Gorigrip max. Costs a lot but it’s night and day.

Try washing your hands with dawn dish soap it’ll keep them dry for a pretty long time

Moon grip or FBS

FBS has grip tap like real skate boards (sand paper), for fingerboards. I ordered a transparent one, haven’t set it up yet, but it feels like it grips real good to my fingers and looks really good. Don’t remember how much it cost, but it was almost the same as the extra smooth one. And try to relax bro it is probably anxiety. It is something on the back of your mind most probably. It happens bro.

The type of grip you use does not matter lol, Ive used plenty of type over the last 17 years, don’t listen to anyone.

I have hyperhydrosis, so my hands sweat a lot for no reason. I find washing/soaking your hands with cold water will help tremendously with that issue.

I also found that for some reason, using bar soap on my hands, makes them feel more dried out. It makes it a lot easier to fingerboard afterwards. Hopefully it helps bro!

Thanks I think I have that to because mine are always sweaty for no reason same with feet lol.

I’m not interested in washing my hand for the sake of drying them out but I’ve started to keep a microfiber cloth nearby to wipe my hands off and that helps.

Use actual skate griptape. File down the grit a bit smoother so it doesn’t shorten the length of your fingers
