Genie: Is it OK to use a tennis racquet overgrip on a badminton racquet?
I have two extra rubber tennis racquet overgrips with me. I was planning to replace my current towel overgrip on my badminton racquet, but I have no time to go to the store to buy one.

Short answer is yes. I use tennis overgrip on my badminton rackets all the time. They are the same. However, the longer answer is:

There are two types of grips. One is replacement grip and another is overgrip.

Normally, the overgrip is placed on the top of original grip and being replaced frequently once it’s getting old.

The replacement grip is much thicker than the overgrip and only to replace the original grip.

The towel overgrip is much thick, so sometimes it’s placed on the handle with the original grip removed. If you are going to replace the towel grip, then you need use one overgrip if you still have the original grip on the handle. If the original grip is gone, you need a replacement grip (thicker one) plus one overgrip (thinner one). Some people use two of overgrips without using the original grip. It’s up to you.
