How to Choose the Right Tennis Racket Grip Size

>Choosing the correct grip size is important for proper racket handling and comfort during play. A grip that is too small or too large can affect control and increase strain on your arm.

Below you’ll find a general guide to help you choose the right grip size.

Tennis Racket Grip Sizes

L0: Mainly suitable for children under 10 years old.

L1: Suitable for children aged 10–12 or women with smaller hands.

L2: Usually fits most women with average hand size.

L3: The most common size for men with average hand size.

L4: Suitable for men with larger hands or longer fingers.

What if I am between two sizes?

If you are between two grip sizes, it’s usually better to choose the smaller size and add an overgrip to reach the ideal thickness.

A typical overgrip increases the grip size and adds approximately 5–10 grams to the total weight of the racket.

How to Check if the Grip Size is Correct

A simple way to check the correct size is the following:

When holding the racket in a normal grip, there should be a small gap between your fingers and your palm, roughly the width of your index finger.
