<p>Some people are putting customized rounder Wilson handles on Head racquets. Of course, it takes work to do that.</p>

<p>Im think it's the grip size...:</p>

<p>1/8 = 1</p>
<p>2/8 (1/4) = 2,</p>
<p>3/8 = 3</p>
<p>4/8 (1/2) = 4</p>
<p>5/8 = 5</p>

<p>Michael is definitely right. Leaving the pinky off or reducing the tension of the pinky and the adjacent finger does produce greater whip. I have one community college student who holds the racquet with only three fingers. He has a tremendous serve.</p>

yep I have former tour pro mates who will only use one brand of racquet because they dont like some grip shapes. For example Prince is much rounder than Head

I don't think I have ever seen oval grips.....they have been only round the ones I have used....btw most racquets have ridges (sides).... Do you or anyone you know do away with it and just make it smooth...do away with it...

Also note that there are different grips as well. from Round to oval. I have been using a 4 grip for my entire tennis career. With the K-factor tour- 90's I use the grip feels smaller than the the ncode and more rounded like a prince racquet & the new blacks are more oval like the ncode, with my new Wilson sponsorship I will switch to the 3 grip because the 4 feel bigger.
