How To Grip (or Re-Grip) Your Badminton Racket

• The original grip has worn out
• They have a preference for certain type of grip

1. Your racket
2. A new grip
3. Scissors (usually!)

1. Open the grip
2. Peel the plastic tab at the end of the grip to reveal the adhesive layer
3. Peel the plastic film off of the grip
4. Stick the end of the grip onto the end of the racket handle
5. Pull the grip firmly while turning the racket to complete the first throw. Make sure that bottom of the grip aligns with the bottom of the handle. The first turn is usually the hardest and can make or break the aesthetics of the grip so make sure you take a lot of care with this step, or you’ll end up with an ugly grip!
6. Work your way up the handle, trying to maintain an even amount of overlap between each layer. So if you want a thicker grip, you will need to overlap the grip more in each layer, and vice versa if you want a thinner grip
7. When you have reached the top of the handle, this is where scissors are important you’re going to need to trim the grip back - unless of course, you want the grip halfway up the shaft OR you’ve gripped your racket with so little distance between the layers…
8. Cut the grip in a diagonal direction so that it will be flush when you put the grip tape on. 
9. Wrap the grip tape on to secure the grip
10. And you're done!
