    Thought you guys might be interested in this video of Dato Lee Chong Wei himself wrapping his grip. Thanks to Chengsan Kaki (badminton group in Malaysia) for recording and sharing this video.

    Huh, I always use the glue end on the butt, and then tape the top. LCW relies on his grip staying from friction?

    The butt end is held by friction. The cone end is held by the adhesive on the narrowing end.

    Very instructive video. It taught me that LCW wears a band-aid (plaster) on his wrist all the time because he loves gigantic watches. :rolleyes:

    I'm not doubting that it works (there's a video showing me otherwise), I'm just no good at doing it that way haha

    just like anything it takes practices, you'll get there, if you really want to :) somehow i only find it possible with yonex grips, another other grip, the little adhesive doublesided tape comes off after awhile. but somehow, yonex grips tends to have the best adhesive :/
