Is this my right grip size?

[Guido B]

According to the Measuring Your Grip Size section on the TW's webpage, from the bottom lateral crease of my palm throught the top of my ring finger I'm 4.52 inches.
I play with a 4 1/2" grip, I suppose that it's my grip, but I have doubts because when I catch the raquet it feels nice, but when I left it sometimes I feel a little hand-ache.
I'm afraid that it is not be my right grip size of I could have a arm, elbow, or hand hurt in the future...

TW Staff, could you give me an oppinion or something?

According to what that article says, you're using the correct grip size.

What might be causing the pain is the replacament grip and/or overgrip you're using. Get another one with a better feeling and the pain might go away.

I have always used a 4 3/8 grip size, although my correct grip size is 4 1/4. It just feels better to me. And I've never experienced tennis elbow.

Cheers,

I have a Prince leather grip, and an overgrip not so good.
It's a little weird, I'll play with it for a while, and see what happen.

I've just posted this thread at Miscellaneous>TW Questions/Comments, Because I just realized that I was posted in a wrong place!

Thanks a lot for your reply!

According to usual approach in measuring grip size I should be playing with 4 1/2. However, 4 1/2 feels HUGE in play. I use 4 1/4(same as my wife ) with 1 OG and it is perfect...

If I were you, I would go with 3/8ths. I'm around a 4 and 1/2, but it feels bulky when I hold a L4. In my experience, people like it smaller than the hand indicates.
