Will Gorilla Gold leave a residue?

No. The all-natural resin formula dissolves naturally within minutes from your hands and within a few hours from equipment. Golfers, tennis players, and softball pitchers may reapply often during rounds and games. It leaves no permanent residue and won't damage your gear.

Is Gorilla Gold safe for use with gloves?

Yes. Gorilla Gold enhances glove performance in golf, baseball, softball, soccer goalkeeping, and other sports. While Gorilla Gold dissolves quickly from hands, the tack remains on gloves longer but leaves no trace residue. It enhances glove-to-grip feel without degrading leather or synthetic materials.

How long does one Gorilla Gold towel last?

It depends on how often you use it. If you're a daily golfer or racquet sports player, you'll probably go through one per month, but less frequent users may find Gorilla Gold lasting for many months. Keeping it sealed between uses extends its life.

How do I store my Gorilla Gold towel?

Store your Gorilla Gold towel in the resealable pouch it comes in, or in any airtight bag, between uses. Keeping it sealed preserves the all-natural resin formula and extends the towel's effective life. Avoid leaving it exposed to open air for extended periods.

How do I apply Gorilla Gold?

Towel dry your hands or grip if wet, then squeeze the Gorilla Gold grip-enhancing towel against your hands, gloves, or equipment grip. Apply light pressure for subtle tack, or squeeze harder for maximum grip. Reapply as needed during play. The adjustable tackiness lets you control your grip intensity based on conditions and personal preference.

How to use

How to Use Gorilla Gold

Gorilla Gold is a grip-enhancing towel that gives you adjustable tackiness through simple squeeze pressure. Five steps, no complicated technique, and total control over your grip in any condition.

Step-by-step guide

5 steps to better grip

Whether you play golf, pickleball, tennis, or any grip-dependent activity, the process is the same.

Unfold the towel

Remove the Gorilla Gold grip-enhancing towel from its resealable pouch and unfold it. Most people open it to about washcloth size before using it. You do not need to fully unfold the towel; a comfortable hand-sized section works best.

Tip: Keep the unused portion folded to preserve resin for future applications.

Apply to a dry surface

Press the towel against the surface you want to treat. Gorilla Gold works on your bare hands, your gloves, or directly on your equipment grip. The all-natural resin formula transfers best to a dry surface, so wipe down any moisture before applying.

Your gripYour handsYour gloves

Tip: For best results, towel-dry your hands or grip first. The resin bonds more effectively to a clean, dry surface.

Squeeze to activate

This is the key step. Squeeze the towel against the surface with varying pressure to control the amount of tack. A light squeeze transfers a thin layer of resin for subtle grip enhancement. A firm squeeze transfers a thicker layer for maximum moisture-resistant tackiness.

Light squeezeSlight tack, ideal for dry conditions or finesse shots

Medium squeezeModerate grip, good for general play

Hard squeezeMaximum tackiness, best for rain, heavy sweat, or humid conditions

Tip: Start with a light squeeze and build up. You can always add more tack, but you cannot remove it until it dissolves naturally.

Adjust as needed

Gorilla Gold is not a one-time application. Think of it as a tool you adjust throughout your round, game, or event. Light pressure delivers subtle tack; firmer pressure delivers more grip. Different conditions, different sports, and different personal preferences all call for different levels. Experiment during your first few uses to find what feels right for you.

Tip: Think of it like dialing in your grip stickiness with pressure. More pressure means more tack, less pressure means less tack.

Reapply during use

The all-natural resin formula dissolves gradually during play. Reapply whenever you feel your grip starting to slip. Some athletes reapply once or twice per round, while others use the towel every time they pick up their club, paddle, or bat. There is no wrong frequency.

Tip: Keep the towel in your pocket or clipped to your bag for quick access between shots.

How it works

What Gorilla Gold is actually doing

Understanding the science helps you get the most out of your grip-enhancing towel.

Leaves a light tacky, moisture-repelling layer

The all-natural resin creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water rather than absorbing it, maintaining friction in wet conditions.

Helps you grip without squeezing as hard

Increased surface friction means less grip pressure is needed. This reduces hand fatigue, forearm tension, and the over-gripping that leads to inconsistent performance.

Cleans oil and sweat off the grip

Although it was not developed as a grip cleaner, the towel will absorb surface oils and dirt, removing the slippery layer that causes grip failure.

Avoid these mistakes

Common mistakes to avoid

Getting the most out of Gorilla Gold is simple once you know what not to do.

Using it on a wet grip first

The all-natural resin formula bonds best to a dry surface. Wipe your grip or hands dry before applying Gorilla Gold. Applying to a wet surface dilutes the resin and reduces tackiness.

Over-squeezing on the first application

Start light and build up. If you squeeze too hard right away, the surface may feel overly sticky. A gradual approach lets you find the exact tack level you prefer.

Expecting one application to last all day

The resin dissipates from your hands within minutes, and longer for equipment. This is by design: it prevents residue buildup on your equipment. Plan to reapply as often as needed.

Think of it this way

Dialing in grip stickiness with pressure

Gorilla Gold is not a one-time application. Think of it as a tool you adjust throughout your round. Light pressure for a subtle edge, firm pressure for maximum hold. You are always in control.
