How to Play Tennis : How to Hold a Tennis Racquet With a Continental Grip

[COD6ISBEST1]

you can hold a racket like you want what suit you

NO WAY. the continental grip is not good for forehand groundstrokes at all. I have 2 grips when i play tennis. 1) My forehand topspin shots= semi western 2) Everything else= continental

@tatripp did you forget your eastern backhand? 

[tatripp]

@LeafVillItachi My dominant hand (which is my right hand) is actually continental on my backhand. I think i am actually naturally a lefty, but my parents made me write and do everything with my right hand when i was very little. I get all my power on my backhand by my left hand. My right hand is just on for the ride. I also like this because i can hit my backhand slice shots without switching my grip which is especially useful when i have to chase down a ball.

thx i was confused

i used to serve holding it right on the 2nd bevel instead of 2nd/3rd (as in the left of the 2nd blvl, wen u hold it - its almost like u cant even turn the racket wen its like that)

Not really - the continental grip is a universal grip that can be used for forehands and backhands - usually for slice strokes and volleys as this grip is the easiest to use when you are striking the ball from high to low

Semi western is the best grip for a forehand.

WRONG i have played tennis for 4 years and i will teach how to play i just won the ota tourniment i never got lessons but ill teach u how to play for FREE with a video

ok this really explain exactly where to out your hand, whenever someone explains where to put tmy hand, they only say "put it here" this is much better and specific!!! time to test if it works for my serve now.(i have a sucky serve)

I've pefected all these continental, western & estern grips..but I could'n able to hit the ball with my racket..I dunno why..

[JediGuardianMaster]

greaat. just this week i decided to lay down my eastern grip and change it to continental. that brightens up my day because with the video that was shared, i now have confidence that the grip i am currently using is continental. haha!

[ahmadshams10]

these vids are so helpful. I knew alot of these vids i just used them to learn how to hit a kick serve/topspin serve

[crocozoco]
