Abstract: A grip is formed for a tennis racket handle to facilitate proper gripping of the racket for two handed backhand strokes of the tennis racket by either a left-handed or a right-handed tennis player. The grip includes a body portion having longitudinally aligned first and second protuberance extending therefrom and spaced one from the other by a predetermined distance. A third protuberance also extends from the body portion in radial alignment with the second protuberance and in a direction opposite thereto. An enlarged end section also extends from the body portion. The protuberances and enlarged section are disposed to facilitate either one handed gripping of the racket by either a left-hand or a right-hand player as well as two handed backhand gripping by either a left-hand or a right-hand player. The grip may be molded as a unitary piece substantially in the form of a hollow tube closed at one end and with an opening sized to receive the handle of a tennis racket.
