Why don't pitchers just use a product like this:

Prince Grip Enhancer

I use it for playing squash. For those that don't know, Squash is a one handed racket game... After an hour of playing you can be drenched in sweat, so your racket will want to slip and twist out of your hands.

You put this stuff on your hands (like hand sanitizer) and it makes your hand feel like a fresh brand new rubber basketball. Not clumpy or noticable. Withstands sweat and moisure for hours and your hands stay high friction. Just a good grip.

If I really wanted a good grip, I would use put this on my hands before the game... maybe halfway through the game in the dugout.

Dang, with pealing in the title, I just knew there would be bells involved.

Alternate solution is to use a tennis grip wrap, like these

I like the function of the Maghandle, but it's uncomfortable and I'm not down to spend $70 for the Maghandle Pro. So, this is my favorite Pint accessory for now; way more comfortable now. It worked out since I needed two of these for some tennis racquets anyway.

I have sweaty hands in general, so I feel you. Aside from toweling off every so often, there are some other things you can try.

You can try using rosin powder. They come in bottles, or a convenient dispensable bag. It's basically a special powder designed to suck up your sweat and dry your hands.

I'm pretty sure they also make special grips for various controllers that have sweat-absorbent material.

Personally, what I do is I use a type of tennis wrap called Tourna Grip, and I wrap it around the grip areas of any controller I own. It's designed for tennis racquets is very sweat absorbent, but it can be used to wrap pretty much anything that will be in contact with your palms for an extended time.

I wrapped my sticks with this; only enough to hold onto it securely and still able to do rimshots. It was a little weird at first but now I'm used to it and don't think I'll go back. I used to drop sticks left and right because my hands sweat so much - at least twice per session. Now I don't remember the last time I dropped a stick.

I use this sticky grip stuff sometimes. Works temporarily and will be a little messy but it helps. You may have to reapply every 15 or 20 minutes.

Power Grips are not nylon but they work very well for me.

I've tried this stuff (and chalk). It'll remove the sweat from your hands, but my hands end up getting sweaty again within minutes when it's humid out

You could always try an antiperspirant like Prince Grip Enhancer.

I thought overgrips was the thing you slide onto the handle to give it a larger diameter for people with bigger hands so you can grip the racket correctly to prevent tennis elbow.

Either way, I see you like the little snake under the tape for that added texture, have you considered getting a tennis "contour" grip instead? It comes with that texture (although it'll have a more uniform spacing). I absolutely love it on my tennis rackets.

When I played tennis this was some of the best stuff for sweaty hands (not adhesive backed)

These are AMAZING overgrips for less than $1.00 each.

Wilson Advantage Tennis Racquet Over Grip . The grip won't stay on by itself so you will need double sided adhesive of some sort. On this mouse I went with Gorilla double sized tape. The double sided gorilla tape is pretty thick. use Duck Brand Double-Sided Duct Tape if you wanted the thinnest possible tape with insane grip.

No padding added yet but I'm thinking of putting some foam on the sides.

There's also these ones from Wilson: https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Advantage-II-Tennis-Bag/dp/B00I14X9PU

Tourna makes an even tackier variant called Tourna Mega Tac. I've been using this as an overgrip for the last year and love it. Each one feels better than a brand new Karakal or Black Knight replacement grip, costs less than $2, and lasts at least a few matches. They're available on Amazon in a single pack, roll of 10, or roll of 30. Highly recommended if you like sticky-feeling grips.

I don't know anyone else who uses it, but I love TournaTac for my bow. I find that the latex tube becomes very slick when sweaty and that it's too thick for my liking. One "length" from the roll is good for 3 bow grips, and I need to change it about once a month because I have rather sweaty hands.

I've tried everything, I can vouch for this.

Got the idea since I play tennis and well, tennis overgrips are basically used on any racquet for comfort and sweat absorption.

You can trace and just cut then slap it on there! For Zowies, it just adheres naturally because the tennis grip has some friction (no tape needed).

I think it really depends on your preferences. I like a thicker handle on my swords so I'll have a foam underwrap and then use a microfiber towel over that. My hands get pretty sweaty while training so towel grips work best for me.
Here's an amazon link

Though, some people find that those grips can get too thick so they prefer something thinner like tennis wrap.

Luckily, they're all not too expensive so try a few and find what works for you. Lastly, remember when wrapping, start from the base of the sword.

A decent racket should help too. Look for something that doesn't vibrate on impact, alternatively get a vibration dampener, something like:

A long time ago I had a cheaper browning racket which clearly vibrated and caused me issues, was unrelated to technique at least for me.

is this one good also? was thinking of getting a black one

My first Messenger I just put some Wilson Comfort Over Grip over the stock grip. Feels great and cheap.

My second Messenger I filled most of the gaps with hot glue, then finished the grip using epoxy putty. I like the added weight it gives, since I have a heavier spring load in that one.

I bought some Rosin powder from Amazon that works really well.

If you like this design, get POWERGRIPS

They'll be more durable.

If you don't want to splurge on clipless pedals and shoes, Power Grips are a very affordable alternative at roughly $20, with almost comparable performance. If you have standard pedals on your bike now, then the set of screws, washers, and bolts that comes with the Power Grips will be all you need for installation. I just ordered a pair for my bike so I can't really evaluate performance yet, but the reviews I've seen have been very positive.

Some players I know use batting gloves. You may also find that applying an overgrip helps reduce slippage. I use Gamma but there are lots of options and most are very cheap.

The wrist pain could simply mean that your forearm muscles aren't strong enough yet - if so this will come with time and can be improved with exercise. But it could also mean a problem with technique. You may want to ask an experienced player to look at your swing and grip.

I've used controller covers like these before and they're okay, but they add bulk and eventually lose their grip (even after being washed with soap and water). Also the one I linked (as well as similar products) decrease the range of motion for the analog sticks, so you will have to cut them up. In reality, I don't think there is a permanent grip solution for any controller, as any sort of cover will lose its effectiveness over time. This means you will have to replace them every so often.

With that said, your best long-term and cost effective option would be to buy some sort of grip tape. I use tourna grip, which isn't designed for controllers, but it works very well. Just know you will have to replace this tape when the grip starts to wear off. I replace mine every 5-6 weeks or so, but your case might be different depending on how often you play + how much you sweat.
