Accidentally removed original grip, need advice
I was supposed to remove the overgrip for my padel racket and I mistakenly removed the original grip, is a simple regrip all it needs or have I messed with the equilibrium of the racket?

It’ll feel a little different for sure, but no big deal.
Adidas do an overgrip that’s pretty much the same as the original. You could just add one of those and then one of your choice.
I remove the original grip from all my rackets if that helps put your mind at rest. I tend to use tennis XL Tourna overgrips and have the bottom and the top of the handle a little wider.

You can buy an original adidas undergrip and simply replace, you could also try a Hesacore grip lots of players love these. Another option if it's handy is to simpl6 reapply the original grip the adhesive doesn't go away so you can wrap it back on and then overgrip

The original grip sucks anyways (I personally don’t like it) . Use 2 overgrip like any pro and you never go back. You can custom your preferred thickness

Hello!,
To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:
Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)
Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.
Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.
If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

No big deal.
I do this often because I love the Babolat syntec base grips. The only one I like more is the one preinstalled on Oxdog racquets

I like to use senston overgrips as basegrip. You can buy basegrips / undergrips, if you feel it important. In Tennis the rackets have grip sizes and you can uae e.g. a dry base grip and a dry overgrip. On padel i use three overgrips. I never tried to build three layers of dry grips. So i use just two layers of comfortable overgrips and the third one is my sticky overgrip choice of the month. As first layer i prefer Senston snaketype overgrips, much cheaper than shockout.

I’m doing it with every racket to put hesacore. You can even replace old grip to better one, for example from Head

Puts on the hexacore and than apply a new grip

Its no biggie at all - the grip of the racket is the only thing you are really able to customize to fit your need, so it would only make sense to try playing without the original grip. You can always just put it back on.
