One of the most overlooked benefits of HEAD Tennis Racquets is that you can change the grip size of the racquet you own. As a tennis pro shop owner, I see many customers agonise over slecting the right grip size. It is so difficult when you are in store and the racquet handle has a plastic sleeve over it. Customers don’t really know what the grip will feel like when the plastic comes off and they add an overgrip.
With Head racquets, you can actually change the grip size of the racquet. All Head racquets are made the same and the the grip size is determined by attaching what is known as a “pallet”. The pallets are different thicknesses and they determine the grip size ie L2 (4 1/4) or L3 (4 3/8) etc. If you are unhappy with the grip size of your Head racquet, you can take it back to your racquet specialist and ask them to change the pallet to a size you prefer.
Please note that the pallet changing process has become a little harder now that Head racquets are made in China rather than Austria as the glue they use makes it much harder to remove the old pallet. Also your racquet specialist may charge a fee for this service.
At Tennis Gear we regularly change pallets to make sure our customers get the racquet grip size they need. Remember Tennis Gear Online have a fantastic bag giveaway with the purchase of every Head YouTek Racquet.
The following video gives you some information on how to change a Head Racquet pallet.
