Before you step on court
How to wrap a tennis racquet grip.
Work over your existing grip, keeping the cotton layers flat. Follow the directions on your Guard-Tex package.
- 01 / START
Begin at the handle base.
Start near the butt cap. Make an overlapping turn so the tape contacts itself. Unroll the tape without stretching it.
- 02 / OVERLAP
Work up the handle.
Rotate the racquet and guide the roll in a steady spiral. Overlap each pass with the previous layer and smooth as you go.
- 03 / FINISH
Press. Check. Play.
Finish with tape overlapping tape, then press the layers together. Check the grip feels secure in your hand before playing.
Add layers for a thicker grip or remove outer layers for a thinner feel. Adjust the thickness to your preference, refresh worn layers as needed, and check the grip before playing.
