How to Shrink a Tennis Racket Grip

ID: 165641

Description: The purpose of this repair is to explain how to...

Steps:

1. Pull the tape until it comes off of the grip.
2. Use a sharp object to cut it off if needed.

3. If your racket does not have an overgrip on it, then skip this step.
4. There is a good chance it is sticky.

5. Attach the smaller end of the new overgrip to the bottom of the handle.
6. Wrap the overgrip around the handle, parallel to the bottom of the grip.

7. Pull the grip tightly, leaving little to no open areas between the different parts of the overgrip.
8. Leave a little overlap between each row of your grip.
9. Most of your overgrip should cover the handle instead of a lower row of overgrip.
10. Make each row as close to the same size as possible.

11. It should tie the end of the grip to the rest of the racket.
12. I did not cut the end of the overgrip with scissors. If you want the grip to fit better, cut the end of the overgrip off at a 45 degree angle.
