About grip size
Match the label to the Grip Size options on this page: G2 (4 1/4) means grip size 2 with a 4 1/4-inch handle circumference. Higher G numbers mean larger handles.
| Grip size | Circumference (inches) |
|---|---|
| G1 | 4 1/8 |
| G2 | 4 1/4 |
| G3 | 4 3/8 |
| G4 | 4 1/2 |
Choosing your fit
- Smaller hands: start by comparing G1 or G2. For a fuller handle, compare G3 or G4. These are starting points, not a fixed rule.
- Try the racquet with your usual wrapping. As a starting check, leave about an index finger's width between your fingertips and palm.
- Between sizes? Usually choose the smaller size and build up with an overgrip. A handle that is too large is harder to reduce.
Only the sizes listed in this product's selector are offered for this model. Handle shape also affects fit, so try it in-store if possible.
