rush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHesacore vs a traditional grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eHesacore\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eTraditional grip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErgonomic hexagonal shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuides your fingers into position\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires more squeezing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe same grip every shot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInconsistent placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess fatigue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaster fatigue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing your size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHesacore sizes are the thickness of the grip material, not the height of the handle.
