What are the three most basic grips for a tennis forehand grip?

Tennis strategy teaching, the correct grip of the racket.

When learning to play tennis, the first thing you come into contact with is how to hold the racket, which is a very important question. Because the grip directly affects the mastery of the technique, such as the flat stroke, topspin and cutting, these three playing styles are related to the grip. This is mainly due to the angle formed by the paddle face acting on the ball, resulting in flat shots, topspin and downspin.

At the same time, whether the racket is well held is the key to the scientific and rational use of power, which can make the ball have the greatest motivation. Because a long game requires thousands of swings, if you don't pay attention to the grip method, you can't do it. Therefore, when we first learn to play tennis, we should study how to hold the racket, so that the racket can generate the maximum power and the spin performance we need when hitting the ball.

Let's introduce the two grip methods that are commonly used at present: the first grip method, this grip method is called "handshake style", which means shaking hands with the racket. First, the racket surface is perpendicular to the ground (the handle is parallel to the ground), then the palm of the hand is completely flat on the handle, and gradually move back to the end of the handle to grip tightly, the sharp corner of the tiger's mouth is located in the middle and upper part of the handle, then the feeling of holding the racket is like shaking hands with someone, which is the grip method of playing the front racket.

When playing a reverse shot, you need to make a slight change, that is, the hand is rotated in the direction of the thumb, which is about one-sixth of the distance of the handle. At this time, the sharp corner of the tiger's mouth is on the upper left side of the handle, and the thumb is behind the racket.

The advantage of this grip method is that since the wrist is behind the racket, it is easy to use force when hitting the ballAnd because the fingers are fully extended on the handle, the sensation is sharp and flexible.

In addition, the paddle surface has a downward slope angle when hitting the ball, which is convenient for hitting the ball with aggressive force acting directly. The disadvantage is that the front and back shots need to be replaced, and beginners feel awkward at the beginning, and they will get used to it after a period of training.

The second grip method is relatively simple, and the front and back shots are not changed. The grip is the backhand grip of the first grip method. Its advantages are:

The front and back shots do not need to be changed, and they are suitable for close distance and fast net volleys. Since the wrist and the racket form a natural downward angle, the racket surface is straight and acts on the ball, which is suitable for sharp serve and high-pressure ball action. At the same time, due to the natural upward tilt of the paddle surface when hitting the ball, it is especially suitable for playing low balls.

The disadvantages are: when hitting the ball on the front shot, it requires greater wrist strength, and the wrist is more difficult; In addition, it is not suitable for playing high balls, and it is necessary to wait for the ball to land in a lower part before hitting back, relatively speaking, reducing the speed of the return and affecting the attack.

The grip is widely used, divided into two grips, forehand and backhand, can be used for high or low balls, forehand and backhand counterattacks, for balls of various heights, so and spin the ball has a wide range of applicability, and can effectively change the method to fight to ensure the results of the game.

Because of this grip posture, the ball is more smooth, and the sense of power is very strong, it is very accurate when hitting the ball, you can protect your hand joints, the racket surface and the ground are vertical, and it is more suitable for the best way to play.

When playing tennis, it will be easier to use this grip to exert force, and the effect is also better.

The tennis forehand grip mainly includes continental, eastern, and western (semi-western and super-western styles that evolved from this), and the backhand mainly includes one-handed backhand grip and two-handed backhand grip.

1. Characteristics of continental grip: hidden shirt.

Handling with a continental grip or a ceremonial tee or overhead ball is the standard way. This allows the forearms and wrists to swing naturally towards the point of impact. The result is less pressure arm with more explosive power and more agile shots.

The slightly open surface provided by this grip allows for downspin and better control, making it the best way to handle the ball in front of the net.

2. Characteristics of the Oriental forehand grip:

Usually the Oriental grip Wang Hui is used to learn the forehand. It's flexible, allowing players to easily hit topspin or more powerful flat shots or traversals. It can be quickly switched to other grip methods. The Oriental style is a smart choice for online players.
