Which Wilson tennis grip is the thinnest? The thickest? Overall the best?

Question

It would help if you listed as much grips as possible, from thinnest to greatest.

Answer 1

First of all, there are two standard types of grips: replacement and overgrip. The replacement grip goes directly onto the racquet handle and is generally thick with cushioning. The overgrip is very, very thin and goes over the replacement grip to build up grips, or add tackiness/extra absorption.

Each company has standard overgrips with different tackiness levels.

The Wilson grips are pretty neutral in terms of REPLACEMENT grips. But if you're looking for different sized replacement grips, here's a few:

Thick: Babolat Cusion Air, any grip with "Contour" in the title (these grips have a little ridge on the strip that will allow for extra grab)

Neutral: Wilson Micro-Dry Max, Micro-Dry Comfort, etc.

Thin: Volkl DNX grip, Babolat Syntec grip

I've combined only a few companies, but there are many to choose from!

The best thing to do is go to your local tennis shop or pro shop to try out the latest products.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Generally they start at 4 1/4" and go to 4 5/8" but I'm sure if you wanted a bigger raquet handle you could get one. You also can "build" a bigger grip by adding additional grip tape like Babolat, Prince, etc. to meet the desired thickness. Smaller grips are available in Junior sizes but are not generally sized. As for the best size, there is none- BUT a way to get close is to grab a raquet, kinda like you'd grab a hammer and if you can place a middle finger between your palm and your wrapped- around fingers just barely, then you have a great starting point.
