Hey guys, my pinky finger on my right hand keeps slipping off my grip when I hit my forehand. This has to be the most annoying thing that has happened to me and my game, as I am playing very well, breaking into the next level. I need to keep my hand on my grip so it stops sliding. I'm using the Yonex Super-tack grips, I think that is the name. I need someone to get my pinky to stick, I don't like choaking up a lot more because I lose my depth and spin. Any help would be awesome.

Thanks

My hand slipping off of my grip lead to the death of my i.Radical.

Maybe your grip size is too big?...

If not, you're hand might just be too sweaty-in that case, wear a wristband.

what does a wrist band do? My pinky slips off the back, the rest of my fingers stay on the racquet, its so annoying trying to control the ball with only three fingers and a thumb on the racquet

Get over grips and change them as it wares out

If your fingers aren't gripping well, it means your grip is too big or too small.. Try an overgrip too.

Another thing you might consider is adding some tape at the butt end to create a larger knob - try a few wraps at first using athletic tape around 1/2" wide. Then use a overgrip over the entire handle. Although some like a larger knob at the bottom, like the end of a hockey stick, I would be somewhat carefull because you want you hand, especially the pinky, to be off the handle at times.

yeah, I was thinking about doing that, I'll give it a shot.

What about Fusion Grip Resin, would that help keep my hand from twisting around and my pinky from coming off? I don't think my grips are too small, they are the right size I'm pretty sure.

I'm using the Yonex Synthetic Super Grap Right now.

Any other suggestions on grips? I like the feel of the Yonex because it allows me to move my hands easier and quickly between different grips I use on my shots, other grips tend to be to sticky. Suggestions would be awesome

I'm also using a western grip, not a semi-western but more of a western.
