Grip Size Question

[TennisFischer85]

I ight now I have a 4 3/8 with two overgrips on it. it is the right size but has a spongy feel because of the two overgrips. i have ordered my new racquets with 4 3/8 grips. should i try half size or full size heat shrink sleeves to equal the grip size of my old racquet with the two overgrips?

[Virgilio]

I think I would. If you like to play with overgrip u should order a half-size, if u like to play only with original grip, then try the full size. I had the same problem and ended up ordering a 4 1/2, with the idea of not playing much with overgrips anymore.

thanks. i definately will use overgrips so ill try the half size. are the sleeves easy to put on or do i need to look for a stringer or something?

They are very very easy. I put two on in less than a minute.

i have ordered my new racquets with 4 3/8 grips.

I already ordered them so I can't go with 4 1/2. plus two overgrips dont equal a whole grip size do they?

[match]

not sure ...you might want to contact your local pro if you havent already on how to increase the size without using an abundance of overgrips

sweet. did you use a heat gun or what?Yeah. It's a Milwaukee brand one that I use for my hockey sticks as well. Any type of heat gun or hair dryer should work.

But... if you use 2 overgrips and like the size and still want to use one, a half-size sleeve plus grip plus overgrip will equal the grip plus two overgrips, but not feel so soft, which is just what you want. Yay.

I'm sorry, I don't speak english well.
Overgrip is less feeling your raquet.
Exact correct grip is only one replacement grip.
If you want expand your racquet grip use balsa-wood sheet under replacement grip. This is a well-tried.
