ORLANDO, Fla. (July 23, 2026) — The Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA), the world’s oldest and largest association of racquet sports teaching professionals, has named Gamer Grip™ its Official Dry Hand Performance Solution. The partnership gives the RSPA’s more than 14,000 members worldwide exclusive member pricing on Gamer Grip™’s Racquet & Paddle Formula—a fast-drying, no-slip Performance Grip Formula designed to stop sweat from compromising control in tennis, pickleball, padel and platform tennis.
In racquet sports, grip is the difference between control and compromise. The partnership marks Gamer Grip™’s first official partnership with a global racquet sports organization and reflects the growing recognition that maintaining dry hands is a genuine performance advantage, particularly in hot and humid playing conditions.
“In racquet sports, grip is one of the few performance variables players can actually control. Our members spend hours on court every day, often in challenging heat and humidity, so having a solution that keeps their hands consistently dry can make a meaningful difference. I was immediately impressed by how simple Gamer Grip™ is to use and how long the effect lasts—up to four hours per application. It’s the kind of performance edge that benefits teaching professionals and players at every level.”
— Tim Buwick, Director of Business Development, RSPA
Gamer Grip™ stops sweat at the source. Non-stick. No slip. No residue. Its proprietary Performance Grip Formula creates an invisible moisture barrier between the skin and equipment, helping hands stay naturally dry for up to four hours per application. It applies in seconds, dries cleanly and won’t damage grips, paddles, racquets, golf clubs or other equipment.
Originally developed in 2011 for competitive gamers seeking maximum control under pressure, Gamer Grip™ has spent more than 15 years helping professional gamers, esports competitors, athletes and everyday players perform with confidence. Today, the same trusted Performance Grip Formula powers dedicated products for Gaming, Racquet & Paddle, Golf, and Strength & Fitness. Gamer Grip™ has also been featured by outlets including Fox and Digital Trends as a leading solution for sweaty hands, hyperhidrosis and performance grip.
“When we founded Gamer Grip™ in 2011, our mission was simple: solve the problem of sweaty hands causing people to lose control when performance mattered most. For more than 15 years, professional gamers, athletes and everyday competitors have trusted Gamer Grip™ when performance is on the line. While we started in gaming, the challenge is universal—whether you’re holding a controller, a tennis racquet or a pickleball paddle, grip matters. Partnering with the RSPA is an important milestone because it validates grip as a true performance advantage and puts Gamer Grip™ into the hands of thousands of teaching professionals who help shape the future of racquet sports.”
— Duncan Ironmonger, Co-Founder, Gamer Grip™
RSPA members will receive exclusive member pricing on Gamer Grip™ products and can experience the Performance Grip Formula firsthand at the RSPA World Racquets Conference 2026, taking place this September in Dallas, Texas.
