An "overgrip" is any kind of material that wraps around the grip of a tennis racquet (n.b., it is used on Baseball bats, hockey sticks, and other sports-related equipment as well). The primary reason to use an overgrip (usually an after-market item) is to protect the grip (i.e., the original part of the racquet, et al.) from wear-and-tear, and, secondarily, to make it easier for the player to hold onto.
