been wondering about this for awhile...
doesn't seem like the bigger players play bigger racquet grip sizes.... don't have the list in front of me, but i seem to recall that mirnyi and safin don't play any bigger grips than the majority of ATP players. FWIW, nadal is a 2, which is smaller than most. almost all players seem to play with 3 or 4 grip.
should the grip size not go up with the player's size i.e. at the extreme should a player with a 50% larger than average hand play a 50% larger grip? or is there something to do with the weight and size of the racquets that dictates that all sized players play pretty similar grip size.
not sure everything i've said is correct.... i have big hands and i'll been all over grip size continuim and now i'm back to smaller grip (make sure you have a fairly new overgrip though)..
thanks in advance!!
