TENNIS RACQUET GRIP SIZE GUIDE

 

 

It is important to use the correct grip size in order to utilise maximum comfort and playability. Too large a grip can strain your hand and too small a grip can injure your hand, wrist and elbow over time.

 

 

To find your grip size:

 

1) Hold your racquet hand flat out in front of you with your fingers pushed together and your palm facing upwards.

 

2) There are three main creases on your palm. Measure from the middle crease on your palm up to the tip of your ring finger. This measurement will fall into one of the grip size categories below.

 

If you end up in between two grip sizes it is usually better to go with the next grip size up. However, you can easily increase the grip size with an overgrip or can easily have the grip enlarged by a full size or half a size. It is much more difficult to have the grip size reduced.

 

Another way to check you have the correct grip size on your racquet is to grip the handle as normal and then you should be able to fit your first finger from your other hand in the space between your fingers and your palm.
