Basic Grips to Get the Most out of Your Racket
If you want to get the most out of your tennis racket, you should have a look at its basic grip tape. Without a good quality basic grip, the racket will not lie perfectly in your hand, making your strokes less clean. This can even cause blisters and skin rash on your hands, resulting in a lot less fun on the tennis court.
There is a good reason why tennis rackets are equipped with a basic grip wrapped around the handle because it softens the edges and makes it lie smoother in your hand. Basic tennis grips are comparatively thick, self-adhesive and last a comparatively long time. They ensure your tennis racket feels comfortable in your hand and dampens vibrations.
Basic Grips are Made from Synthetic or Natural Materials
Basic grips are either made of synthetic materials like polyurethane or natural fabrics such as leather. Leather is thinner than its synthetic counterpart, which gives you a more direct feel for the racket and the game. On the other hand, it is heavier than most synthetic fabrics which is why tennis rackets with a basic grip tape made out of leather weigh a little more. You should bear this in mind when making your purchase decision. Leather is also more expensive, but lasts longer, so you won't have to change your racket grip as often.
Over time, these tapes lose their grip because the material wears out, which is why most tennis players - whether professional or amateur - also wrap an overgrip tape around their tennis racket. This protects the basic grip and ensures it retains its supportive properties for longer. Nevertheless, sooner or later there is no way around replacing the basic grip on your racket. It is advisable to do so as many times a year as you play tennis on average per week. This means, if you are on the court twice a week, you should replace the basic grip tape twice a year.
