What are the advantages of the eastern and western styles of tennis, and the western style of tennis

Eastern. One of the traditional grip methods in tennis. The continental grip used to be popular in lawn tennis tournaments on the European continent, especially in France.

Now it is mostly used for net volleys and sidespin balls. The main point of the continental grip method is that the "V" shaped tiger mouth formed by the thumb and index finger is placed on the boundary line between the upper plane of the handle and the upper left inclined plane, and the root of the palm is attached to the upper plane and aligned with the bottom plane of the racket.

The index finger is slightly separated from the other three fingers, and the lower joint of the index finger is pressed against the upper right bevel. Since the continental grip method does not need to rotate the racket when hitting the ball with the forehand and backhand, it is more convenient to use when volleying at the net, or when it is too late to judge whether to hit the ball with the forehand or backhand. In fact, many of the world's best players who are accustomed to hitting the ball with the Oriental grip often consciously or unconsciously use the continental grip method in the game.

Western. One of the traditional grip methods of tennis, the Western-style grip was popular in the western California region of the United States in the past, hence the name Western-style. Because it is too complicated, it is adopted by a small number of professional athletes.

The main points are: the thumb and index finger are almost at right angles, the thumb is straight and pressed against the upper plane of the racket, the lower joint of the index finger holds the upper right plane, and the root of the palm is attached to the lower right bevel, which is aligned with the bottom plane of the racket. The Western-style backhand grip is based on the forehand grip method, the wrist is rotated in the direction of the needle, the thumb is stretched out and pressed against the left vertical plane of the racket, the lower joint of the index finger is pressed against the upper plane, and the palm of the hand is attached to the upper inclined plane, which is aligned with the bottom plane of the racket.

To put it simply, it is to turn the upper and lower planes of the racket handle upside down, and hit the ball with the forehand and backhand on the same racket.

Generally, Western-style shooting power is strong. The Eastern style is more flexible. It's best to find the grip that feels best and most comfortable for you in practice.

= A group of people are talking nonsense Simply put, the current trend is to play semi-Western, and the Eastern style is no longer the mainstream, but it is suitable for beginners, and my personal opinion is to learn semi-Western, and it is very difficult to change it to a certain extent.

Forehand balls: The West is easy to handle high balls, the East is suitable for lifting, the mainland is suitable for power, and the Half West is relatively balanced.

Nowadays, the mainstream uses semi-western, like Federer, and he clearly said that he uses the grip "semi-western".

The western style is from the tiger's mouth to the handle of the racket, which is suitable for power players, but it will be difficult to grasp the direction.

Nadal is a typical Western-style grip, so his forehand is very threatening) The Eastern-style is to turn the hand 45 degrees to the right on the basis of the Western-style, which is easier to grasp the direction, but it is not powerful Most beginners still advocate using the Eastern-style

Of course, it still depends on your own level of adaptation.

Nowadays, most professional players use the Western grip or the continental grip (between the Western and the Eastern).

1.The Western-style style of play is the grip method, which is characterized by strong spin but weak power.

2.The open play is a standing method that is characterized by stability, great force, fast ball speed, and easy balance of the body.

Let's talk about the grip method first:

1.Oriental style: The paddle face is placed vertically in front of the body (from your eyes, you can only see the side frame of the paddle, not the line), the grip is facing the body, and the right hand holds the handle in a handshake position.

When swinging the racket, the racket is just straight when it is delivered to the point of impact, and the shot is mostly flat. Advantages, suitable for beginners, relatively easy to exert force, no wrist movements. Disadvantages, it is easier to hit the ball in a draw, but there are more mistakes in the ball in a flat shot (it is easy to go to the net or out of bounds, because the flight arc is small).

2.Western-style: The racket is placed on the ground, and the hand hangs down directly to grab the racket, which is the Western-style grip, and when the racket is swung, the racket is tilted about 30-40 degrees when it is sent to the hitting point.

Hitting the ball is mostly topspin. Advantages, the topspin ball is not easy to go out of bounds, easy to cross the net (high flight arc), the landing point control is relatively easy, the landing jump is high, the forward rush is fast, the disadvantages, because there is a rotating component, the flight speed is slow, and there are certain requirements for the wrist. It is more difficult to grasp the point of impact than in the Eastern style.

3.Continental style: the hand hangs on the side of the body, the racket is held vertically, the racket face, and the arm are in the same plane, which is the continental grip, which is mainly used for volleying, cutting down the spin ball, and serving.

Advantages: You can play a forehand and backhand volley without changing the racket face, it is easier to play downspin, and the serve is easier to cut and topspin. Cons:

It is not easy to volley the ball, and it is not suitable for a strong attack from the baseline.

4.**Semi-Western grip: It is a common grip method used by high-ranking professional players, which is between the Eastern and Western styles, which is easier to rotate, and can also be convenient and flexible. It is suitable for players who may learn.

The characteristic of the Western-style play is that it can swing the ball very much, and the open-ended style of play reduces the requirements for foot shift, which can save a lot of steps.
