    If I wrap a new grip on the handle on my Carbonex 15 or 20 (Original), everything seems to be the same with better feel of the racket.

    But now, I wrapped my grip over the handle, and wrapped all around till almost a couple of inches of the head frame.

    Could this change the way the racket goes? Because maybe the racket is not flexible anymore when I wrapped the whole of it. Should I just wrapped it up to the handle?

    Thanks.

    I think the best way is to buy a 3 grips pack. Try wraping it all the way. Then wrap the other way. See which one is better. A grip cost you about $2 each. Learning from your experiment, PRICELESS.

    Currently my racket is gripped like this, and people say that it lossed flexibility along with power. But didn't find a difference :confused:

    I wrap my racket all the way up till the advertisement.

    And one last look. Do you think my racket would lose power and/or control if it's wrapped all the way?

    Objectively: you are definitely losing power and control.

    Subjectively: if you don't feel it and like the way the grip is, then...OK. :D

    I've tried it before just because it looked cool, didn't work for me. The balance changes a bit and it took 2 sessions of pure mishits for me to realize it was the problem. Took it off and I played like myself again.
