Wash or clean your hands prior to applying the grip. Sunscreen, sweat, and dirt will reduce the adhesive.

Remove the bottom half of the backing paper, attach to your palm, then remove the remaining backing paper and pat down fully.

Multiple ways to apply your grips
Simple 3-step application
1. Rip
Start by lining up the grips to your hand so the gaps of the fingers line up. Note where the end of the grip is against your palm. Then RIP the bottom half of the backing away.
2. Stick
Peel the grip backing and apply the bottom of the grip at the base of your palm. Grab the grip backing paper and slowly peel and pull the grips towards your fingers.
3. Grip
Lastly, apply your thumb grip. Depending on the sport, you may want to try wrapping the thumb grip around or along your thumb.

Let customers speak for us
These hand grip stickers for golfing are seriously cool—sleek design, awesome tackiness, and they give my boyfriend’s swing a confident edge! Bought them as a surprise, and he loves it. Highly recommend for any golfer looking to up their game with a cool approach.
If you are new to lifting and want to avoid blisters altogether, people should start with these. I like that they go the whole length of your fingers and make you feel secure in your grip.
Pros:
-It made me feel strong
-Very comfortable, no irritation
-Hands didn’t feel sweaty, prevented the distraction of sweat. I didn’t need to wipe my hands.
-I don’t need to change the way I lift, with straps or gloves I’m fussing with straps before each set
-The colors are kinda cool and can go with my outfit
The only negative I can think of is the amount of waste and packaging involved, with the grips themselves requiring a backer and the included alcohol wipes as well being individually packaged.
I only felt like I was “wearing” something for the first few minutes of the workout; after they had stuck and molded to the shape of my hand I pretty much forgot that they were there which I am crazy about. Gloves, wraps, etc you are always aware that you are wearing something but these felt like a part of your body
Using the hand and foot grips together is great during yoga. I just stick them on and I have grip in any pose. They also help me keep my hands and feet from touching unclean surfaces too!
The grips are so durable and versatile! They’re less bulky than gloves, so I can use them for almost anything. I can go lift weights and then work on my car with just one set of grips. And at the end of the day my hands are safe.
I thought they would feel uncomfortable or would have an issue with sweaty hand, but that didn't happen and they stayed on the entire workout!
These grips are an amazing tool for my pitching lessons. I can customize them for young pitchers in order to teach them how to grip the ball properly for desired zones. I am very happy with them and will keep ordering.
