Im still a low intermediate player. I've recently purchased an armourtec-500. THe grip that is currently on the racket just doesnt feel right.( if feels like rubber) If I were to get a new grip, such as a towel grip, Do I wrap it over the one that came with the racket? ANd pls reccomend one for me. Heres a bit about me: Previously said, I'm a low level intermediate player, but I do sweat a lot even though I dont tire easily. Im an all round player but I have a lit trouble with my smashes. I have decent power/ smashes, but Its not that great( im working hard to improve). Ty a lot
Check out Dinkalot's overgrip review http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28708 Note these are grips which you put over an existing one, it doesn't cover replacemetn grips.
if you prefer towel grip (as i do ) then use towel grip. if you are not sure then check out dinkalot's thread. to the question of whether you should wrap the new grip on top of the original grip, that is actually up to you. if you dont want to remove the original grip, you may do so and just wrap the new grip on top of it. but you must note that doing so will make the size of your grip bigger. if, you think that wrapping the grip over the original grip will result in an uncomfortable grip size, then you can remove the original grip before you wrap a new one. i hope that answers your question.
MY at-500 is 3u g5, which means that the grip is pretty small I belive. I have a rather large palm for a teenager (19.2 cm from the bottom of the palm to top of middle finger) So If i were to get a new grip, it would be best to wrap it over the old one?
yes, if you want to keep the original grip. in fact you can wrap more than one replacement grip and adjust to your preferred grip size. do a search and you will find a lot of info on how to do that.
hehehehe. but of course. me and my towel grip go hand in hand. har har har. you should know more than anyone else.
