    Finally someone who explains how the racket should be held and what the angle of your knuckles should be with every grip. Also the zoom in on every grip makes this the best tennis grips video I have seen so far! Thank you!

  • @dimawood007
    @dimawood007 10 лет назад +239

    Impressed with Ian's ability to explain fundamentals as well as esoteric dimensions of tennis (grips, watch the ball, tactics), as well as providing drills. I keep coming back to his instruction.

  • @karsaoblong2630
    @karsaoblong2630 3 года назад +3

    This is probably one of the most important lesson for tennis beginners. This has helped me improve all my shots and understand how even a slightly different grip can change the shot played

  • @wudgeypudger
    @wudgeypudger 10 лет назад +48

    Thank you for including the angle of the knuckles...No one else ever does that. For a "general" explanation this was more informative than the majority of other grip explanation videos on youtube. Along with your myth busted videos, this video contains no pseudo-scientific terms or concepts that just about every other tennis channel falls for.

    • @EssentialTennis
      @EssentialTennis  10 лет назад +3

    @GeorgekwessiDavis 4 года назад +1

    Thanks. This by far the best and simple demonstration of the grips. As am commenting, I searched and fell on this video, with some strange pain at side of my right wrist, and not the joint itself. I switched to balls number 1 for beginners with my son and after sometime the pain developed.

  • @vikkisinger3151

      Switching to a new-grip can be VERY strange at first. It's almost like learning a new-game entirely.
      Good luck at school.

    Thanks man,you really helped me a lot because i am playing tennis for over 7 years now(im 14) and my whole life ive been using the full western just because i got used to it and my coach did not do anything to correct that,now ill try to use the eastern forehand (i would still use western but i always have trouble with the high shots and i cant return them very strong),once again thank you,i really appreciate it :) (hope ypu see this comment)

    I took some clinics with this moron who just kept saying "Put your knuckle here, put your knuckle there, yada yada yada," and I couldn't get it until he literally moved my hand, but your tutorial was GREAT. I LOVE how you used the octagon shape and numbers and described the knuckle to bevel relationship. Very well done and THANK YOU.

    @aaraar4055 8 месяцев назад

    Good helpful video. I'm largely a self taught player when it comes to grips and am delighted to see that I'm mostly doing the right thing, viz semi western forehand and European backhand. Or atleast I'm more or less close to it. Finer points always help.

    Great video! I'm using eastern forehand grip and I just recently noticed that my thumb isn't embracing the handle, it's kind of laying on the bevel 1 parallel to the edge of the racket. Is it a technical flaw that may impact my forehand? I wonder if it's something I should work on.

  • @petercsfrealtor
    @petercsfrealtor 10 лет назад

    Thanks Ian. Just getting back into tennis and learned on a continental grip but am now using an Eastern. Semi Western seems very popular but at my age Eastern seems best. Great video. Very clear. Keep up the good work. P.

    • @11Sparky111
      @11Sparky111 10 лет назад +2

      In short- yes. You simply cannot hit a good backhand with a forehand grip, unless you play with a continental grip.

    question do you only use a continental grip for serving?
    cheers

  • @Ninjaoob
    @Ninjaoob 8 лет назад

    Well when you say you can't really drive with a western grip but seeing that I use a western grip and kinda extreme but not so much I can drive perfectly fine and with that extra topspin is a deadly weapon in my arsenal.

  • @myviews469
    @myviews469 3 года назад

    Ian this good video but I wish you would talk about grip placement because you just moved the grip up and down the handle and I know having the heel hanging and now hanging changes things.

  • @daringdarius5686
    @daringdarius5686 6 лет назад +1

    *TFW your coach tries to teach you grips, and you never paid attention, now years later you realize their importance*
    I only do continental... for serves, power serves, slice serves, everything. The exception is when I cut the ball, which I do eastern/continental because I try to either put as much top spin or skip on the ball as I can, to either drive it into the person or away... Time to practice eastern :/ (my forehands are fine, but I'm going to see the effects of eastern grip in driving my forehands while maintaining my top spin, as my top spin has always been a little lacking in forehand land)

    Do you alter grips for the forehand depending on the situation or stick with the one you’re most comfortable with?

    • @EssentialTennis
      @EssentialTennis  Год назад

      I personally try to stay away from changing grips with my students, Mads. It has to be a really, really extreme way of holding the racquet and/or be leading to some other really serious problem for me to go there. Changing a grip after years of playing is really, really tough.

    Is an eastern backhand grip essentially the same as a western forehand? It looks like where and how you grab the racket is the exact same.

  • @Christfollower48
    @Christfollower48 5 лет назад

    I have a good player, not great, beats me about 60 percent tell me i need hammer grip eastern for backhand, dont like it, I like more angle with knuckles, feels more stable with index on 2, 1 seems extreme as always hit on 2, may try against wall, I do want to work on follow through at end of swing as I have recently had wrist issues, may have let wrist bend backwards as I finish up high, I will swing up slightly and forward slightltly, then across, the windshield wiper immediately with forehand or backhand immediately rolling across seems tough on wrist, 55 years old though, great video!

    • @h4rder10
      @h4rder10 5 лет назад

      hammer grip eastern only wawrinka uses among top players. its bizarre n not recommended in general. this is why u will see stan chips back his returns always. his return is sorely BAD. mainly bcoz with this grip the forehand and backhands are completely different. so he makes a tentative timid return.

      +Matthew Herb ~ good to read about another person's "Switch Up" too. Thanks! I switched tennis over to my left due to my right-shoulder pain from an old martial arts injury.
      I write left-handed and just thought to experiment, not only in tennis but on the basketball court too. Surprisingly shooting with my left felt comfortable!

  • @Wtf-er7du

    Great Grip explanation Ian. I always send the link to this Vid to my students who are trying to learn the various grips. Send me the Invoice at the end of the month :D I give students 'Homework' of sitting on the couch watching TV and be able to cycle through the various grips with thier racquet by feel rather than looking at the handle. Any other ideas about drills/training to get a student familiar with the grips and especially changing between grips automatically to suit the incoming ball?
