babolat grip sizes VS other racquet grip sizes

[Chase_B]

Ok, i have a Head racquet with a 4 3/8 size grip with overgrip that feels really good. And a tecnifibre with 4 1/2 size grip with overgrip that feels sorta big.

Do you all think i could get a babolat Aero pro drive cortex in a 4 1/4 size grip with overgrip and still feel comportable or would it be a big difference?

Or should i go larger in the babolat grip sizes?


I have seen lots of posts about the babolat grip size difference i just cant find the same answer.

Any help?

Babolat tend to run a little big compared to most others. 1/4 grip would be safe, you can always add an extra overgrip if needed.

A Babolat 4 1/4 with two overgrips seem to be about equal as a Head 4 3/8, depending on how thick the replacement grip is. Like the post above said, 4 1/4 would be the safer choice. You can buy a thicker replacement grip or use two overgrips.

Basically the sizes of all brands are the same in circumference.

It's all because of the difference in grip shape. For example Babolat, Wilson and Prince grips FEEL bigger than Head because of their squarish rounder shape vs Head rectangular shape.

I have a Head Microgel OS in grip size:

5 ( 4 5/8 ) - and it is perfect
