End-Cap Enlargement (Bulbous) 


For some of us, the stock/manufacturers end-cap is not to our liking. This could be for a number of reasons such as:
Uncomfortable, causes blisters/hard skin, racquet has a tendency to slip or twist. 

For me, the benefit of an enlarged end-cap, is having a little more at the end, to allow for more 'whip' without holding the racquet too tight.
