Frequently Asked Questions

What grip size do I need for big hands?

Most players with large hands use a 4.375 to 4.5 inch grip circumference. You can build a thin grip up with an overgrip, but you cannot make a thick one thinner, so start smaller if unsure.

Not sure which one is right for you?

Our quiz matches you to the best paddle based on your play style, skill level, and preferences across all 812 paddles.
