If you want a thin grip, I'd recommend getting a racket with a G5 handle - that way you can put on a replacement grip and an overgrip for comfort and convenience, whilst still having a thin grip. For anyone who sweats a lot, I'd suggest a dry overgrip rather than a towel grip, but the main thing is to use wrist bands; so much of the sweat that you think is coming off your hands is actually coming from your arms (or so I found).
@@Vidhuw2024 I'd recommend either the classic blue Tourna Grip or Wilson Advantage Overgrips (which are my preference). You'll need to shop around to find the best price wherever you are. After the grip needs replacing, you can put it on again upside down and reuse the other half (that was previously overlapped).
Good tutorial. I did this too for many years now. I removed the original grip and apply sellotape on the handle wooden surface, it can protect the wood from chipping off when wanna change and removing PU grip with sticky tape at other side. My long time favourite PU is karakal PU, and my favourite overgrip yonex and dunlop.
Sir, we really have the same way of starting the grip. I start with the tapered end on the bottom and end with the wider part on top. I use scissors too. However, I saw other videos who actually use the wider part on the bottom and end with the tapered end on top. But, this way is too hard for me for some reasons. 😁
Tip of the day is ‘shammy’. I use ‘shammy’ rolls used for hockeysticks on the handpiece of the badmintonracket. I use yellowish tan from Dita or Stag or, even better is the purple grip from Stag. The purple one is made from a bit different material than the yellowish tanlike. The purple is more durable. I unwrap my grips of the standard materials, put some thin layers of bandagetape on the wooden handpiece and wind them with the purple grip. It is thinner than an overgrip but you can always use some more material on the wooden handpiece. It is shockabsorbing, durable, non sticky but has more than enough grip due to the soft but also gives enough resistance to not be slippery. You can unwind it without damaging it so it is reusable after cleaning it with some soap and water. For me it is a better material than the standard grip or other grips from Yonex, Babolat etc.
@@itsmuaz749 in reality there are different combination, usually, if you want a thicker grip you should put the overgrip on the normal grip, if you want a thinner grip you should put only the overgrip on the wood, or keep the original one, thats all.
4:43 dont use it directly like that..as said in the video..you will hurt your hand..should place a layer of fibre like coating first..I forget what its called..also for any kind of grip..you should directly place the grip to the wood..your sweat could easily get into the wood and damage it..isntead cover it with something first..I usually use the black electrical insulation tape..only then I will wrap it with the grip..
Nothing wrong with that. What some stores and I started doing : when you buy a. New racquet you can leave the plastic on the handle that covers the wood and grip underneath that's the original. Put an overgrip on this and everytime you pull it off it hardly sticks or rips off the plastic. Whereas if it's been on the original grip for awhile they tend to over time stick together and rip off.
I use El Cheapo orange strapping tape over a layer of Tyvek building moisture-barrier building paper to pad the handle out as I couldn't get a handle wide enough for my big mitt.
Great video. Came here because I realised all these years I've been using overgrip as a "grip" and was wondering if by technicality one needs to put on a normal grip first. I run g5 racquets at a more advanced level of play so I've never felt like I've had issues with long slender hands but started wondering if a grip + overgrip was better for longer fingers due to being a g5. That said going off experience I agreed with your video comments where somehow the thin overgrip only versus a thick grip, when I've tried the thinners I just feel more in my element and like my hand has less blocking it when playing and subtly shifting the racquet handle stances and generating power. Perhaps I was always subconsciously generating more finger power on the smashes as you pointed out...which is interesting! Am using a z force 2 (yonex) so requires a fair bit of force and technique to use properly , not sure if that's why I've found the thinner grips just easier to handle such a stiff racquet quicker? Any thoughts? Should I add a grip underneath an overgrip? I do note one thing I started after seeing some stores do it on my brand new racquet purchases : I've left the plastic handle wrapping on and overgrip on top of that. So I guess by default there's the original racquet grip underneath already if that counts? 😂
Yeah, I have seen people leave the plastic wrapping on. I guess it is their equivalent of putting tape on the handle so the overgrip/sponge etc is easy to remove. Personally I would always remove the factory grip straight away (as it is easier to do before you play with the racket) and add my own grip onto the handle.
My finger got blister from my grip. I put an yonex overgrip on top of the original grip on my racket. What type of grip u can recommend me to use to avoid blister? Is cushion wrap before overgrip a good choice to avoid blister on finger?
Any tips on how to use a finishing tape to secure the shaft side of the overgrip? Everytime i do it it keeps sliding upwards towards the shaft(the tape)
not everyone try to pay attention on the final small black color tape, that material can be pull slightly longer and will be perfectly attach on the cone surface area, you simply hold the tip and then wrap it with pulling forces
But if you pull, after a week, the tape will try to return to its original state causing messy misplace here and there. Unless you lock the tape using Dunlop glue
very helpful but just one thing considering is why dont you adjust to wrap the whole handle instead of cutting the leftover length of the grip? that is a bit wasting
As he said the grip is designed not only for badminton but also tennis racquet which has significantly bigger grip. If you try to use all the grip on badminton racquet, it might give you uneven surface due to too many layer. If you see the video you'll notice that the final result is nice and even with each part has 2 layers of overgrip. If you change the overlap, you'll have 3 layers on some and 2 layers on the other part which is not really nice to hold.
Guys i bought a new racket and told the guy to put a grip on it aswell. He gripped it very tightly and i dont like it. I like my racket with a thicker grip. Now will i have to buy a new grip to or can i remove and use the same grip on it?
Just wondering any racket that you would recommend that’s preferably cheaper than high end rackets for relatively new player trying to get into serious Badminton?
@@ClubRackets but dont get me wrong, i've played badminton for a while, but relatively new to serious badminton. i got the basic fundamentals, but was just an average player that plays for fun. so are these rackets best for amateurs?
This video looks so satisfying when he applys the grip...

Dear channel, the overgrip is to put on te normal grip ;)
That is my favourite combination yes.
so we put it on the normal grip of the racket or we put the overgrip on the PU grip?

Hey could you do a video on grips like towel grips and pu grips on what the pros and cons are? It'd be helpful and also how to maintain a grip
Ok

The cushion wrap will make it softer yes, hopefully that will help. Otherwise maybe try a dry feel overgrip rather than a tacky one.
ClubRackets.com thankss. Can u recommend specific brand that i can use ?
I love ur video cuz is,t soooo satisfiying
Plz also us how to put that yonex high soft grip
It's exactly the same method as the Karakal PU Grip I showed.
I think you're nervous
Your hanf is shaking man
You vedio is very informative and helpful. Really help to put grip on my bat
Thank you so much👍👍😁😁🙏
Thanks, just excited to be doing a video and trying to get it right in an awkward position. Need to get making more videos.
Outstanding keep it up !!!
my favorite pu grips
really good
loved this video.
i do use the ashaway grip tapes
Thanx sir
Where is
4 ways and 4 years ago😎
Well use all grips instead of cutting with razer.
Thought it was entirely a different video (How to grip a racket - for beginners) LOL!!
Nice
Are you a bigginer for putting the grip and sponge
Is it good to put overgrip on original handle??
It can lead to it feeling very hard and cause blisters if you grip too hard but it is a good way of getting a thin handle.
I wanna ask what is your opinion on the duora10 Lt and what tension do you use? Is it okay to put higher than 26?
Any tips on how to use a finishing tape to secure the shaft side of the overgrip? Everytime i do it it keeps sliding upwards towards the shaft(the tape)
That can happen. Don't think I have a solution but I would see if you can wrap your tape a little looser and covering more of the grip.
@@ClubRackets thank you for the speedy reply sir. Will try tht out. Thank you very much for the advice
Which badminton racket do you use
Mostly the Yonex Arc Saber 11.
Is it okay to just put a babypowder cuz i cant affford grip powder.. Support from PH
Sounds like it might work!
This is weird but, does this type of grip have glue on one side? I'm thinking of buying this to use on my mouse for extra grip.
The PU and towel grips do but not the overgrips.
Another helpful video from you
First grip is for left handed person?
Thanks, man. Helped me to understand how to put on a grip. And BTW can you please suggest a good grip that I can buy for my badminton racquet.
Yonex Hi Soft Grip is a good choice.
@@ClubRackets Thank a lot!

Do u feel better if u pull off original grip
use foam cushion first and then put the overgrip
Or you could just wrap your new grip over your old grip
Who AmI cushion wrap is lighter than the original grip

What about the kailite racket in AliExpress which is advertised as 50 grams (10u) and priced 40 dollars how durable are they ?
I don't know. I would think most rackets like that would be very poor quality and break very quickly. Support your local retailer.
Can you suggest me a grip for Voltric z force ii
Just a Yonex Hi Soft Grap would work well.
Which grip is good for sweaty hands.
You could get a towel grip, since they don't get slippery if you sweat.
Guys i bought a new racket and told the guy to put a grip on it aswell. He gripped it very tightly and i dont like it. I like my racket with a thicker grip. Now will i have to buy a new grip to or can i remove and use the same grip on it?

@@ClubRackets rocket

Something like the Yonex Astrox 9, Victor Thruster K30, Kawasaki High Tension 3330. Nice mid range frames.

Thanks for your Video Bro...
Hmmm... just a moment ago I put a PU grip on an over grip. Does it matter?
Probably not but I would suggest the other way round. See how it works out.
Yonex white one is aerocush
Hi you using racket what is name in this vodeo
ck vloge Yonex Duora 10
Is grip powder mandatory for towel grip?
No, you don't have to use it but it can help in extra humid conditions.
Why is he shaking while applying the grip?
Life hack: if you're broke or you for some reason can't find grip, use electrical tape
can u ship it to Pakistan?
Your voice like mr.bean
Well, you should start with the wider, and use the whole tape, not cutting it.
Sir I have Yonex areo soft in my muscle power 23 which one should I use for better smashes
Your hands are vibrating 😂😂😂 but thx sir for teaching 👍
How many ruppee
Suggest me a good badminton racket

Very very very very badddddddd...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🥵🥵🥵
Karakal is not upto the mark as it slips too much by sweat
There is no need of cutting the grip ..start with the bigger side of the grip
Slowly bro, u are rushing guy 😅
Lighter the grip higher the swing weight. That means racket head will feel heavier. This will reduce speed.
Oh bruh thats how u do it lmao i did it my own way 😂
I dunno how to change grips cuz my racquet grip just got torn just now ps i bought it 4 years ago😅
Gooo
Karkal strings didn't lasted even 1week
They wouldn't be my choice.
