Can I Replace the Original Grip on My Badminton Racket with a PU Grip?

Yes, you can replace the original grip on your badminton racket with a PU (polyurethane) grip. PU grips are popular among badminton players because they offer several advantages over traditional rubber or leather grips.

Benefits of PU Grips:

  • Improved grip: PU grips are more tacky than rubber or leather grips, providing a better grip even when your hands are sweaty.

How to Replace the Grip:

  1. Remove the old grip by carefully cutting it off with a sharp knife or razor blade.
  2. Clean the racket handle with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.
  3. Apply a thin layer of double-sided tape to the handle.
  4. Start wrapping the PU grip at the butt of the racket, overlapping the edges slightly.
  5. Continue wrapping the grip towards the top of the racket, making sure it is tight but not too constricting.
  6. Secure the end of the grip with electrical tape or grip glue.
