- Measure from the tip of your ring finger to the bottom crease of your palm (the second crease from the bottom).
- Add 1/8 inch (about 3mm) to that measurement to get your recommended grip size.

If you’re between two grip sizes, always go for the smaller one and add an overgrip. It’s much easier to build up thickness than to reduce it. Replace your overgrip every 5–10 hours of play or whenever it feels slippery.Disclaimer
