Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the tutorial Howard! What's the black base tape that you're gripping over?

[@howeezy]

The black base tape is the factory grip that the racket actually comes with. Many people remove that and put prewrap underneath instead!

[@MohitChotia-z2f]

@@howeezy For pre-wrap, using insulation tape will be okay, I guess? Over which, you can put Yonex super grap. And is it just the payer's preference for putting a grip over pre-wrap or factory grip? Or are there advantages and disadvantages to it?

[@howeezy]

@@MohitChotia-z2f yes totally personal preference! Some players like to put pre wrap underneath their grip for added spongy feeling. I personally don’t like the black factory grip so I usually remove it but I play towel grip so it’s a little different.

Solid tutorial.

How do you keep the sticker from peeling off?

[@howeezy]

The black sticker?

[@Nick-r9z]

I absolutely cannot regrip it doing what you just did. I get folds and creases. I’m doing it over the bare wood of the handle. Is this where I am going wrong?

[@howeezy]

Bare wood is going to be harder because it has flat/sharp edges vs if you have the factory black grip, it at least is somewhat soft and rounded already

How would I make my grip like yours the same thickness if I took off the original grip?

[@howeezy]

If you took the original factory grip off, I would recommend using some pre-wrap tape underneath first on top of the wood handle too add some thickness before putting on the new grip

[@felixlin9758]

@@howeezy how thick do I make it?

[@howeezy]

@@felixlin9758 I'm not sure exactly how much pre-wrap you would need to make it exactly the same. But prewrap is pretty spongy. I would say try 2 thin layers. You should be able to get an idea of if it is close to the original thickness or not
