Pro's RACQUET grip 'sizes'...???

[D. Nelson]

...I've always been interested in the grip SIZES that some of the pros use...for different reasons....I was noticing that Safin looks like he uses a TINY grip size....his handle almost looks like it gets LOST in his hand..... I've tried all manner and variation....just for experimenting's sake....and there ARE some REAL advantages to different grip sizes/shapes.... It seems that a small(er) grip really helps my 2-hander/serve/topspin forehand....but TERRIBLE for volleying/sharp crosscourt angles --- big(ger) grip really helps with volleys/serves/Eastern forehand/forehand angles....but not NEARLY as easy on western forehands/2-handed b.h.s...!?!?!? Getting back to the issue....does anybody have the facts of pros RACQUET grip size and/or shape ???

Jay's Custom Stringing in New York used to list alot of player's racket specs including grip size on their website. It was surprising to see how many big guys were using grips smaller than 5/8.

who the **** cares? what their grip size is

[alexdedo81]

so... does anybody knows about their grip size? how about Federer and Nalbandian?

[ProStaffTour90]

I thought they would have totally custom grips made, perfect for them , so few would have regulation sizes!

Federer has stated in an interview he uses an L3 grip size (4 3/8 ).

IIRC, Sampras uses 4 5/8.

[Lambro]

Fish uses a 4 3/8"

Roddick a 4 1/2"

stated by Pmac on screen during the Cincy masters 03

smaller grip gives you more torque, bigger grip gives you more control.

[PrestigeClassic]

Maybe Sampras' BARE HANDLE is 4 5/8.
