Hi,
Does anyone else suffer from getting small cuts on their fingers from playing squash?? I think the problem is made worse by swimming afterwards then the skin drying out. I put a lovely new white overgrip on the other day and it's a bit of a mess now.

Any tips for stopping this happening would be most welcome!

Hi douglas -that is a bit unusual. Blisters and callusus but not cuts I have had before. A few questions:

Is the grip rough?
Are you holding the grip really close to the end of the racket handle?
Is there a staple in the grip if it is leather?
If your hands and fingers are dry and cracking you need to get some sorbolene or moistureiser on them at night time to soften them up.
A few people do play in a golfing glove if that would be of any use to try.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks. Must just be me then! It's costing me a fortune taping up my fingers before matches....
