It is and extreme grip! Because he almost has a continental grip and in order to hit the ball right and with spin he has to twist his wrist counter-clockwise just before the moment of impact. Yes nadal has an extreme grip also close to continental but he is twisting his wrist clockwise just before the impact so...they are kind of opposite in forehand wise. But most players hit the ball with western grip(if the racket was a hammer, the racket face would hit the nail.
You're messing it up, continental is the hammer grip used for serves, volleys and overheads. Western is what Nadal uses on the forehand, gasquet hits a semi-western forehand.
gasquet holds like a continental grip and hits a topspin forehand WITHOUT hitting western. this is just weird and phenomenal if you ask me, this also enables him to hit forehands and backhands without switching grips. such style and grace gasquet has the talent to be world #1
he's using a semi western grip.. he just doesn't turn back his wrist.. that's why his follow through looks exactly like others and his beginning looks funny
his forehand is sooo weird looking, backhand of a god though

This comment has received too many negative votes show
his forehand sux, too much wrist movement, he should run around his forehand to hit backhands as he has the best onehander in the game

It's gotta be difficult to hit inside-out with that forehand.
