Measuring Your Grip Size

To choose the right grip size for yourself is a big part of buying a new racquet. We at Racquet Depot want to make sure that you choose the one that fits you best!

Here are the most common grip sizes, starting with the smallest one.

USA	Europe
4 1/8	1
4 1/4	2
4 3/8	3
4 1/2	4
4 5/8	5

Here are two simple ways to measure.

1. USING AN ACTUAL RACQUET

Hold the racquet with a forehand grip (hand parallel with the frame of the racquet).
You should be able to fit your index finger between your ring finger and palm of your hand.
If there is not enough space to fit your index finger, the grip is too small.
If there is too much space between the ring finger and the palm of your hand, the grip size is too big.

2. USING A RULER

If you do not have a racquet to check for the grip size, you can always measure your grip size with a ruler.

Wilth your hand open and fingers extended close together, align the ruler with the bottom lateral crease of your palm and measure to the tip of your ring finger.

Note:
The majority of today's lightweight racquet's handles cannot be reduced in size. If you are between grip sizes, go with the smaller size and add an overgrip to get your ideal fit. A typical overgrip will increase a grip by 1/16 inch.
