Just watched your video and gripped my racket. Took 5 minutes! Thanks for your tutorial. Worked like a charm. Looks professionally done!
hectorsoy that’s great to hear! Thanks for the comment!
I had never changed a grip before and was able to do it very well in my first try after watching the tutorial! Thank you very much!
Awesome to hear!
Same, thank God is saw this video. Thanks coach Daniel.
Busted my grip at a tournament today. This video saved me!!!!
That’s awesome! Thank you for the comment! Hopefully this helped pull out a win!
Most precise tutorial ever! Thank you
Thank you so much! Glad it helped! Any other tutorials you’d like to see?
Thanks for the nice video! I followed this instruction and successfully replaced the grip on my Babolat Pure Aero.
Great to hear!
Excellent video is every way. Good , clear sound. good pace of instruction. great coach moment. thanks!
Aaron Jones thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!
Thank you very much for the tutorial! But you could’ve shown the tutorial on how to do it if you don’t have that thing in the bottom of the racket, because I didn’t have it but the tutorial still helped a bunch❤
Really good demo, my racket looks like a pro put it on.
Judy Cross awesome!
I used a different grip tape with NO adhesive at all--Tourna Grip Blue XL. However, your video helped me change 2 different grips for my Wilson rackets. It's not perfect, but the grips are installed and fuctional; thank you for posting this how to video! :)
Awesome! Glad to help! Tournagrip doesn’t have any adhesive as it is actually an over grip meant to be wrapped over top the factory installed grip (or replacement grip). ua-cam.com/video/8EsT0wVchVI/v-deo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE is my video on putting on an over grip! Hope this helps too!
@@HammerItTennis Since I just wrapped 2 rackets, any harm using it or will I have to start over? This means buying a grip with adhesive and then wrapping the over grip 2 more times for each racket. Your thoughts are appreciated!
@@evanm.jacobson1514 the factory grip and “replacement” grips not only have adhesive, but they are considerably thicker. Also, the racquets grip size is figured with the thicker grip. This helps give you more cushioning between your hand and the hard handle. I would suggest getting a replacement grip and then over gripping with your Tournagrip.
@@HammerItTennis Thank you for the advice. I will do as you suggested… Again, your guidance is appreciated. Carpe Diem! EJ
@@evanm.jacobson1514 let me know how it works out!
Thank you! Easy to understand and right to the point. 👏
Thank you!
Thank you for this detailed and thoughtful tutorial
Glad you like it!
Thanks a lot, very informative and saved me a headache.
Glad to help!
Came back for a refresher. Great video. Thanks again!
Never changed one. Did it properly after this 🤟🏼
Awesome! That’s great to hear!
Thank you
Thanks, this helped.
stogierogy thanks for the comment! Glad it helped!
Good job!
Thank you! Glad you like the content!
Q: how often does. Racket need to be re-strung? 👍🏼👍🏼
Obviously you’ll restring if/when strings break, but the frequency of restringing will depend on a lot of factors. How often you play, where you store your racquets, and the string type. A very general rule of thumb is if you don’t break strings playing, is to restring a year the amount of days you play per week. So if you typically play 2-3 days a week, restring at least 2-3 times each year.
Thank you! Ever tried to cut shorten a racquet? Why you ask? My dtr started playing tennis shes 9 and she wants to compete. But USTA wants her to start at 25in. She loves her current adult size racquet. I want to cut and rewrap the grip. What you think?
I would not recommend cutting an adult racquet down for a junior. Most major racquet brands have specifically designed racquets for juniors. Not just the cheap two piece metal designs, but basically adult frames that are scaled down. The grip size on an adult racquet is probably too big as well. Most adult racquets are not smaller than a 1 (4 1/8 inch grip). Junior racquets will fit your child's hands much better.
Oh god, thank you!
Welcome!
Super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. I am using Ultra Wrap Wilson grip and it is coming with a plastic on one side. That side should go inside or outside of the racket?
Marcelo Elgueta the side that is covered with plastic generally goes on the outside. Usually it helps keep a little tack to the grip. Some grips it’s more of a protective layer from itself when it’s in the package.
@@HammerItTennis thank you!!
good tips..
Healthy Wonders thank you! Glad it helps
👍
Can you pls link that grip and does it feel nice? im new to tennis so i want to make sure my racquet is fine cuz my grip rn feels weird..
and feels overgrip nice with this grip?
There are links in the comment section for the different replacement grips and also for tournagrip overgrip (My personal favorite overgrip). I have also included links here - (Tournagrip overgrip- amzn.to/2MXate4) (Babolat replacement grip - amzn.to/2o9HM5q)
I like tournagrip overgrips. What grip is currently on your racquet?
@@HammerItTennis yeah im so dumb i used overgrip as replacement grip... i use Wilson pro
@@HammerItTennis cheers!
Every time I get a new grip it starts to tear in 3-4 days is the it bc the grip I have trash lol?
How is it tearing? Like what kind of tearing and where?
@@HammerItTennis idk how to describe it but it's like wearing down where I hold my racket which is towards the bottom
@@real_kunakintai5325 does it wear a hole through the grip? What kind/brand of grip are you using?
@@HammerItTennis yea it wears a whole through the grip and idk the brand
@@real_kunakintai5325 well you might try a different brand first. Second, sounds like you’ve got too tight grip pressure. You want to hold the grip, but not squeeze so tight your white knuckling the handle. The butt cap flares out at the end to keep the racquet from flying out of your hand. Try to lighten your grip pressure.
what a sound !?
Why would I need to change my replacement grip?
After a lot of use they begin to break down and you lose the cushion of the grip. Ultimately if it is used too much they tear up, although not as easily as an over grip.
@HammerItTennis I usually use my Babolat Pure Aero 23, and cushioning is great, but I'm trying and old Yonex R-27 with original grip and it feels very hard. Maybe I should change it then. Part of my thumb hurts.
@@bryanjonathan1580 absolutely I would change the grip! Changing the grip with a new grip should restore the cushion. Some players prefer that hard feeling and they’ll use a leather grip. The level of cushioning is up to you but if you prefer the cushion then replacing with a cushioning type grip should help out your thumb.
I hate when videos have background music!
Sorry! I try different approaches to making videos and some work better than others! The background music can sometimes help cover over unwanted background noise though!
Great video. Need to lose the music, though. Very distracting.
what music? you’re crazy
There is music
Some tennis videos don't explain it very well, but you are showing every detail of what to do. Thank you for helping to change the grip on my own racquet.
Thank you! Glad to help!
haven’t played tennis in 5 and a half years and had to contour my racquet. watched this video, did it in 5 minutes and it worked amazing
Thanks! I remember the pro shop (back in the 1970s and 1980s!) would use a staple tool to anchor the grip when starting the wrap. Is this not necessary any more? Thanks, Kurt
The staple will secure the grip the best, but finding a tacker that small can be hard now a days. Most grips have adhesive where the grip starts that holds pretty well.
Thanks now I can get a better grip now its time to get back into the game
Had to regrip my racket for the first time and thanks to you it was a success. Thanks
Awesome!
Noticed the ring. Good to see my tennisbros are living happy, healthy, fulfilling lives.
She even makes a few cameos if you know which videos to watch!
Oh god guys, so i was taking out my racket’s band today and because of i’ve never done it before, that look underneath totally shook me and i thought i somehow managed to take out racket’s main grip thing??! Should had come here first ahahh thanks for the tutorial!
It isn’t always pretty under the grip! Lol 😂 glad you were able to get your grip fixed up!
It's all about the scissors! 🤣🤣🤣
Ong
Dude, this is not a 9 minute video. Seriously.
Your right! It's a 9:18 min video! ;)
thank you for the tutorial! it has never been so easy - I replaced my grip for 2nd time in my life😁 and your tips were so in hand!
Perfect instructions, appreciate it!! Very thorough! Thanks,
literally my first time ever playing tennis and I had to change the grip on my friends old rackets, video helped me get it first try!!!
I have just changed the grip the first time and it looks very cool, thank you :-)
I was looking all day for a tutorial to regrip my rackets by myself for the first time and this was the best video I found! Very clarifying and easy to understand
Glad to help! Thank you!
wayy too long of a vid... just to wrap a grip
Thank you for this very detailed instruction! This is what I was looking for but not finding on other people's videos. 🙌
WoW Thank You this a super clear explanation the best Video to this and I watched a bunch
@@mgm380 thank you!
Thank you for this very detailed vid. This was my fourth to watch and the only one that actually shows what you’re doing. ❤
Thank you! I’m glad it helped!
Just replaced my grip that was starting to rot and peel in the attic..I bought a new grip and did it in 5 minutes..Now I feel like I have a brand new racket..Thank you very much for the fantastic video...
Thanks for watching and letting me know!
Informative and made it approachable for someone who has never done it before. Took only a few minutes and now my racquet is ready to go again.
That’s great to hear! Glad you were able to regrip your racquet yourself by following this tutorial!
Thank you Sir but do you have a video that shows how to apply a “replacement grip” to a Wilson Blade v8 or v9 please? This is a nightmare because the end of the butt cap is round and the tape does not stick down when you fold it over as the adhesive only covers the centre of the grip. Poor design by Wilson.
A few weeks ago I took off the thick 'grip' like material and I've purchased what I believe is an 'overgrip'. Without replacing the thick foundation grip, I just put an overgrip on the racket and it honestly feels quite nice. Are there any drawbacks to doing this, besides like gloves in baseball that reduce vibration or something?
Depending on the type of material that your grip is made of, which usually is a hard foam type material (could be plastic), it could possibly damage the grip its self as you will be putting more pressure on the material than you would if the force was dispersed by the thicker replacement grip. Also, if the bevels are "sharp" you will more than likely develop some bad blisters on your hand, and as you mentioned feel ALOT more vibration and "stingers" on off center hits. If you prefer the more firm feel I would recommend putting a leather replacement grip for a more traditional feel but still protect the grip material and your hand.
Here are some grips Wilson Leather Grip: amzn.to/3i7bkXE
Tourna Leather Grip: amzn.to/2DqNJCx
Gamma Leather Grip: amzn.to/2DJOTso
If you feel that only using an over grip feels better, it’s probably because the original racket and grip had too wide of a grip. You’ll definitely lose out on vibration dampening but I would look for a smaller racket grip overall.
There are lots of guides to determining what size you need online
Great video! Thanks for the helpful instruction!
This is very helpful. Thanks! The scissors endorsement is quite funny.
Still use them almost everyday! Honestly they are the best scissors!
My grip is coating my hands with black powder. Time for a new one. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! You know it is time to replace your grip when it starts coming off on your hands!
Follow these instructions and now my grip feels larger than my other racquet… not sure what I did wrong😢
Are both racquet grips the same size? Also a new grip is going to feel larger typically because it isn’t worn down. Also sometimes players have a tendency to over lap too much and that will make the grip feel larger!
hi there kinda an offtopic question but where did you get the rubber band that protects the tape from? Every once in a while I have to retape it because it keeps falling off
You can order some from different places. Here is a link to Tennis Express for Tourna brand ones: www.tennisexpress.com/tourna-grip-bands-70474 I use the bands rather than grip tape so I do not have to take the time to tape it!
please do not add music , i am trying to listen to what you are saying I dont need a music soundtrack
It’s his video he can do whatever he wants and it’s not even a big deal
Can you explain a bit more on what kind of tape we could use if the original grip doesn’t have it? Btw this helped a lot! ❤
Are you meaning the finishing tape? Or the tape that goes underneath along the handle ? If your talking finishing tape, electrical tape works well. Double sided tape is what you need for putting along the handle.
Nice video ! can i put the overgrip first?
The replacement grip is to be installed to replace the factory grip that comes on the racquet. It is much thicker and more durable than an overgrip. Over grips go "over" the factory/replacement grip only.
You need to slightly stretch the grip when putting on the racket then it won't come loose.
Slightly stretching helps keep it tight. Just make sure not to tear the grip by pulling too hard!
Nice demonstration and advice on regripping tennis rackets. The only thing I do differently is not peel off that much of the non-stick backing as I wrap so that my fingers do not contact the grip adhesive directly. This avoids any oil and dust on my fingers from getting onto the adhesive. It probably does not matter but I’ve got OCD!
It just depends on the grip if I take it all off or just a little at a time. Sometimes the paper backing is not on very well and it just falls as you are putting the grip on. Sometimes the paper is almost stuck on! Either way if you can just peel it as you go that is best! Glad you like the video!
We need more videos like these! If only to encourage more people to change their grips. Some of the peeps I play with have grips that belong in a Biohazard lab!! 😅👾👾
Yes! Can be a little gross!
Good video, great detail.
The "rubber" band as you called it is actually a "grip" band.
Seems to be a band made of “rubber” to hold the “grip”. I’ll call this one a draw! Lol
Great video! Crystal clear explanation. Many thanks :)
You're very welcome!
what can I do to remove the replacement grip if it does not peel off easily, only the outer layer peels off and the glue and the inner layer remain stuck on the racquet and I can not remove it.
You can try a couple different things. Gently take a knife/scissors and cut a line down through the glue and remains of the grip. If the handle is made of a hard foam type material be careful not to cut into the handle. You can also try using a hairdryer and heat up the remains and glue and see if that loosens it up enough to peel off. Lastly you could try goo-gone or mineral spirits or other solvent type chemical and try to rub the glue off. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Wow, super helpful - THANKS!! 👍🏼
Thank you so much i have a game tomorrow and gotta replace mine
Thanks for sharing! Is the rubber band from Tourna or does it come with racquet? Best regards
The rubber band usually comes with the racquet and some replacement grips (not over grips) will include a band as well. If you do not have one you can purchase them from this link as well amzn.to/3ZxObDd Hope this helps!
@@HammerItTennis Thank you very much 🙏😊
@@HammerItTennis BTW Can you use the rubber band instead of finishing tape with an overgrip (so you don't have to use the tape)?
@@stephanpetersen8386 absolutely! That is the point of the band! Much faster on a change over to use the band than to apply grip tape!
@@HammerItTennis Great!! 🙏😊🙏
This video helpt me alot😄
Great to hear!
Piece o cake! Thanks. When do I use an overgrip? What's it for?
Overgrips are used so you don’t have to change the main grip as often. They are thinner and are made to be changed every few times playing or even within a match. Over grips are usually much cheaper and act to absorb sweat and then changed out.
Thanks for the instructions, especially the tip on where to start.
Kevin McLaughlin glad it helps!
@Aleksa Jovanović I always start on the corner! For me the starting tip stays put better and most players seem to like the feeling better. When you start on the flat side it seems to make the grip cup more where you start.
@Aleksa Jovanović you are welcome!
My old grip is melting lol. I guess I can give this a try.
If your grip is falling apart I think it is trying to tell you it's time for a change!
Good video - thank you! What is the purpose of the rubber band?
Good question! The rubber band is for using instead of using grip tape when you are putting an overgrip on top of the replacement grip. You can check out my video about putting on an overgrip and using the rubberband here: ua-cam.com/video/8EsT0wVchVI/v-deo.html
Please,are both of the tennis grips, the replacement and the overgrip adhesive tapes?
Usually replacement grips have adhesive on the back. Overgrips typically do not because they are meant to go on top of your replacement grip and not damage it.
@@HammerItTennis Great, thanks a lot!!!
@@greekveteran2715 no problem!!
Thank you for this tutorial!
That was great - thanks!! 👍🏼
i have a question- is the rubberband necessary? because i think i lost mine a year ago
Not necessary, but is way more convenient than having to retape each time!
@@HammerItTennis thank you!
2:00 Is that a toddler or baby speaking in the background? 😊
It’s hard to find good help 😂
@@HammerItTennis Their camera work is impressive!
Now I realize why I never did it correctly. The secret is the titanium scissors.
António Maria absolutely! 😂 yes that’s the key! Haha. But in all seriousness, these are the best scissors I’ve ever owed. They never seem to get dull and cut about anything.
This grip replacement should work on padel racket?
Should work with all racket sports!
Great video!!! Finally, someone who shows you how to start it properly in detail. 👊
Jae Rob3 thanks!
Incredibly helpful!
Tourna grips made in USA.
Tournagrip has always been my go to overgrip. Unique Sports makes some really good products.
@@HammerItTennis Indeed.
Very well explained 👍🏼
Nice tips, thanks!
Are you using the argentinian flag as a dampener?
It the older version of the Babolat Custom Damp in light blue and white, here's a link to the newer version: amzn.to/2VmpFXm
Thank You !!!!
You are welcome! Glad you like the video!
Easy tutorial, thanks!!
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Thanks, very well explained.
Thanks! Glad you like the video!
Have been replacing grips on tennis and squash racquets for 40 years, and found it better to have the tapered end at the top (not at the bottom), that way you don't need scissors.
When you have the square end on the bottom you get a bump on the bottom of the grip. Both ends being tapered creates the best fit.
Have watched quite a few videos and still cannot determine which way up/down the tapered edge goes!! Or does it not matter?
Alastair Kirkland depends on whether you are right handed or left handed and if you’ve undone the grip completely out of the way it is wrapped up in the package. Assuming you are right handed when you take a grip out of the package you have to wrap it with the rest of the grip on the right side so how ever the tamper is is how it has to be.
😂😂😂😂
Nice!
According to the thumbnail changing your grip also changes your racquet into a new one
That takes a very advanced technique... ;) haha
Taper on the final wrap should be on the lower edge not the top edge.IMHO.
Boneshaker if you cut the bottom side of the grip and not the top, the taper of the grip towards the thick part of the grip gets cut off and it won’t fit as nicely against the previous wrap below it. If you cut straight on the top side you preserve the factory grip edge and cover your cut edge with the tape.
Thanks
You’re welcome! Glad to help!
What is the name of this tennis, i like twisted throat
Hey, I'm not sure I know what you are meaning? Are you asking what brand the grip is?
good
Thanks!
Can i use badminton overgrip for this? I know it sounds dumb but i cant find any replacement grips for my racket
Which racquet are you using? They aren’t specifically for any one particular racquet though.
@@HammerItTennis its a babolat drive z max
@@migo9625 check out tennis warehouses or tennis express www.tennis-warehouse.com/replacegrips.html any of these will work.
@@HammerItTennis thank you so muchh!!
I bought a grip but it doesmt seem to have adhesive. It wont stick, I'm screwed
Autumn H if you can start the grip you should be able to apply enough pressure that it should hold itself in place. If the handle is really slick foam or plastic you might try lightly using a glue stick to give it some tack. Otherwise take your grip back and get one from Wilson, Babolat or Gamma. Most major brands have adhesive on their replacement grips.
Autumn H it’s probably overgrip
Use doublesided tape.
Welp. I still failed i think xD
What seems to be wrong?!?
@@HammerItTennis my 1st time putting one on ever 😳 From down up, I can flick the edges of the tape a little 🤔 might have put it too close idk o.o
@@yengthao8594 sounds like you may have over lapped too much. Just a little bit with constant tension! The more you over lapped, the more you’ll have a loose grip edge.
