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.

Anyone can make a power paddle, but it takes the right touch to make it usable. This is a paddle for power, but clean power. It does what you want it to do, consistently with every hit. It’s balanced and fast in your hand, or both hands if you’re doing a two-hander with the elongated handle.
It can be soft when you need it to be, but when you punch it, you’ll hear that satisfying pop and watch it crush. Thermoformed for hard hits, foam-injected edge to hold strong and open up that sweet spot, and carefully heat sealed along the edges to cook it all together for good.
And with a premium T700 carbon fiber face, it will have opponents stumbling in all directions with spin.
It’s a clean paddle, but if you want to dirty up your game with some lead tape, go nuts. It’s the ideal thermoformed canvas for customizing a paddle to just how you like it.
Available in 16mm for a bit more softness and 14mm to all out let it fly.
