Li-Ning GP20 Badminton Replacement Grip (Pack of 5)

The Li-Ning GP20 is a polyurethane replacement base grip, supplied as a value pack of 5 at ₹320, which works out to roughly ₹64 per grip. It is the practical pack size for an individual player: enough to regrip your racket several times over a year without overbuying. SportsUncle ships genuine Li-Ning stock.

How to grip a badminton racket (step by step)

If you are here to learn how to grip and wrap a badminton racket, here is the full method using the GP20.

1. Remove the old grip. Peel off the worn base grip down to the bare handle. Clean off any leftover adhesive so the new grip sits flat.
2. Decide your grip hand. For a right-handed player, you wrap anticlockwise as seen from the butt end; reverse for left-handed. This makes the overlap face the right way during play.
3. Start at the bottom. Peel the backing tape and stick the narrow starting end to the bottom edge of the handle, angled slightly upward.
4. Wrap with even overlap. Pull firm, even tension and keep a consistent overlap of a few millimetres on each turn. Less overlap gives a thinner handle, more overlap gives a thicker one.
5. Finish below the shaft. Stop before the grip reaches the shaft, cut at an angle, and secure the end with the finishing tape provided.
6. Check the size. Hold the racket in your normal grip. There should be a small gap between your fingertips and the base of your thumb. If the handle feels too thin, add a thin overgrip on top; too thick, use less overlap next time.

What is the grip of a badminton racket, and why it matters

The grip is the wrap around the racket handle. It does three jobs: it sets the handle thickness to suit your hand, it gives traction so the racket does not slip when your hand sweats, and it absorbs shock from hard hits. A worn, hard, or slippery grip directly costs you control and can cause the racket to twist on off-centre shots. Most regular players replace the base grip every few months, which is why a pack of 5 lasts an individual player a long time.

Why the GP20

• Tacky PU base grip: firm, slightly sticky hold that works well straight out of the wrapper, suited to most players without breaking in
• Genuine Li-Ning quality: holds tackiness longer than cheap unbranded PU grips, so you regrip less often
• Neutral build: at around 0.75mm it slightly increases handle size, ideal as a direct base-grip replacement on most badminton rackets
• Value pack of 5: about ₹64 per grip, far cheaper than buying single grips, without the overcommitment of a bulk pack
• Works on tennis and squash too at the same 1100mm length

Replacement grip vs overgrip: which do you need?

The GP20 is a replacement base grip, applied directly to the bare handle. An overgrip is a thinner wrap applied over an existing base grip for extra tack or thickness. Most players use the GP20 as the base grip and replace it.
