Broccoli bands

I use overgrips, but I flip them over to get wear on both sides before I’m done with them. This means I can’t use tape to secure the overgrip, because removing the tape tears the overgrip. Instead of buying grip bands, I use the rubber band I get from the grocery store where I buy broccoli. They’re just the right size to hold the overgrip to the racquet, they’re reusable, and they’re free — as long as you eat broccoli.

Editor’s note: This seems to work best if you wrap the band around the pallet portion, as opposed to the shaft portion of the racquet.
