The first thing you’ll want to do is turn your racket on its side and grab the handle so your pointer finger knuckle is lined up with the top-right bevel. It should feel like you are giving your racket a handshake.
The main rule with grip size is that you want a handle big enough so that there is some space between the tips of your fingers and your hand (like the image on the left). If your fingers go all the way around the handle and run back into your hand (like the image on the right), you need a larger grip size.

Before you can select the best tennis racket for your level of play, it’s important to understand two elements of racket construction: head size and weight.
Players first learning the game of tennis should start with a light racket featuring a larger head size, often called an “oversize” racket. This will help them make contact with the ball consistently while learning to rally without wearing out their arm as their muscles get used to the game.
When choosing a tennis racket for a beginner, here are a few things to look for:
Intermediate players can start to reduce their head size and add a little more weight to their racket as their tennis muscles develop and they learn to generate more pace on their own. Doing these two things will allow them to keep their new-found power under control.
When selecting a racket for intermediate tennis players, keep the following in mind:
Advanced players should be using “mid-size” rackets that allow them to play with control, feel and precision. These three benefits will provide a more connected-to-the-ball feel, allowing players to play more confidently as they go for their shots.
When selecting a racket for advanced tennis players, keep the following in mind:
This all depends on you.
Tacky overgrips provide a cushiony, tacky feel. The tack will keep that racquet or paddle firmly in your hand without slipping. For players that don't sweat too much or don't generally have sweaty hands, the tacky grip may be right for you.

Dry overgrips are generally not as cushiony as the tacky overgrips. They provide a smooth, soft feel. For the player that sweats more or has sweaty hands, the dry overgrip may be right for you.
