What's a good tennis grip for my condition?

Question

hi guys. ok so when I play tennis and on my right hand i tend to get some blisters from time to time. I notice when i hit the ball sometimes the grip will be loose on my hand. my hands doesn't produce a lot of sweat either. are there any grips u recommend for me?

Answer 1

Wilson Pro OverGrip. The white stuff that Federer uses.  I've tried out lots of different grips, and this is the best feeling most durable grip.

Answer 2

YONEX supergrab

Answer 3

Wilson pro cushion. amazing, its a little thick but its really comfortable.

a cheaper and less perminant option is hockey tape. go into any sports store and go into the hockey section. find the tape and right before you play, wrap it loosly around the finger you get the blisters on. it has good grip on it so you won't lose your grip and it should last the entire match.

Answer 4

I'm not sure that the specific grip you choose is going to do anything for you.  All you really can do is keep playing and build up calluses on your hand.  Eventually, you won't get blisters anymore.

As meanK said, though, your grip could be too small.  Go to the link below for info on seeing what grip size you should have.  The top method would be perfect for seeing if your current grip is too small.

If it is too small, I wouldn't suggest loading it up with overgrips, though.  If your grip is just half a size too small, add one overgrip.  If it's worse than that, though, you can actually have a grip built up to the size you want.  This will keep the hardness and shape of the handle that you need.  If you put too many overgrips on, it will get too mushy and lose its shape.  If you need the grip built up, ask around at some local pro shops to see if they'll do it for you.  You might have to purchase the  sleeves they use to do it, but they are just 2 bucks.

Answer 5

wilson pro over grip its tacky and ive never gotten a blister

Answer 6

Get one of the grips that are normally on the Wilson K Factor racquets. They are extremely comfortable and you will definatly not get blisters with them.

Answer 7

If the grip is too small then you will most likely get blisters.

Try adding one or two extra overgrips on top of what you are using now.

I am a big fan of the white Wilson Overgrip, it is the best overgrip by far and I have been using it for years.
