What grip do you play with on your strokes?

[@jasoncowell5133]

I play continental in all my grips. I am an Irishman living in India and played a lot as a kid. My attacking style still holds up against twenty somethings advanced players. As a fifty year old the range of shots and disguise is what keeps them unsettled. It does mean standing in the baseline and be willing to take some risks amd yiu have to have good timing amd be able to read the game well.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Do you hit slice on groundstrokes a lot or more flat with continental?

[@patrickweston3293]

"Fade serve?" I used to get that kind of inside-out spin on my serve when I was just starting out, and used a forehand grip. Now I serve continental and am pretty good at generating kick and slice, but sometimes wish I still had that old screwball in my repertoire for a change of pace. Do any good players actually do this?

[@transklutz]

I like to use SW fh / 1hb, but it tends to slip to western f/eastern bh while I'm playing.

[@transklutz]

Semi western serve is either extreme kick/slice or reverse spin windshield wiper serve.

[@AussiePillow1]

Some wheelchair tennis players have their racquet taped to their hand so they cannot change grips. they use semi western and do one handed backhands and serves with the semi western grip.

[@PeteInTheMatrix]

Eastern backhand would have been a western forehand and useful for topspin kicker.

[@kennotsee]

Would that constitute being a bit of a cheat since you would be using the same face/side of the racket to hit both shots? In reality, it the difference between bevel #1 and #5. Sounds like a technicality to me :)

[@SangAcquiescentFroid]

I would probably choose Western, that way I can have a one-handed backhand and forehand. For serves I would probably just try feeding it. Volleys are kind of out of the question though, unless I just held the racquet straight out in front of me like the contact point of a one-handed backhand

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Yeah it’s a tough one, yeah western you don’t have to change much between ground strokes but serves and volleys become a nightmare!! Continental old school is the way to go haha

[@transklutz]

Western is perfect for serve i.e. Raonic

[@SangAcquiescentFroid]

​@@transklutz I'm not sure...I've been trying to look at his grip. See this video at 3:22 and 3:50: ua-cam.com/video/-PnwcQSctoA/v-deo.html . Still looks more continental than Western, it's just that his hand is large and he might be keeping his knuckle on the edge where the two bevels meet rather than on the continental bevel itself.

[@transklutz]

@@SangAcquiescentFroid I guess I wasn't clear. Western forehand is eastern grip for serve. Raonic has always been spoken about as having an extreme service grip.

[@transklutz]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial each grip has it's own motion, so you would have to learn a new body attitude, motion and positioning for the new grip. You probably couldn't get it right out of the starting gates.

[@alexlackner1945]

I could play everything using Continental Grip but i think the backhand would be a (bad) slice mostly

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It’s just so versatile, that’s why it’s a good idea to teach it when players first start out!

[@luyin1961]

Why not extreme western on forehand? at least the backhand becomes somewhat playable.

[@transklutz]

That would continental played in reverse, Hawaiian grip.

[@jgatchaljgatchal8350]

I always thought John McEnroe just used one grip.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Certainly looks like it!

[@masha1980]

Awful weather for tennis.

Any weather is perfect tennis weather for the tennis addicts like us 🙌
