Comments: This product worked like a champ. First, I tried using the hair dryer but that took forever, so I used the oven method on both of my racquets.

Comments: On the advice from TW I used a shrink wrap on my Babolat PD to increase the grip from 4 3/8 to 4 1/2. I used a heat gun/paint stripper to heat the wrap and it worked perfectly! It just took a couple of minutes and it tightened right up. I put the grip and new overgrip on and feels great! Very easy...thanks TW!

Comments: Amazing product, this is exactly what I've been needed for a long time. I've been putting 3 piece of overgrips on the handle of my racket since 1.5 year ago. It's a nice goodbye to my weird circled handle (due to 3 piece of overgrips). While putting on this wrap thing, I also put on the TWH leather replacement grip at the same time. Both a very nice products. Now, I can change grip way more accurately, which improved my backhand a lot.

Comments: Warm up the broiler (top) element in your oven. Put the sleeve over the grip so that it goes past the buttcap by about 1/4 inch. Slowly start feeding your handle into the oven, about 3 inches from the heating element, rotating it as you go. You'll see the sleeve start shrinking down. Once you've reached the top of the sleeve, remove your racquet and let it cool. The entire shrinking process should take about 30 seconds. Trim the excess carefully and you're finished. These sleeves weight about 16-17 grams after trimming. Thanks for the great tip! While this technique will work, we strongly recommend using a hair dryer when applying a heat shrink sleeve.

Comments: Easy to install, basic hair dryer will work. It will raise the size (obviously) but NOT the whole 1 step increase. Don't use two to try to increase 2 steps, otherwise the edges will round off. Be very careful cutting off the excess, or you will scratch your racquet.

Comments: Worked fantastically, bought a KPS88 on sale with a 4 1/4 handle and built it up to 4 3/8 using the broiler method with no issues whatsoever. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Comments: Works great just got mine. Took about less then a minute. Kept same shape as handle. BTW I also used the broiler on the oven.
From: Dave, Los Angeles, CA. 3/09

Comments: These things are just plain great! I used three of them on one racket to bring a 4 1/2 to 4 7/8 and it did keep the handle's proper shape pretty well. I just held the handle over the heating element on my oven while turning the racket and it took less than a minute.

Comments: Works perfectly. But you must have a very hot heat gun. I used a hair dryer and it took an hour for the sleeve to shrink. So if you have a hot heat gun this is the prefect way to build up a grip size.

Comments: Works great! I used the broiler method as well. Make sure to eave a little room at the top of the grip as the tube shrinks in length as well.
From: Ross, Indianapolis, IN. 4/08

Comments: I have used these for years. Simply slip it over the handle and heat -- I use a heat gun on the low setting. Just rotate the racquet in one hand and wave the gun slowly around the handle from butt upward about 2-3 inches away. It takes no more than two minutes. Let it cool for another couple of minutes and put on the grip.

Comments: Excellent. Make sure your grip is legit and use these. I used a hair dryer, and it took for ever, but if you do it right and regrip over it right, it's perfect.
From: Colin, Seattle, WA. 12/07

Comments: I was skeptical at first, but once I tried it this is amazing. It feels just like a grip size bigger. I even did a blind fold test and I couldn't tell the difference between my naturally bigger grip and the one I built up with a sleeve. The oven broiler works perfect for heating it up. It takes about 15 seconds to shrink it if you rotate it around under the broiler. I recommend it to anyone needing a grip size larger.
