One often overlooked, but crucial, aspect when selecting a tennis racket is the grip size. The grip size is the measurement around the handle's circumference, and choosing the right one can significantly impact your comfort, control, and potential to prevent injury. This article will guide you through the process of selecting the right tennis racket grip size.

Importance of Choosing the Right Grip Size

A correctly sized tennis grip ensures you have optimal control over your racket and helps prevent injuries. Too small a grip may cause your hand to shift during play, reducing accuracy and increasing the risk of developing tennis elbow due to overuse of the forearm muscles. Conversely, a grip that's too large can make the racket hard to turn and manipulate, and it could also lead to hand, wrist, or shoulder injuries due to overgripping.

Measuring Your Grip Size

There are two common methods to measure your grip size:

  • The Ruler Method : Open your dominant hand and extend your fingers. Align a ruler with the bottom lateral crease of your palm, measuring to the tip of your ring finger. The measurement in inches correlates with your grip size.
  • The Finder Test : Hold the racket with a standard Eastern forehand grip, where the base knuckle of your index finger is on bevel #3. You should be able to fit the index finger of your other hand in the space between your ring finger and the palm that's gripping the racket. If there's not enough room for your finger, the grip is too small. If there's too much space, the grip is too large.

Grip Sizes: U.S. vs. European

Choosing the right grip size.

When choosing the right grip size, consider the following points:

  • Go for the smaller size if you're in between : It's easier to increase the size of a grip than decrease it. You can always add an overgrip (which usually adds about 1/16 inch) to a smaller handle to increase its size, but shaving down a larger handle is not recommended as it can compromise the racket's structural integrity.
  • Consider your style of play : Players who rely on spin might prefer a smaller grip size, which allows for more wrist action. In contrast, players seeking control may benefit from a larger grip size.
  • Test it out : If possible, try before you buy. Visit a local sports store, hold the racket, and mimic your swing to see how it feels. Remember that comfort is key - if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.

  5. Prince Textreme Tour O3 100

    I've got a feeling that the Prince Textreme O3 Tour 100 310g could be an improved version of the Prince Phantom 100 310g: similar specs, but an additional cross string (16x19 instead of 16x18), a slightly thicker beam (20-22-18mm) and slightly higher stiffness for a bit more punch while retaining maneuverability, comfort and foregiveness. ...

  6. Prince O3 Tour 100 (290g)

    I'm really interested in Prince O3 Tour 100 (310g). Currently playing with Prince Warrior 100, but i would certainly prefer thinner beam and more HL balance of O3 Tour 100. I would like to see some reviews of this model because i can not demo it in my region. Reactions: tata. liftordie Hall of Fame.

  7. Prince O3 Tour 100 (310)

    New User. I have the unported Textreme Tour 100 (310) and love it, but my elbow plays up sometimes. I've read the O3 version is more arm friendly. I love the feel of the ported racquets in the Phantom range, but hate how under powered they are. I'm hoping this is the answer. I ordered one from Tennis Warehouse Europe.

  8. Tour 100 (310g)

    The 2022 update to the Tour franchise sees the addition of ATS technology with the TeXtreme® x Twaron® for added stability and unmatched feel. The Tour 100 (310g) has enough mass to really pack a punch and be super stable while still maintaining that familiar Tour feel and control. The Tour franchise has been developed to provide supreme ...

  9. Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Racket Review

    The Textreme Tour 100 is an excellent allrounder's racket for someone who values a racket with manoeuvrability and control. It is ideally suited to an aggressive player who loves to attack from the baseline but is also comfortable at the net. For those players who love a little extra spin from their racket, I would certainly suggest they ...

  13. Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) Racket Review

    While the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) comes in at a very manageable 290g unstrung, it has a serious 324 swingweight which adds a great deal of stability on contact. The extra swingweight gives this racket some extra control, meaning this stick can compete even when the power levels go up. This high swingweight means that the Textreme Tour is ...

  14. Prince O3 Tour MP (2005/2006 version)

    scotus said: EXO3 Tour was far better than O3 Tour in comfort. Agreed, and the EXO 3 Tour is a little more comfortable than the later Tour 100 because of the slightly more flexible shaft. The Tour 100 is also slightly stiffer in the upper head to increase stability.
