Semi-Pro
I had been playing with a grip size of 4 1/2 with overgrip, but recently i put on another overgrip, making it 4 5/8. I seem to have big hands and I have done the measuring thing, where you see if you can fit one finger between where you wrap your whole hand around the handle. This made me hit better. With a 4 3/8 grip, I find it hard to control the racquet because I have to stop it from moving around in my hand, and it makes calluses on my hand as well.
But I have a question. Doesn't Federer use a 3/8 grip size? My friend has told me alot of people play with small grip sizes, and that my grip size is way too big. But i find it hard to hit with small grip sizes. And does small grip size lead to more control of the racquet because of your whole hand holding the handle, or does a bigger grip size help control it because the racquet doesn't move around in your hand? I just want some opinions, because I'm confused whether or not I'm playing the right way.
