The W-Grip

[PenHoldSandro]

This is a really odd grip I've seen some people use, and it usually has the thumb and pointer on the forehand side of the racket and the other three on the back, making a W with the three. Also, this goes well in tandem to Shakehand, maybe allowing for a quick style switch. Does anyone here have any experiences on this grip? If not, I suggest you try it! It's quite interesting

From everyone I've seen playing, this grip has a pretty strong forehand but weak backhand.

You're talking about the Seemiller grip?

You're talking about the Seemiller grip?

the way hes describing the grip it sounds like........ the penhold grip (the common "incorrect" grip with 3 fingers splayed out onto the back)

No, it's something else entirely, try it out and tell me the results

yep the three being: index, middle, and ring.
The ones on the forehand are the thumb and little

not a good grip honestly

stable forehand yes, worse than the conventional CPEN grip in everything else

yeah fair enough, but it can be used along with shakehand for that 'smash' when needed ig.

no reason to switch when the shakehand grip is good at smashing already

Oh, it's Eli Ho! Hes a great player and the next gen of Seemillers. He has a fun style, able to use both backhand as inverted and backhand as long pips, confusing the opponent easily. It's quite a powerful grip when used right.
