    Would putting 2 overgrips straight onto the wood be the same as the original grip and a overgrip?

    IME 2 layers of g08 is the same thickness as an original grip. So you'd need 3.

    It really depends on how much overlap you use in my experience. With 1 layer of full 50% overlap using g09 grips, the grip seems to be slightly thicker than original grip.

    Stretching and how much u overlap makes a huge difference. I put a heavily stretched no overlap on top of original grip, then top layer half stretched, half overlap. This is on a G5 handle. Think it makes it comparable to a G3-G4 with 1 overgrip. I used to put similar but on wood if its a g3.

    Not sure why these days all rackets are g4 and g5 which I find too small (I dont have big hands either).
