Hi Jessiehew,

It sounds like you're exploring some innovative ideas with your table tennis equipment! If I understand correctly, you're considering using a tennis racket grip wrap on your table tennis racket handle. Tennis racket wraps are typically thicker and cushioned, designed to absorb more shock and provide comfort during the high-impact play of tennis. Table tennis rackets usually have much thinner grips to allow for better feel and control, which are crucial in a sport that relies heavily on precision and subtle wrist movements.

However, experimenting with different materials can sometimes lead to personal breakthroughs in comfort and playability. If you feel the tennis racket wrap might improve your grip or comfort, it could be worth a try, especially if you find the standard table tennis grips too thin or hard on your hands. Just be mindful that altering the grip can change the balance and weight distribution of your racket, potentially affecting your play.

If you decide to go ahead with it, I'd recommend doing so during a period where you can afford some trial and error without affecting competitive play. Let us know how it goes if you decide to give it a try.
