πŸ“ Tennis Grip Size Guide for Beginners

Choosing the correct grip size is essential for control, comfort, and injury prevention. Here’s how to quickly find the right fit:



βœ‹ Ruler Test (At Home)

  1. Place your hand palm-up.
  2. Align a ruler along your ring finger (from tip to second crease in the palm).
  3. The measurement in inches is your grip size.


πŸ‘ˆ Finger Test (With a Racket)

  1. Hold the racket with a forehand grip.
  2. Slide your index finger of your opposite hand between your fingers and palm.
  3. If it fits snugly, it’s the correct size. Too tight = too small. Too much space = too large.
