Can you increase the grip size of a tennis racket?

Posted on August 16, 2010 
Filed Under Tennis Lessons: Grip

I have this tennis racket I bought a year ago and it works great. However when I bought it the grip size was a little too small, but I didn’t really care back then. Now my hands are bigger and the grip is way too small. My hand is also starting to hurt when I play for too long a time. Suggestions?

yeah.. go to a tennis shop or sporting goods store and but overgrip. Its like tape that you wrap around the grip of your raquet and you can get it in all thicknesses and textures.

    You can use 1-2 overgrips to increase the gripsize by 1. To increase by 2, add a replacement grip over your existing grip. I did this on my nSix-One 95 and it worked great.

    In the US, they can get something called a heat-shrink wrap grip to increase grip size. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen this in South East Asia…

    Go to any Sportsmart and ask them to re-grip your rquet. Its only two dollars

    you can use overgrips, which add around 1/4 of an inch to your grip.
    additionally, you can get a heat shrink sleeve, which is put under your origincal grip(not overgrip)
