How to put a leather grip on a tennis racket. How does a leather grip effect the swingweight? 

Great experiment for tennis nerds! Swing weight is a mother of all specs 🙏

This is how to put on a leather grip video, good job.

Great video!

good way to add weight to a typical head heavy & lighter weight racquet to balance it out

Weight considerations aside, I played decades where leather grips were the only viable grip option (maybe excluding cheesecloth). This included high end grips like Fairway. I find the artificial grips to be so much better in feel and performance. I tried a leather grip a few years back (Fairway) and found it disappointing after a few sets.

I use almost to all my rackets

Leather is classy plain and simple

Hi, good video man. Could yo do Adding weight to the handle next?

It is amazing that SW is the same. But since it will be more stable from the base line and heavier on the serve what does the SW mean?...

1:25 The TW private label leather grip comes in 1.5 and 1.3 mm thickness. The Head Hydrosorb Pro is just under 1.8 mm. => Both options will reduce your grip size by about half a size to one full size.

Which grip would you suggest to increase the grip size by one

Man, leather and polys on a medium stiff frame is really a vibration galore...

Just curious, how much lead would you need to add to the hoop in order, to retain the original balance after adding the leather grip? Obviously, this would vary depending on where you add the weight -- 12 o'clock, 3 & 9, etc... Thanks!

This recommended For badminton rackets?

Literally about to do the same thing to my vcore pro 97L. Was seeing if I could make small mods on the 97L to play but looks like I will end up with the 310 specs after this. There's a lot of debate on whether a leather grip and overgrip would add swingweight. Some said zero and some said 1-2 pts increase. This confirms it all.

What thickness and weight is your leather grip? And what brand?

Did you get an underspec ET? You mentioned having lead on the sides at 3 and 9. Just surprised that the SW is only 317.

Nice videos, I have a head leather grip, do you think it will streach like that?, Doasn t seem streachy.

Can i use leather grip on top of overgrip? Thanks

Do you play with an overgrip? And dampener ? The overgrip can add 6 grams and the dampener maybe 2 grams

You can't play with just a leather grip though! As soon as your hand gets at all sweaty the grip will be slippy! pros that use a leather grip tend to put a thin over grip over it.

That wasn't what I was expecting. I thought the swing weight would have gone down. Then what is the effect on the feel of the racket on the swing? Does it feel faster through the air? Does it feel more stable upon collision with the ball?

Just cut the measurements not removing and putting on the grips.

Leather grips make every racket better.
