I recently ordered a racket in the wrong size, my size is a 1/4 and I ordered a 1/8, which is only a 1/8 difference, is this a big enough deal to send it back and order another and wait a few more weeks, or can I just put 2 over grips on it and be fine?
Hi all, new to tennis started about 2 months ago and recently started group lessons. I have a slinger machine and try to practice a few times a week, I have two HEAD GEO Speed Graphite Tennis Rackets in one is size 3 the other is size 4.

How do manufacturers maintain a racquet's specification weight when the racquet comes in different grip sizes? With bigger grip sizes, there is more material and hence mass at the handle. So to maintain a given specification weight as grip size goes bigger, something has got to give, but what...
If you had to increase your grip by one size, what method would you chose?

I was able to fit index finger perfectly in 4 1/4 and 4 1/8 with 4 1/8 being more tighter, snugger fit for my...
I've been demoing the Yonex DR 98 and loving it so far. I usually play with an L4 grip, but I've been using L2 and L3 racquets on this demo and very happy with the switch.
Problem is, I can't decide... the L2 just feels right in my hands but my fingers occasionally touch my palm depending on...
All my smaller rackets from an 89.5 sq in Head Comp Tour to a 99 sq in Wilson Steam 99S (plus a Spalding and a Babolat in between) have the same string pattern 'extent', which is what I'm calling the distance between the outermost strings.
i.e. for those rackets there is about 247 mm between...
It's very clear that no professional players use the maximum racquet head size. The few who have tried 125 have switched back to smaller models after not having the best results.
So, the question here is: Is the current maximum racquet size rule arbitrarily set or is there a credible scientific...
