While there are many ways to hold the racket and hit your groundstrokes there are just a few different tennis grips that allow you to hit effortless forehands and backhands.
The video above shows you a simple way to find a semi-western forehand grip, an eastern backhand grip and combination of an eastern and a continental grips for a two-handed backhand.
You can also learn how to quickly and easily switch a grip from a forehand to the one-handed or two-handed backhand grip by using your non-dominant hand which is doing all the work.
By combining shoulder turn with the racquet turn you get a very easy and natural change of grip without even doing much. - กีฬา
The techniques you give for finding the semi western grip and the Eastern backhand grip work really well.
But the photo you show of the semi western grip is clearly the eastern grip, with the knuckle on bevel 3.
Also, in the video showing switching from semi Western forehand to eastern backhand, the forehand grip you start with is clearly the eastern forehand grip, again with the knuckle on bevel 3. This is confirmed by the orientation of the racket head, which is perpendicular to the camera, whereas with a semi western grip, the racket head is more closed and points more toward the camera or perhaps at a 45 degree angle.
A suggestion: when switching from the semi western forehand to the Eastern backhand grip, instead of rotating the racket counterclockwise, switching 3 bevels from bevel 4 to bevel 1, it is much easier and quicker to simply switch from bevel 4 to bevel 5, since bevel 5 is the mirror image of bevel 1.
I finally found what I looked for! A short video about all the grips and grip changings. Thanks!
That's my question too
He is holding hammer grip on one handed backend, not the pistol grip
Tomaz, thank you so much!!!! I have never had this explained to me so well. I have just begun playing last summer, and I was so confused about changing my grip. I will try this tonight during my tennis time with my friends. Thank you I again!!!!
I really enjoy your channel. You teach by demonstrating how technique is derived from the actual shot making. You dont just give us text book rules.
great tips, I will definitely incorporate them in my game
Awesome
description..just looking for best way and found one here.Thanks for uploading video
It's really insightful that you pointed out how the contact point is closely related to the grip.
Perfect! That's the puzzle piece I've been looking for!
Really informative video. And very helpful. Thanks
Hi Tomaz. First of all, thank you for the best tennis lessons to be found on the internet, i always complete the lessons that i take here in Brazil with your online drills tips. I have one little question for you: witch one is better, to wait the ball with a continental grip, and then switch to eastern or semi western if you are going to hit a forehand, or the other way arround? Thank you.
Thanks, finally I understood how to change grips in your clear demonstration
Thanks Tomaz, this really helps me to clear up the question I was thinking
Great tutorial Thomas. Thanks heaps. It helps a lot
Great info. I have been in trouble regarding this, and I'll try this in my living room. Thank you.
I know this video is old, but thank you for explaining how to change grips mid-point. I have recently changed to a semi-western FH and eastern BH and can hit them well against the ball machine, but have struggled finding my grips quickly (particularly the FH) during matches and live drills, leading to a lot of unforced errors. This approach makes a lot of sense and I look forward to practicing in my living room...
Same issue with me
This is the first time I became confident about my grips. Thanks !
Your training is just amazing 🤩
Hi Tomaz, really a great video, thxs a lot for the tips. I want to ask if you could make a video about one of the most feel-like strikes of the game: the drop shot. When ever I play tennis and i make one it end up rather bouncing to high or in the net most of the time. (sorry for bad english :P)
interesting tip, I'll give it a try
I am a little confused as the forehand grip you have shown is labelled semi-western however your knuckle is clearly on bevel 3 which according to every other source on the internet is an eastern grip. Have you made a mistake here? Thanks by the way for all your very insightful videos - I find them to be extremely valuable!
Thank you for the tips :)
Tomaz, for a next video, could you talk about strings? showing the difference between and how it afects ours strokes. Thanks, and great content!
Perly M. Strings don’t affect your strokes at all. The racket could possibly have some affect given different weights etc.
wow! I had no idea that grips change between forehand and backhand!!!
Great video.
As a one-handed backhander I find my forehand and backhand grips as follows: First I try very hard to discern if the ball is coming on the forehand side or the backhand side.
Then I use my non dominant hand to simply “show the mirror” to the side-fence of that side. Tip of the racquet always points to the sky. My dominant hand grip automatically falls into place.
Finally, higher the ball, higher is my mirror which automatically makes the grip slightly more modern(tip pointing slightly forward) and semi-westernish which wood for higher balls I guess😅.
So far it has been working. But it looks like am going to be a student for a long long time. 😂
Looks like a forehand eastern grip with your 1st knuckle on the 3rd bevel
Great content
Hey Tomaz, so in setting up for return of serve, do you set up with your preferred backhand or forehand grip? or do you adjust depending on the server's tendencies to hit it to either side?
When I was a child we were always taught to go with back hand grip. I suppose there might not be a right way, just a matter of what you are more comfortable with.
WONDERFUL TEACHER
Concerning two-handed backhand.. I also teach my daughter to do the same thing as your instruction. I have found some players, especially female athletes, getting ready with the backhand grip and changing grip into forehand for a forehand ball. Which do you think is more efficient? As a one hand backhand player, i would appreciate your idea.
I use the same grip for any stroke until I see this video. Thank You.
Where do you hold the racquet ? Is it right at the end, with your palm extending beyond the end or the end of the racquet should be extending beyond ?
Yogiism if you want to get good at changing grips, change grips. It also helps to know what grips work for what strokes.
Thank you
Semiwestern or eastern forhand ? Which one do you advise?
这个太有用了，刚入门的我都不知道要换握拍
Could you add a video showing what grip(s) to use on return of service. For example, do you recommended an eastern grip for both the dominant and non-dominant hand on a two-handed return. It seems like the pros have both their left and right hands prepared as an eastern for either side - then they only switch the right hand tot a continental when they go to the backhand side (if they are right handed). Similarly, if one starts with a continental grip with the right hand then does that person switch to the eastern for both the left and right on a return of service. I for one don't want to return serve with a continental forehand. Thanks
What I meant by the Similarly comment relates to a one handed service return. In other words, what grips to use for a one-handed return and what to use for a two-handed return.
pretty cool
Hi Tomaž, thanks so much for the videos. My game really has improved with your help. 2 questions: I'm using the continental grip from your 7-steps to the perfect serve vid, how do I quickly change from that to a 'ready' position here? 2nd Q, could I request a video on where to stand, (place yourself), for hitting returns? I'm either hitting too soon or not positioning myself correctly so I'd like your advice. Thanks again, really enjoy your videos. G
There is more than enough time to change from a Continental on a serve to a forehand in the ready position. Don't think, it will just happen. As for returns, there are no rules. If it's too fast for you, step further back. Your outside foot should be aligned with the singles sideline.
终于明白了！！之前一直以为握拍姿势是不变的……我真傻
Sometimes when I switch from semi western fh grip to single handed backhand grip by holding racket's throat with my left hand (I am right-handed) and turning it with my left hand is not enough to get the right bh grip. I can't turn it enough and racket face is too open then I hit the ball too high and ball goes long. I need to find a solution, any suggestions?
You could turn your hand clockwise one bevel instead of going the long way round. Or you could move your forehand grip a tiny bit closer to a western grip (making it the same as your backhand grip) and then you won’t have trouble moving it not far enough. Hope this helps :)
I'm trying tô change my grip from easter to semiwester, do know drills to help the change?
Thank you
Set your grip to semi-western and play a lot of mini tennis and also midi (3/4 distance) tennis to get used to it.
Does a person's height makes a grip more suitable than another ?
Ahmed Serag
i would say how comfortable are you
I don't know i'm just quite newby
The picture of your backhand grip shows that your index finger is not spread up the grip like it is on your forehand grip is that on purpose
I have a western grip for 20 years and it still gives me troubles, can you teach how to switch from western to semi western grips , ? What are the steps in order to be comfortable with a new grip ? Thanks Tomaz
Hi, one thing you can try is choke up on the grip, meaning hold really high on the handle so that you can out your index finger into the throat / heart of the racket. You'll see that it will hurt if you try that with a western grip, but with a semi-western it will feel fine. So play mini tennis like that often. Also check this video: th-cam.com/video/KGWIg_UEncc/w-d-xo.html
genius!
Try to zoom your camera whenever you want to teach, specially on how to hold grips
Tomaz I have a question for you , when I play tennis and I hold the racquet for a FH stroke I hold the racquet with the grip called "Australian" and consist of holding the racquet in the middle of Continental and Eastern grip , with that grip I feel confortable and I get good accuracy and consistency and regularity in my forehand. Well my questios is: is there something wrong with that? Thank you in advance. By the way great tips coach.
Nothing wrong with that - as long as you can quickly and correctly switch to both the forehand and the backhand grips.
@@feeltennis Thank you Tomaz for your answer, my best regards.
