About grip size
Comparing G5 and G6? G6 is slimmer; G5 has a fuller feel.
In an option such as 4U G6, 4U is the weight class and G6 is the grip size. For YONEX badminton racquets, a higher G number means a slimmer handle.
| YONEX size | Handle feel |
|---|---|
| G5 | Fuller than G6 |
| G6 | Slimmer than G5 |
Choosing your fit
- Smaller hands or prefer a thinner handle? Start by trying G6.
- Prefer more to hold? Try G5 for a fuller feel than G6.
- Adding an overgrip makes either size thicker. Check the fit with the wrapping you intend to use.
Choose from the sizes listed for this model; not every weight is offered with both grips. This G5/G6 comparison follows YONEX sizing; other brands can differ.
