Tennis racquet grip enlarger, build up handle by one full size, heat shrink sleeve

Heat shrink sleeve to increase the size of your tennis racquet grip by one full size (e.g. grip size 2 (4 1/4") with a sleeve becomes grip size 3 (4 3/8")).

The sleeves have a firm rubbery consistency. Use of a sleeve retains the bevels of the racquet handle. The sleeves will fit adult tennis racquets, grip sizes 0 (4”) to 5 (4 5/8").

The sleeves are approximately 22 cm long and weigh around 17 grams (untrimmed).

Sold as single sleeves or in packs of 5 sleeves.

NB! We do not recommend installing heat shrink sleeves on racquets with removable grip pallets. Please get in touch if in doubt.

Mounting of the heat shrink sleeve requires a heat gun (or powerful hairdryer), and a razor knife for trimming of the sleeve.

International orders: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Installation instructions below (see also picture 2):

1. Remove all grips on racquet and make sure the handle is clean. Cut the heat shrink sleeve to desired length, taking into account 5 mm overhang at the butt cap and a lengthwise shrinkage of around 6-12 mm when installation is complete. Alternatively, the sleeve can be trimmed after installation
2. Slide the sleeve onto the racquet handle. Adjust the sleeve to have an overhang from the butt cap of around 5 mm (red arrow; this will ensure that the sleeve cannot move after installation)
3. Using a heat gun (a powerful hairdryer can be used but this will take much longer), disperse the heat at the end of the sleeve (by the end cap) until the end of the sleeve shrinks to a tight fit. Make sure not to melt the sleeve and ensure overhang of the sleeve is kept (red arrow)
4. Continue to shrink the entire sleeve using the heat gun
5. If necessary, cut excess of the sleeve at the top of the racquet handle with a sharp knife, taking care not to damage the finish of the racquet
6. Regrip racquet handle
