What grip/headsize for my tennis racquet?

Question

I played with a prince thundercloud one time and it felt AMAZING, but I've no idea what grip and head sizes to order. I'm a girl if that makes any difference? It comes in the following grip/headsizes:

1/8

1/4

3/8

1/2

5/8

I don't know what the size was on the one that I played with... hmmm. And if anyone thinks that a different racquet is superior, do tell! I'm trying to find some backups before I go for college tennis.

Answer 1

Since your a girl (not anything against girls), your grip size is based on the size of your hand. 1/8 - 1/4 is recommended for  small hands, 3/8, 1/2, and 5/8 are for medium to larger hands. You most likely would need 1/4 to 1/2. And head size most likely 3/8 to 5/8. By the way a good playing racket would be a Prince O3 hybrid shark or O3 white. Search for O3's that suit your style, after all we all have different qualities that we like in a racket so go for whatever you think is best for you.  

Answer 2

there are two ways to find your grip size, but assuming that you don't have access to all the sizes you might have to just measure your palm with a ruler.

and I don't think the thundercloud comes in any other headsizes aside from the 110 inches. You should check out the Volkl DNX 2 Attiva - I held it a couple times and it was really lightweight and evenly balanced. Very similar to the ThunderCloud. Just look for rackets that have a lighter head and larger head (105+ inches).
