Over-grip recommendations?

I've been using the Babolat Pro Team Tacky lately, which supposedly has "220% absorption", but even that doesn't stay tacky for a whole match. Anyone have any recommendations for a good overgrip that would fit the bill?

These are nice for sweaty hands - I get them half that price, though

Aqua Zorb 55

55 means 0.55 mm thick

Standard tennis overgrips are usually twice as long as what you need for TT handles. But that is up to you.

Myself - I start at the middle of the handle, then go up then wrap around and start going down to the bottom of the handle, where I cut it and use the sticky tape (provided with the overgrip; or you can use a piece of regular electric tape) to secure it. Or you can start at the bottom and go up.

My advice - buy Wilson's Overgrip at Walmart as suggested before and experiment. It is very cheap.

Cheers for this, how effective are tennis overgrips on table tennis bats though? Are they well optimised for these small rackets?

It's pretty much the exact same product.  Take a look at the Butterfly grip wrap - $5 for one wrap.  I use the Wilson's - $3 for 3 wraps from Walmart.  Each Wilson wrap is enough for two handles so you're really paying $3 for 6 wraps.
