Hi, Can anyone tell me is it possible to change the whole racket handle ? Maybe it is impossible but no harm asking right ? I have just bought a new APACS NANOPOWER 7000, tried/played it for 10 minutes and felt the handle is too small for me. If cannot change the whole handle, I might as well sell it away. I overlooked checking the size. The rest of it is fine with me. any advise is good. thanks.
You can change the actual handle but it would be incredibly difficult and there is a large chance of completely ruining the feel of the racket. However, there is an alternative. Why not just add some more grips to add some thickness to the handle?
agree, just add grips and maybe some tape. however, i believe it is possible to change the wooden handle. my advice, ask taneepak, b/c he probably know for sure..
The circumference of handle/grip Yonex SOTX mm inches radius G3 4 89 3.5 14.2 G4 3 86 3.375 13.7 G5 2 83 3.25 13.2 Standard electrical tape is roughly 7 mil thick (unstretched). 1 mil=0.025mm. So electrical tape is about 0.175mm thick. Therefore, almost three layers of electrical tape is equal to a change in one size. It's cheap and easy to try different sizes. The other advantage is you can remove and re-wrap base grip without the adhesive ripping out the wood if it is bare.
Thank you all for replying to my thread. From all your advise I have found a solution. Not sure if it is gonna be good or not but I am willing to try it out later. I just bought a Scotch 3M Heavy Duty Mounting Tape. It stated a strong double thick foam tape which can hold up to 2lbs. (900g). I am going to roll it evenly on the handle. Then roll the playing grip over it.
Use 3M Heavy Duty Tape will change the BP considerably. But if BP of racket doesnt bother much to you, then it's good way.
