Hi people,
I never had any coach, like many, what I know is by reading online.
So sorry if this questions are silly
For the last year I practiced a loose and relaxed grip(with the fingers barely adding any pressure at all) approach and found that I am faster and my backhand improved a lot too, but its not all advantages for me:
1 — with the loose grip my forehand top spin Has considerable less spin, I just can’t add as much spin and I tried many different ways, but its quicker with more speed and less recovery time.
2 — my backhand improves a lot, as well as my banana flip
3 — i have less consistency, specially with my short serve receives and transitioning from backhand to forehand etc
with a more solid grip, not pressing too hard, just adding a little grip with all the fingers:
1- I have more confidence in all aspects of the game except the backhand becomes much worse and I can't banana flip at all.
2- I can add incredible amounts of spin from the forehand but I lose speed and power.
So basically should I be changing my grip depending on the shots I make or should I try to find a middle point? I only practice 2 times per week with competitions at the weekends.
Thanks guys
