The correct grip of a padel racket is essential to ensure a good grip and optimal control of the game. If the grip is not correct,
you may find yourself struggling with your racket during your shots, which can affect your performance. Here is a detailed guide on how to hold a padel racket correctly.
Choose your grip size
The first thing to do is to choose the right grip size for you. Most padel rackets have a standard grip size,
but some companies also offer larger or smaller grips. The right size should allow your fingers to wrap comfortably around the grip, without too much pressure.
Place your fingers correctly
Once you have chosen your grip size, it is important to position your fingers correctly. Most people use
three or four fingers to hold the racket. With the racket upright, place your fingers around the grip so that they are slightly
folded and close to each other.
Wrap your fingers around the grip
With your fingers positioned correctly, wrap them around the handle. Your finger positions should be firm and secure, but also flexible.
so you can change your grip while playing.
Tighten your grip
Once your fingers are wrapped around the handle, tighten your grip until it feels comfortable and secure. Your grip should be firm,
but not too tight, so you can easily change your grip while playing.
Experiment with different grips
Finally, experiment with different grips to see which one works best for you. For example, some people prefer a narrower grip for
more control, while others prefer a wider grip for more power. Experiment with different grips and find what works for you!
