Smile ps 6.0 85 - changing grip

I use the ps 6.0 85 with an L3 grip. I like the leather grip but its a tiny bit too small.

Can someone please give me some advice on which leather grip to replace it with if i want it slightly bigger?

I would probably want an increase in size that is similar to putting a really thin over grip on top what i have now.

Leather grips are expensive and last a long time so i don't want to make a bad decision.

I have been thinking of the tennis warehouse leather grips. Would the thicker version of those grips be what i am looking for? or would it be too thick?

I know the questions are pretty specific but any personal experiences with leather grips in general would be appreciated.

Heat shrink wraps would be great for your situation. They can build up the grip size by 1/8 ( Black color ) and 1/16 ( White color ). Links are provided below.

1/8 build up :

1/16 build up :

For the heat gun, just use a hair dryer. Or a oven or stove. Tried the oven and it worked pretty well and fast. I just kept spinning the racquet in the oven since it covered 2 sides of the racquet. But just make sure not to burn it or melt it to a point where it starts dripping. <-- From my experience.

I vaguely recall reading on the forums that the Volkl leather is thicker than other brands. Or was that heavier...or both..? Sorry, I'm no help.. haha
