    Often we hear about the advantages of using rackets with smaller grip sizes, especially in generating power with G5 and G6.
    What about those with bigger grip sizes? Time to dish out some justice for them!

    In my experience, a slightly larger grip size allows you to hold it with a lighter, more relaxed grip. This leads to better directional control, less fatigue and lower chance of injury.

    I feel bigger grips make the racket feel lighter and more maneuverable like what dave is suggesting but personally I like thin grips for the feel of the racket
