Very useful review, thank you! I have wide foot. EE Wide, something between wide and extra wide. So probably each (wide or extra wide) would fit me. What sport shoes would you recommend for such foot? Especially for tennis. Cheers!

Thank uu

How 😮

I use semi-western grip for forehand and the same grip and face for one-handed backhand. The only negative about this is if the ball is low or deep on your bh side, you're pretty much screwed unless you change to continental grip and slice it or play a two-handed backhand...which I also do😂😂

Almagro did this on his return of serve.

How does that help?

I use the same grip for my forehand and backhand but I use semi western grip. Is that good?

Do they have good durability? I got some but im considering returning them because people have been saying they wear out easily. Thanks

I´ve had mine for a month now and they started to tear apart, not a best quality shoes , but comfy!

I´ve had mine for a month now - and I absolutely love them. I´ve had my eye on the Asics Solution FF Speed for a while ( as an upgrade to my Asics Padel Pro 4 - which has been excellent ), but ultimately went for the Lacoste, and I haven´t had a single moment of regret! They are so comfortable, very fast and great support - they felt a tiny bit stiff out of the box, but after 4-6 hours of play, they were totally broken in... feels so soft and snug on my foot , and of furthermore really stylish - I´m probably gonna buy another pair of these, when mine are worn out.... currently no other shoe on the market I´d even consider over these!

Slowing down the video, it looks like the racquet face is open at point of contact. That makes sense, or else the ball would never clear the net from such a low position.

Less talk, more demo, slow motion would be helpful. Comparing to more horizontal racquet face would be interesting and varying point of contact.

Solinco Hyper-G is not a soft poly!

Exactly what I’m using

I don't switch my grip either. Only difference is my FH grip is semi-western.

I do same thing 🎉

Great video, but about colors some people ( Chris from tennis warehouse, and tennis nerd) said that the clear colors it feel live in play, it means give you more poketing more felling about your shot more than the dark colors. me I try yonex polytour pro 1,30 (Yelow color) , and i like it give me more control, good poketing the ball. finaly, is the selinco hyper G have good poketing of the ball, I means the ball stay in the string??

cool, keep it up

Unless you flip your racquet frequently, you'll also contact the ball on the same side of the racquet face leading to premature string breakage.

Coach - I say feet first - move the feet ti get into the position to hit the ball as cleanly as possible - is the ball to my FH or BH side? do I need to move L, R, Up or Back?? always I asked myself these questions - do I want to hit with topspin or slice? deep or short? angled or to baseline? etc

like button does not count either

good tips. videosound is wanky

Western grip Forehand is useless for power, depth, low balls and finishing points. Switching to Eastern

Like Berasateguy.. Same grip both side ( professionnel player)

Dude you must be joking, this is not ancient tennis anymore. Pushing the tennis ball was boring, let it RIP.

wouldnt work for the modern game at the higher levels (probably 4.0 and below?)

I think there are Japanese schools that teach to play every shot with the eastern grip. I actually hit most of my shots with an Eastern-ish grip. My forehand is semi-western.

The question is, why only play with one grip? I mean you have heaps of time when playing groundstrokes to change the grip. Hell Vic Braden even suggested changing grips on the volley.

The best video for anyone who has that grip and doesn't know yet how to use it effectively, struggling with useless worries.

I don't think there is any advantage for anyone who's already on eastern or semi-western forehand/backhand to try to switch back to continental. There are reasons why McEnroe and Edberg were pretty much the only two who had successes with the grip in the open era. And they both are history.

There is no way to use the modern forehand with the continental grip. So you can't play or compete at an advanced level with it. Rec level is fine. So it depends on your ambition. I wouldn't use it.

I heard that Edberg also used one grip - though I have not researched this enough. Recently I decided to start using the continental grip selectively - I have used a grip between Eastern FH and SW but I want to flatten out shots - I want more pace and a lower bounce. As you said, a Cont. grip is made for attacking tennis! the most exciting kind of tennis, in my book.

Hi a video for attack high slow ball into the court. Thank you from italy!

Need a 200mph serve, so yes

Imma have to agree, especially playing in a bubble. So therapeutic

Being able to change grips quickly is an important skill worth learning early on. You will have to change grips between serves, volleys and slices. Also, as you progress, chances are, your forehand or backhand changes (e.g. you might want to hit the ball flatter).

Coach, can you get more pace/pop with Eastern grip over a semi western. I use a semi W grip but would like a little more pop = Pistol Pete Sampras used an Eastern grip. At least some of the time I intend on switching to the Eastern to hit a flatter faster shot.

Ok thought all this time your Eastern grip was my semi western grip

You are the first coach to say Eastern grip is easier and I completely agree. I can use both, however I always find western grip to harder with low balls.

I am using (Continental Grip) for both forehand & backhand and I have no problem.

Great coaching.

lol

Interesting, but does this advice depend on using a continental grip?

classic hat - the Young Fed wore that model hat in 1999 as a teenager in a match against Rafter at French Open. Link: ruclips.net/video/rJn1UZ80faU/видео.html
