When you buy a new racquet, whatever the quality of the frame and the strings, a grip is often added as an afterthought. To get a good quality badminton grip you often have to buy a separate one when you pick up a new racquet. Try out the badminton racket grip you have first before buying – if it irritates the skin of your palms, or you can’t maintain a good hold of the racquet you should consider buying a new grip.
Players with large hands often prefer to buy an overgrip. This is a badminton grip you can layer over the existing grip to make the grip a little bit larger and easier to handle.
