(As you can see in the picture, you can choose the grip size.)
Fifth thing is "Grip Size"
To swing a racquet, we have to grab the racquet. That means a grip is the connection between you and a racquet. You have five options, "4 1/8 in.", "4 1/4 in.", "4 3/8 in.", "4 1/2 in.", "4 5/8 in.". Difference between the sizes is just 1/8 inches so many of tennis players(who play is as hobby) don't care about it. However, it is very important things. Because if your Grip Size is too small or big, it is not easy to easily transfer your power to racqeut so that the racqeut can transfer the power to the ball. It occurs lose of power and spin.

So how can I choose? In the picture above, you can see a grip and hands. When you grab a racquet with your playing hand, your index finger of the other hand can be softly placed gap.

You can use rulers to measure your hand size. From the bottom of the lateral crease in palm to end of ring finger. It will be your grip size.
If you choose a grip size which is too big or too small, it costs extra power to just grab the racquet. So it is hard to play as well as you can do.
