Grip Size issue on Babolat APDGT

[batesie79]

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased an APDGT with a 4 3/8 grip size, which is what my grip size should be. After i got it, i felt like the grip is a tad bit larger for me. I've played with Head, Wilson, and Prince rackets before with a 4 3/8 grip size with no issues. Is it just me or do Babolat grips run a tad larger than other brands?

Also, is there any way to fix this issue?

Thanks.

It's the syntec grip. Change it with a grip of your choice.

Yep! Your patience is the solution Give it some time and it'll compress and feel normal...

I also have the APDGT in a 3/8 grip, and I replaced both my racquets with the Babolat Skin Feel Grip, and it feels much better. If I order another APDGT, I would go with the 1/4 grip instead of 3/8.

Same here for one of my APDGT's and not for the other. I had one that I had to replace with the Skin Feel Grip and one that was fine. They do tend to run a little larger though.
