There’s a right way to hold your racket when you play tennis. Changing how you hold your racket can change how well you hit the ball. Well, Pantech wants to teach you how to hold your racket properly.
Your grip is how you hold your racket. Using the correct grip allows you to drive the ball more straight and harder. If you hold your racket too tightly, or too loosely, you could miss the ball or hit it wrong. To play tennis better, you also need to practice how to hold your racket correctly.
Choose the right grip size when you select a racket. Grip size: how thick the handle is. An excessively large or small grip inhibits holding the racket comfortably. To determine the correct grip size, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the bottom crease of your palm. This will guide you in how to select the correct grip size based on your hand.
Now that you have the grip size you need, next is the grip technique that you should use when you play tennis. Depending upon the shot you`re trying to make, there are various grips you can utilize. For instance, the Eastern forehand grip suits powerful shots, and for serving the Continental grip is superb. You can make a difference on the tennis court by learning and practicing different grips.
Grip pressure refers to how tightly you hold your racket when you strike the ball. If you grip it too tightly, your swing may become jerky. If you hold it too loosely you may lose control of the ball. Grip pressure becomes the balance between hitting the ball to its fullest potential, as well as its desired speed. Experiment with different grip rests to find what works for you.
For a comfortable, stable grip on your racket, ensure you grip with a relaxed hand. Gently wrap your fingers and thumb around the grip, but don’t squeeze too hard. When striking the ball, do not let your wrist loose. You can also put an overgrip on it to soften it or aid your grip. During a match, make sure to check your grip to verify whether it feels well or not.
