Strings are one of the most important parts of a racket because they directly affect how the ball feels, how much control you have and how much power you can generate. Whether you’re playing tennis, badminton, squash or racketball, the type of string, its tension and how it’s strung can make a huge difference in your game. Some strings give you more spin, others give you more power or durability — it all depends on what suits your style. So while the racket frame gets a lot of attention, the strings are really where the action happens.
A bumper strip, or bumper guard, is the plastic piece that runs along the top edge of a racket and it’s there mainly to protect your racket from getting beat up. It’s usually part of the grommet system and helps extend the life of your racket by preventing cracks and scratches. If it gets worn down or cracked, it’s a good idea to replace it, since using the racket without that protection can eventually damage the frame itself. It will also keep your club happy by reducing the scuff marks on the walls!
Grommets are small plastic eyelets on a racket that protect the strings where they pass through the frame. They stop the strings from rubbing against the frame, help spread tension evenly and protect the racket itself. Over time, grommets can wear out and break, so replacing them helps keep your racket in good shape.
The grip of your racket might not seem like a big deal, but it actually makes a huge difference in how you play. When it gets old or worn out, it can feel slippery or uncomfortable, which can mess with your shots and even lead to blisters. Keeping your grip fresh helps you stay in control, feel more confident and enjoy the game without distractions. Plus, a good grip just feels better in your hand — make sure your racket’s ready to play when you are.
The grip size of a racket is basically how thick the handle is, and it can really affect how comfortable and in control you feel when you play. If the grip is too small, you might find yourself holding it too tightly, which can strain your hand or wrist. On the flip side, if it’s too big, it can be hard to move the racket around easily. Everyone’s hands are different, so it’s worth trying a few sizes to see what feels right. The right grip should feel natural and let you play without thinking too much about it.
