Activity 4: Grip and Stance

Thank you very much for the marvellous site.
Nick, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

The Eastern Forehand Grip:

It puts more of the palm to the side of the racquet. This provides more natural support on the forehand stroke and takes pressure off of wrist strength.

You can impart both slice and topspin with this grip...or you can hit it flatly. Topspin may at times fly deep and out, but essentially this is a solid grip for many players on the forehand side.

Contact point: bit higher and parallel with the front leg.

In a closed stance...a 3/4 stance is acceptable for this grip/stroke combination.
