agree  Catherine Brix: Sounds feasible - there'is a product called Contact Grip for better ball contact - used on tennis rackets, soccer cleats, etc..

made slip-resistant


Explanation:
Another guess - there are also hits for anti-slip. In my opinion, these would fit in an advertising-type document, whereas a technical one might use CR Andersson's suggestion.
Hope this helps.
