There are a few different ways that you can measure your tennis racket grip size. The most common way is to use a ruler or a tape measure. You can also use your hand to measure the grip size. If you are using a ruler or tape measure, you will need to measure the circumference of the tennis racket grip.
How to measure your tennis racket grip size
There are a few different ways that you can measure the grip size of your tennis racket, but the most common and accurate way is to use a grip size chart. You can usually find these charts at your local sporting goods store or online.
To use a grip size chart, you will need to know the length of your hand in inches. Place your hand on a flat surface with your fingers extended and measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Once you have this measurement, you can consult a grip size chart to find the corresponding racket grip size.
Another way to measure your tennis racket grip size is to wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your hand, just below the knuckles. Again, consult a grip size chart to find the corresponding racket grip size.
If you don’t have access to a measuring tape or a grip size chart, you can also use a ruler or even a credit card to estimate your tennis racket grip size. Simply place your hand on a flat surface with your fingers extended and measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Use this measurement to find the corresponding racket grip size on a ruler or credit card. Remember that this method is not as accurate as using a tape measure or a grip size chart.
Measuring your tennis racket grip size with a ruler
To accurately measure your tennis racket grip size, you will need a ruler or a tape measure. Once you have your ruler, simply measure the circumference of your hand just below your fingers, as shown in the pictures below.
Once you have your hand measurement, refer to the tennis racket grip size chart below to determine which size grip is right for you. If you are between two sizes, it is generally better to go with the smaller size grip.

When you are looking for a new tennis racket, it is important to find one that has the right grip size for your hand. The grip size is the measurement of the circumference of the racket handle. It is usually measured in inches or centimeters. To find the grip size that is right for you, use a measuring tape to measure the width of your hand at the widest part, which is usually the area between your thumb and first finger.

There are a few things to consider when you are trying to find the perfect grip size for your tennis racket: grip circumference, grip thickness, and grip length. The most important measurement is grip circumference, which is the distance around your racket handle. You can measure this by wrapping a measuring tape around the handle so that it crosses in the middle of your palm, as shown in the image below.
If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can also use a string or piece of paper. Once you have wrapped it around the handle, mark the spot where it crosses, and then measure the length of the string with a ruler. Grip circumference is typically measured in inches or centimeters.
For men’s tennis rackets, the standard grip size is 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm). However, if your grip circumference is less than 4 inches (10.2 cm), you will need to use a smaller grip size — typically 4 inches (10.2 cm). If your grip circumference is more than 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm), you will need to use a larger grip size — typically 5 inches (12.7 cm).
If you are unsure of your racket’s current grip size, you can usually find this information printed on the butt cap (the end of the handle). Just look for a small circle with a number inside of it; this is usually located on the bottom of the racket near where your hand goes when you are holding it in an eastern backhand grip.

The right grip size is essential to playing your best tennis. A grip that is too small will cause you to grip the racket too tightly, leading to overuse injuries such as tennis elbow. A grip that is too large will make it difficult to control your shots. You should be able to slide your index finger comfortably between the space at the base of your palm and the top of the racket handle.
To measure your grip size, you will need a ruler or a tape measure. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your hand, not including your thumb, and make a note of the measurement in inches or centimeters. You can then use the chart below to find the corresponding grip size for your racket. If you are between sizes, it is better to choose the smaller size for more control or the larger size for more power.
-4 inches or less = Smaller than Extra Small (XS)
-4 to 4 1/2 inches = Extra Small (XS)
-4 1/2 to 5 inches = Small (S)
-5 to 5 1/2 inches = Medium (M)
-5 1/2 inches or more = Large (L)
