There are a couple of ways of ensuring you have the right grip size. You’ll need a ruler or tape measure for the first method. Lay your racquet hand flat and measure from the bottom lateral crease - that’s the crease that goes across your palm - to the tip of your index finger.

You can measure in centimetres and millimetres or in inches. Then take a look at the chart below to see which grip size you should take. That distance, between palm crease and finger tip, is the size of grip you need.

For the second method, pick up and grip a HEAD racquet. If the racquet is the correct grip size, you should be able to fit the index finger of your other hand between your fingers and thumb.

If you can’t fit your finger in that space, then the grip is too small for your hand. And if you can fit a finger between the fingers and thumb, and there’s still plenty of space, you’ll know that the grip is too big
