What is My Grip Size?
The popular method for finding your tennis racquet grip size is to follow these simple instruction.
-
On your playing hand, your palm has three main creases. Hold your hand flat, with the fingers alongside one another.
-
Measure from the middle crease of your palm, up the line between your middle and ring fingers, to a point equal to the height of the tip of your ring finger. Typically women will measure between 4 1/8" and 4 3/8", men between 4 1/2" and 4 3/4".
Juniors will usually measure less than 4". Most Junior frames are only offered in this size.
If you are between sizes, go with the smaller grip. A slightly small grip can be built up easily with an overwrap. Too large a grip can not be properly adjusted without altering the frames properties. Overgrips can't build a grip effectively more than 1/8" though, because each layer of overwrap adds to the rounding off of the bevel edges on your handle.
