ello all... need your (professional) advise on my gripsize! Got my armortec 700 G4 and my mp99 G2... I've been playing a lot with the mp99 lately, now the problem is that my hand is hurting... It's aching around my thumb-joint... So I switched back to my armortec during that night and played almost without any trouble... Haven't got the mp99 that long, and I thought it might be also the stiffness of the 2U racket that's causing this. When I borrowed a mp88 G2 from a friend and played with that, I played with a lot whipping and needed less power to get good clears. So I'm going back to the shop on tuesday and trade my mp99 in for a mp88... But I'm a little bit confused bout the gripsize.... To add: I've got average sized hands, but got good strength in my hands!
Sorry.. have a mp99 2U/G3 instead of G2.... So you think it might be caused by getting less whipping-action due to the grip-size?? Then I'll try the G4!
I suggest smaller grip size too. When I started to play badminton, I wrapped my G4 handle with thick layer of overgrip. It was a mistake for me because it limited my ability of learning and exploring new skills. Although it generated loud sound, it wasn't translated into speed. Now, I am free of restriction to learn new skills.
