Yep, agreed. Best to keep the Conti on both and forgo the perceived benefits of extra-kick. Didn’t Edberg use an eastern on both 1st and 2nd? But then again, that was then, this is now.
Im a one hander with an eastern back hand grip and I feel more comfortable using that grip for serving. I go continental for flat serve of course but it feels weird for me.
I like to use my volley grip on my serve, e.g. continental. When I serve and volley, I don't want to have to worry about a gip change between the two on the way to the net.
@@TomAllsopp imagine you use a continental grip and a flat serve motion, now at contact , you turn the grip so the racket face pointing to the left and thus becomes a slice serve. Next you use that grip and a flat serve motion will give you a slice serve.
I like the idea of exaggerating strokes when learning but for serves I like it simple and would rather keep continental for whichever type of serve I'm hitting.

I agree. It’s harder to pronate and more uncomfortable for the wrist with eastern backhand grip.
Great explanation on the grip choice
thanks Tom. yeah the eastern backhand grip ruined my kick serve. Kept me from pronating and engaged my wrist too much
Rafter actually teaches to use different grips but same serve motion to creat different spins.
That doesn’t seem to make much sense, because spin serves require different body positions, regardless of grips.
