Just as it's telling how someone plays by the place they wear out the strings, how do you wear out racquet grips, and what does that tell you? I used to find that my racquet grips were mainly replaced just due to sweat and discolouration, so I changed them frequently and didn't really notice wearing out. Recently, I use a thinner overgrip that wears faster, and the wear spot is just where my thumb joint sits. That is between bevel 7 and 8 in the following image: https://www.tennisplayer.net/public.../evolution_modern_forehand_part1/8-Bevels.jpg I have no idea what that means - whether it is good or bad, but was curious as to your own experiences and findings!
I change my grips when the feel has gone. Not sure how to place any significance to your findings except perhaps you hold the racquet too tightly?
I think my racket wears in the same place. My thumb also gets rough on the edge of that joint. I think it gets worn there from the constant smashing.
