Swing-Ready in Seconds:
Quick Guide

Players waste hours guessing where their hand should go, and struggle to keep it in place. Gripsnake gives you tactile reference points every time you pick up the racket, helping build repeatable habits.

Gripsnake works on top of your grip or beneath your favorite overgrip.

It’s easy to use – here’s your step-by-step breakdown.

Pro Tips


You can wrap an overgrip around the Gripsnake - the tactile ridges still work 

Use the Gripsnake frequently, until your body naturally adjusts to the grips

Remember not to squeeze the racket too much; instead, try to keep a relaxed grip

Continue using it at the start of hitting sessions to reinforce muscle memory

Coaches: use it to correct grips without interrupting the rhythm of lessons

If you plan on using the Gripsnake in matches, check first if it's permissible

Adjust the Gripsnake horizontally (clockwise for right-handed players) to use it for a Western forehand grip

Frequently Asked Questions

Gripsnake is an innovative silicone training aid that wraps around your tennis racket handle. It helps you learn or improve hand positioning for all important grips used in modern tennis.

Supported grips include the Semi-Western (SW), Eastern (E), Continental (E), and Eastern Backhand (EB). These can be used for forehands (SW), double-handed backhands (C) and single-handed backhands (EB), serves (C), volleys (C), and touch shots (C). The Western forehand grip is not directly supported given that it’s not suitable for most players. However, you can adjust Gripsnake’s position horizontally to cover even the Western grip.

Gripsnake is for players of all levels and ages who want to:

  • Build consistent grip habits

  • Improve technique and timing

  • Enhance control, power, and spin

  • Train more effectively, solo or with a coach

It’s especially helpful for recreational and club players, juniors, and intermediate players looking to change or switch between grips.

Gripsnake is designed to fit standard junior and adult tennis rackets. It works with most grip shapes and sizes (typically L1–L5). Individual hand sizes differ, and in some cases small adjustments in positioning might be needed.

We got you covered. Gripsnake is available in both right-handed and left-handed versions. In fact, our founders are left-handed.

Your racket will be slightly heavier (app. 0.4 oz / 12 grams). Most players don’t notice the difference. You might even appreciate the added stability and plow through that some added weight can offer.

Gripsnake is made from thin and soft silicone that gives subtle tactile feedback without feeling bulky or uncomfortable.

It does affect your swing in the sense that it improves your swing path and angles, but that’s exactly what you want!

Gripsnake is designed to stay in place during rallying or drills. It’s perfect for training sessions, basket drills, friendly games, and technique work. It can also be used for match play, although you have to make sure that its use is allowed under the applicable rules.

It’s so easy. Just follow our 4-step process:

  1. Attach the two included elastic bands towards the racket throat and bottom of the racket handle.

  2. Wrap Gripsnake around the handle with the snakehead logo on the top bevel.

  3. Position Gripsnake vertically. When you grip your forehand, your pinky should wrap around the handle bottom.

  4. Secure the Gripsnake’s top and bottom edges with the elastic bands.

Done!

Gripsnake is fully reusable. Just unwrap and store it when not in use. Please avoid stretching it excessively.

No problem. Once Gripsnake is installed, you can wrap your favorite overgrip around it, if you prefer. You will still feel the ridges.

Not at all. Gripsnake is gentle on overgrips and replacement grips.

Most players will see and feel immediate results, especially. In particular, after a short adjustment period, you will notice a dramatic increase in power and spin on your forehand.

Everybody is different, but players usually see lasting effects and muscle memory after a just few weeks of use.
