Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and am also wondering if any of you could help me out in choosing the correct grip for my needs. I am primarily a power player and I only play doubles. I'm 6'0 and weigh 190 lbs. I had just recently bought the Wilson Attacker and I want to and a grip to it. Which kind of grip should I get and will adding an additional grip affect the HH and 2U specs of the racquet? Thank you for your help,
Hi, welcome to the forum. How you grip a racket is a very much an individual preference. Some people take off the original grip and use a thin overgrip directly onto the wood, whereas some people add grips on top of the original grip. If the original grip feels comfortable then I cant see any reason to change it. When its worn then to maintain a similar thickness change the original grip for something like a karakal pu super grip. The thickness of your grip can affect the feel you have of the racket and also can lead to tennis elbow if the grip is too thin. If you have any of those issues then adjust your grip as required.
I'm just saying I'm adding it, it always depends on what's really happening. Same with the weight of rackets and elbow injuries, either too heavy or too light can favor injuries (it pretty much never is THE cause). For grips, it's the same, it can be the vibration through the thin grip, it can be gripping too tightly the thin grip, it can be having gripping issues on a thicker grip... I really just wanted to add that when reading your post, nothing of what you wrote is wrong.
