There used to be a tennis sock that went around your hand and then around the racket handle. Ordinary racketball gloves also work well, though you might want to use a special racket with a slightly smaller grip.

Cold makes the air in pressurized balls contract, thereby reducing the pressure and making them play dead. I find that pressureless balls keep their bounce better in cold temperature. That makes sense when you realize that the first pressureless tennis balls were made in Sweden (Tretorn brand).
