Could you also tell me what teh thickness ratings mean (my racket is currently g3, but what does g4 etc mean). <br>Thanks people </html> Cheung 01-23-2000, 03:53 PM <html>In general, smaller diameter grip allows more wrist movement and allows the racquet handle to be manoevered within the hand easier i.e. when switching from backhand to forehand grip.<br>Drawback is that if its too small, when you swing really hard, it may slip out of the hand!<p>And vice versa for the large grip.<p>This is only very general and in the end, people just try out different diameters until it feels really comfortable.<p>As a starter to getgrip size, grip the racquet with fairly firm strength with your normal forehand grip. <br>Adjust the grip so that your fingers can reach round to just touch that fleshy bit underneath the thumb.<br>Then try the racquet out. Adjust up or down to suit yourself<p>G3/G4...if it's a Yonex racquet G3 is bigger than G4.<p>Cheung<p><br>: hi,<br>: could someone tell me what difference grip thickness makes please, and how i would go about getting the correct thickness for my racket.
