i really like dhis video of urs 4/4! :)

[TheIrishFan92]

Eastern: usually a second serve grip, more extreme than continental

Continental: usually used on first serve, shaking hands with racket

Semi western: usually used on forehand in between western and continental (Recommended)

Western: not used often very topspinny, very extreme not recommended

If you are overweight and out of shape and still want to win over any opponent, check out my videos!

[9tailjeza]

racquet is spelled racquet not racket

[marlon31070]

RACQUET AND RACKET is just the same just for you to know. If you insist, check the WIKIPEDIA.

[thepaidgamer]

Powerball has helped relieve my tennis elbow and add strength to my wrists and forearms. Visual proof on my channel.

[maximorel]

salle pedale

[charliez83]

umm, that looks more like a semi western to me ... and besides that, the swing path is wrong, regardless what your grips is you never hit the ball with the that open face swing upward ... I don't think he's certified, you never teach or show a swing where you swinging square and at contact have the face open, thats something a beginner would do ...

[alexpietkiewicz]

Let me correct you on that. Its a responsibility for a coach to always show it 100 % correctly... Well, as best as u can.

[prslik]

it's a ksix one 95

[srftache]

so its a (k)six-one team right? but federer has the tour one...

[srftache]

no it's a (k)six-one lite...and federer has (k)six-one tour that have his signature there

[samz0991]

its neither. its a ksix one 95. the lite is white at the top of the racquet where the logo k factor is.

[GamingDisasters]

hey thats federer racquet !

[quillaja]

i learned more from wikipedia

[thephoenix4ever]

Its only beginning tennis tips... Lighten up...

I've never called the topspin grip extreme western before and yea maybe your right he didn't exagerate when it came to showing the grip but about 1:04 is accurate enough since most beginners won't be using topspin in the early stages.

[liampimp12341234]

i have a very odd forehand grip, my coach told me to use a continental grip for my forehand because jimmy connors used a continental for his forehand so i never have to change my grip the whole game.

[killersniper01]

that is kinda odd

[liampimp12341234]

yeah but u get used to it.

[killersniper01]

of course

[samfajardo1992]

there are different kinds of grips??!!! wow in badminton i only use one..whew it's hard to learn tennis!!

[AnIolar]

The back hand grip shown in the clip assumes you are going to hit topspin back hand. It no use for a sliced backhand.

[liambannin]

I grip my raquet with my thumb up the side of the raquet, i dont reccomend doing it, its just comfortable for me.

[vickyivonne]

great!

[arecame9182]

you are good!!!!!

[oxXTJRXxo]

I don't use a certain grip. I just grip whatever's comfortable with me.. I probably unintentionally use the continental grip the most.

[theonlystory]

what happened to semi-western? thats the most common grip now a days.

[seph49]

Quick, Clean, and Simple. I like it.

[yepenga92]

i use western, it sorgasmic!

[ryangasmin22]

best

[themercenary86]

thanks a lot man

[GetDownDayton]

i like the vids, this is cool stuff...

but i don't know about all the grips...

i'm a staff pro myself, and i have a few 5 to 7-year-olds that can hit from the baseline...

at my club, we get them hitting any way they want until they get confident... then we make them use a frying pan grip on the forehand, and continental on every other shot.

it makes them much more coachable later on when they understand the concept of topspin, i feel.

nice vids.

let's play sometime.

[Melyras]

thanks for this vid-i wasn't exactly sure what the grip i was using was called, and this vid helped me to figure it out...(extreme) western

now to work on my one-handed backhand :P

[gonzalopowa]

very good :D

[zackbrooksuperman]

im 2 handed on both sides ha ha ha and im good (played since i was 4)

[maxymyllyon]

whats the point of a two handed forehand? work on your strength and two handed becomes irrelevant

[hypeblast]

ill skool you anyday. IM in LA.

age 4 and your not pro your wack. learn too dominate your rack!!!

lets see if your ready for duel?

[HawtTuna]

I thought the Continental was the one where it was like you were shaking hands.

[dommi44]

actually, the shaking hand one is eastern, isn't it?

[tenniswh0re]

he just said that in the vid lol

[CarefullyRespected]

they all look the same to me.
