    A couple days ago, I saw this guy, his racket's butt was really fat. What are the benefits? How do I grip my racket that way?

    maybe so when your holding the racket at the bottom of the handle it won't slip out?

    Gripping it like that isn't too complicated, there's a video on YouTube where it's mentioned. I'd link it but.....can't. If you search "badantsider racket grip" it should come up.

    it all comes down to personal preference on how you like the grip. i suppose if its more comfortable to you, there's no reason not to do so.

    i'm guessing you could make it by adding a replacement grip and a bunch of overgrips on....making almost a tennis racket handle size
