How it works

- Once verified and approved, we’ll confirm the matched price and provide a secure payment link.
We compare the competitor’s standard online delivered total to your Australian postcode, including applicable shipping and compulsory fees—not their Click & Collect price—even for Gem Sports pickup. Other offers cannot be combined unless approved. Stock is not reserved during review. Full policy applies.

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.

This deduction will not exceed AUD $14.50 or the actual original shipping cost incurred by Gem Sports, whichever is lower.
If the total value of the items you keep after the return is AUD $150 or more, no original shipping fee will be deducted from your store credit.
Customers remain responsible for return postage costs for change-of-mind returns.
This condition applies only to orders placed after the policy takes effect and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
