Size Guide
Choose the right Grip
The grip size refers to the circumference of the handle. The circumference is measured in two units and both are listed on the racket. The first is the European “L” measuring system. The latter is the imperial system, measured in inches.
There are six different grip sizes available for adult tennis rackets. Keep in mind not all rackets are made available in every grip size.
At Rackets & Runners we like to fit our rackets by having the player grip the handle of the racket with an eastern grip (think of holding a hammer or frying pan). From there we are looking to achieve about a finger’s width between the tips of players fingers and the palm of the hand.
If you cannot visit our store or have access to a racket to measure yourself, but have access to a ruler, no need to worry. Open your dominant hand with your fingers pressed together, and measure from the tip of your ring finger to the middle horizontal crease of your palm in inches. This measurement will correspond to your grip size.
If you are between grip sizes, we always recommend going slightly smaller as it is much easier to build up a grip size than it is to decrease one.

Do you like control and spin for every shot, AND power on full swings and finishes? Then see why paddle critics say the Shapeshifter is the sport's best blend of all three and "can do anything!"
This is pickleball's FIRST all-court, 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber triaxial weave in a hybrid shape. The Chorus Shapeshifter could become your favorite paddle!
This elite paddle features modern thermoformed construction, with the cutting-edge, unique 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber surface on a unibody mold with foam-injected edges to maximize the sweet spot. The Shapeshifter will wow with its top tier spin in all directions due to the flexibility of the wide triaxial weave, amaze with its stability and control because of the super strong 18K carbon fiber tows, and more than satisfy with its ample finishing and ground stroke power.
There are three premium quality layers on each side of the polypropylene core to create a unique blend of soft, but poppy touch. The top surface layer is that breakthrough ultra-durable, yet flexible 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber in a stunning triaxial weave shape (Toray brand). It's that stable, yet flexible 18K surface that increases the dwell time the ball spends on the paddle before it exits. The second layer is Toray brand T700 carbon fiber. The third layer touching the polypropylene core is premium fiberglass, acting as the strong backstop to bring power to your full swings and overhead finishes.
What does this all mean?
- Plush touch for dinks, resets and the soft game
- Intuitive ball placement with increased dwell time
- Reduction in unwanted pop ups
- Power to finish when you need it
Also, you get a free paddle cover with your purchase, a $12.99 value!
