- How you hold the racquet controls a big part of how you play and learn. In today's tennis 101 I give you a simple guide to the benefits and downsides of different ways to hold the racquet. HAVE FUN😁
I am not a tennis coach but i'm agree: if you're a beginner, start using an eastern forehand (continental and eastern in two handed backhand). Then you move to a semi-western if necessary. For me this is the best way.
Love this Tennis 101 series, Will! Keep em coming! 🔥
I'm enjoying it
I have a one-handed backhand and have noticed that my forehand grip and backhand grip are basically the same. The edge of the frame that was facing the sky on the forehand is now facing the ground on the backhand. Another way of looking at it is bevel 4 becomes bevel 8 when you flip the handle 180 degrees. I guess I'm semi-western on the forehand and semi-western on the backhand. Is that right or am I crazy? Why doesn't anyone ever talk about how you can use the same grip for forehand and backhand and it's not continental?
Hi coach Will, I find that using a Eastern/semi-western FH grip. I get grip Handle slippages as I make contact with the ball with upper swing angles while maintaining a relaxed loosed grip. Is that an indication that my grip is too loose? I have also a tough time maintaining the correct racquet face angle, the ball either goes too long (not dropping with topspin) or it goes into the net. Any suggestions to help maintaining the correct racquet face angle.
thanks for video.
In addition to position of index knuckle of your dominant hand, is there something that you would like to elaborate when it comes adjusting the angle of the dominant hand wrist?
In my understanding having the wrist of dominant hand for FH and non-dominant hand for 2BH makes big difference when it comes to stability of the racquet during the ball contact and therefore on shot power.
What is the best way of banding (breaking) the wrist for each shot FH and 2BH
thanks
I've tried every forehand grip. Started with semi-western, full western and now extreme Eastern. I think what grip you choose depends on your competition. I play with just about all types: slicers, flat hitters, and top spinners. With the Western, it's extremely hard to get to low slices. This is also a problem though at a lesser extent with the semi-Western. The extreme Eastern is much better though a full Eastern is probably the best. When I used the western grips, it was also difficult to hit flat though not impossible. You have get your elbow real high.
Tennis is probably the best example of an open ended sport for that exact reason. It will always be subjective to your preferences
hi, do pro player, switch to grip to other one when they play ? or they just use one grip for forehand ? i m Eastern, but yeah grip 4 or 5 give " easy " spin. than with Eastern is more technic for have the same result.
4-5 give a lot of security, i think Eastern need be a " athlete " its take a lot of energy for the spin
Pro players may make a very minute change to their grip when they're playing. But for the most part, they'll use the same grip the whole time unless they're switching to continental for slices or blocks
