Yes. Swips solves sweaty hands, and hands sweat the same way whatever you are holding. We built it for pickleball because that is where the problem found us, but rosin has been the answer in baseball, gymnastics and climbing for a hundred years.

If your sport has rules about what goes on your equipment, check them first.

The USA Pickleball rulebook does not restrict what you put on your hands. It does restrict what goes on the paddle face, so keep rosin on your palm where it belongs.

Other sports set their own rules. Check yours before you play a sanctioned event.

Your non-dominant one. The terry cloth handles your brow, and your playing hand taps the pocket between points.

It might be two on a mild day, and five when it is 90 degrees. Your hands will tell you.

If you do not sweat much, one. Most people use two. The heaviest sweaters go through as many as six. It is one reason we sell them in packs.

You know a band is done when you tap and no rosin comes out. The terry cloth is soaked and the insert is soaked with it. Swap in a fresh one and keep playing.

Nothing gets thrown away. When you get home, pull the rosin insert out of the band and let it air dry on its own. Wash the band or just air dry it. Once both are fully dry the insert goes back in and works like new.

Weeks of regular play for most people. It depends on how hard you sweat and how often you tap. When a tap stops leaving your hand dry, drop in a fresh one.

Yes, some will end up on your paddle grip. That is the point. Rosin transfers from your hand to whatever your hand is on, and the grip is where you want it.

It is a trace, not a layer, and it is not enough to mark a ball. Tap your palm, not the paddle face.

What goes into a Swips insert is our own blend, not straight rosin. We blend rock rosin with magnesium carbonate, the drying mineral gymnasts chalk up with, so it takes the sweat off your skin fast and leaves your hand feeling dry.

Rock rosin itself is pine resin. Sap is collected from pine trees, heated and cooled until it sets into a hard amber solid, then ground down. Nothing synthetic.

Athletes have leaned on it for well over a century. A baseball pitcher keeps a rosin bag on the mound. Gymnasts use it before the bars, and so do climbers, weightlifters and bowlers. Violinists run it along the bow so it does not slip on the string. Same material, same job.

Because plain rosin does not know when to stop. Pine resin softens as your hands warm up, so it keeps building on your palm. Play a long session and it ends up on your paddle, your towel and your phone.

Our blend is built to behave. The magnesium carbonate dries as the rock rosin grips, so you get enough to stop the paddle moving and not much more.

You will still find residue on your paddle grip. We are not going to pretend otherwise. That is rosin doing its job, and the grip is exactly where you want it. The aim was never zero residue. The aim was just enough grip, in the right place, without it taking over the rest of your gear.

Our own blend of rock rosin and magnesium carbonate. That is the whole list. For external use only, and keep it out of reach of children.

Rock rosin is a natural pine resin. A small number of people are sensitive to it, so if you have a known pine or rosin allergy, skip it or patch test first. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Athletes have leaned on both of these for a long time. Rock rosin is pine resin, the same family that has sat in a bag on the pitching mound for over a century. Magnesium carbonate is gym chalk, what gymnasts and climbers put on their hands before they compete.

Worth clearing up, gym chalk is not the chalk from a classroom blackboard. That is calcium carbonate or gypsum. Gym chalk is magnesium carbonate, a different mineral doing a different job.

Ingredients: Rock rosin, magnesium carbonate.

Warning: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Avoid inhalation. Do not swallow. If rash develops or pain persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. Use only as directed.

Keep out of reach of children.
