How to Wrap a Tennis Racket

A tennis racket is a vital piece of equipment for any tennis player. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to wrap a tennis racket properly to avoid any damage.

Introduction

If you play tennis, sooner or later you will have to re-grip your racket. Re-gripping is a simple and inexpensive way to improve your game. By replacing an old, worn out grip with a new one, you can increase your comfort and control when hitting the ball. You will also have a better grip on your racket if your hands are sweaty.

There are two main types of racket grips: overgrips and replacement grips. Overgrips go over the existing grip on your racket, while replacement grips replace the old grip entirely. Replacement grips are thicker than overgrips and can make your racket feel heavier. Many players prefer overgrips because they are thinner and do not change the weight or balance of the racket.

When re-gripping your racket, you will need:
-A new grip
-Scissors
-Double-sided tape or adhesive spray
-A wrap (optional)

Follow the instructions below to wrap a new grip on your tennis racket.

Materials Needed

To wrap a tennis racket, you will need:
-Tennis racket
-Grip
-Overgrip
-Towel
-Scissors
-Racket grip adhesive (optional)

Steps

Wrap the tennis racket’s handle with an overgrip. Start at the bottom of the handle, and wind the grip upward. Wrap it tightly, but don’t make it so tight that it feels uncomfortable in your hand.

Secure the overgrip with tape. Use athletic or duct tape to secure the end of the overgrip. Make sure the tape is wrapped around the entire circumference of the handle, not just part of it. This will keep the overgrip from slipping during use.

Repeat this process with a second overgrip, if desired. Some players prefer to use two overgrips, for extra comfort and absorbency. If you choose to do this, make sure that the second overgrip iswrapped in the opposite direction of the first one (i.e., if you wrapped the first one clockwise, wrap the second one counterclockwise). This will help keep both grips in place.

Wrap a leather grip around the handle. Start at the bottom of the handle, and wind the grip upward until you reach the top. As with the overgrips, wrap this tightly but not too tightly.

Finish by securing the leather grip with tape. Use athletic or duct tape to secure the end ofthe leather grip in place. Once again, make sure thatthe tape is wrapped aroundthe entire circumference ofthe handlebefore trimming off any excess Tape
