Hello,
Has anyone noticed a change in prince grip sizes since around 2019?
I have a few old prince racquets:
- precision mono ( 90's )
- pog classic ( 2014 )
- phantom 100p 1st gen ( 2017/18? )
All are 4 3/8 and the grip feels consistent. I've had many other prince sticks over the year and never noticed a difference.
Until last summer when I tried a Phantom 100x.
The grip felt thicker and when measured, the L3 grip was actually 4 1/2".
I just got a Phantom 100G and it is the same: the grip measures a size larger than stated.
I had to go down to 4 1/4 for the familiar feel of my old racquets.
I also heard similar report from a Prince Beast user.
I used masking tape to measure the circumference, In order to stay as close as possible to the surface and to avoid any potential stretch.
All measured racquets had the same stock resi pro grip.
Distance measured is between the notches of the bottom of each strip:
