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.

EXCELLENT!

Last year, I bought the Black Diamond (November 2023). I switched to the J7K. More power, great touch and control. That's exactly what I was looking for. But I'd love to try this racquet in a 14 mm or lower. Of course, I customize my racquets as I do in tennis. So, it's not as described in the specs. All in all, a great tool!

Great racket

I've only played with it for two weeks now, but I love it.
Spin- For me, it was an upgrade. I feel like it has improved my top spin with the racket's textured surface.
Control- With the large sweet spot, I think I am quicker at the net; at least, I seem to miss hit the ball less.
Power - The only downside is I don't think I hit my overheads quite as hard; however, because of the topspin I can create, my drives and server are harder.
