Racquet replacement grip

  1. Remove any existing grips from the handle
  2. Unwind your new Raquex grip to find the tapered end with "Start" marked on it
  3. Peel back roughly 6 inches of the sticky tape protective paper
  4. Place the tapered end of the grip on the base of your racquet's handle
  5. Wind the grip tightly around your handle in a anti-clockwise direction, peeling back the protective paper as you go along
  6. Keep the spacing even. We recommend using the Raquex logo as a guide to how spaced your grip should be*
  7. There's plenty of length with our grips. If you have any excess at the top of the handle, simply use some sharp scissors to make an angled cut to remove the excess
  8. Use the included Raquex finishing tape to create a seal around the top edge of the grip
  9. Get on court and enjoy your game!

*Keep each wind just above the logo as seen in the diagram. Wind the grip tighter if you prefer a slightly chunkier feel.
