Size your paddle grip correctly

A properly sized grip improves control and reduces the risk of elbow and wrist injuries. Too small causes excessive wrist action; too large limits maneuverability.

How to Measure

1. Open your dominant hand face-up with fingers extended
2. Measure from the bottom lateral crease of your palm to the tip of your ring finger
3. This measurement (typically 4–5 inches) is your ideal grip circumference

Standard Sizes

• Small hands (under 6.75"): 4.0" grip
• Medium hands: 4.25" grip
• Large hands (over 7.5"): 4.5" grip

Tips

• Test fit: grip the paddle normally and try sliding your other index finger between your fingertips and the heel of your hand. It should fit snugly
• If between sizes, choose smaller — you can add an overgrip (adds 1/16 to 1/8 inch)
• Use the continental grip (like shaking hands with the paddle) for the most versatile hand position
