How to Wrap a Badminton Racket with Towel Grip
How to Wrap a Badminton Racket with Towel Grip
If you have sweaty hands and struggle with slippery racket grips, towel grips might be the game-changer you need! In this guide, we’ll show you how to apply the Yonex 402EX towel grip and enhance your playing experience.
What is a Towel Grip?
Unlike standard polyurethane (PU) grips, towel grips are made from cotton, making them highly absorbent—perfect for players with sweaty hands. While they provide excellent moisture control, they do have some downsides:
Less cushioning compared to PU grips.
Not as tacky, especially when damp with sweat.
Luckily, there are simple solutions to these drawbacks!
Step 1: Remove the original grip (recommended, as towel grips are thick).
Step 2: Peel off the adhesive backing from the pointed end of the towel grip.
Step 3: Align the edge slightly off the cap of the racket handle to prevent overlapping.
Step 4: Wrap the grip evenly around the handle, ensuring smooth alignment.
Step 5: Once you reach the end, use scissors to cut the grip at an angle.
Step 6: Secure the grip by pressing and twisting it firmly into place.
Step 7: (Optional) Use the finishing tape provided or substitute it with athletic sports tape for better durability.
Final Touch: Using Grip Powder
After applying the towel grip, spread grip powder evenly for added moisture absorption and better control. Simply sprinkle the powder over the grip, twist it to ensure full coverage, and you're ready to play!
Why Choose a Towel Grip?
Perfect for players who experience excessive sweating.
