  I use semi-western grip for forehand and the same grip and face for one-handed backhand. The only negative about this is if the ball is low or deep on your bh side, you're pretty much screwed unless you change to continental grip and slice it or play a two-handed backhand...which I also do😂😂

  They are not the most durable. However the look and no break in period makes up for it.

  I´ve had mine for a month now - and I absolutely love them. I´ve had my eye on the Asics Solution FF Speed for a while ( as an upgrade to my Asics Padel Pro 4 - which has been excellent ), but ultimately went for the Lacoste, and I haven´t had a single moment of regret! They are so comfortable, very fast and great support - they felt a tiny bit stiff out of the box, but after 4-6 hours of play, they were totally broken in... feels so soft and snug on my foot , and of furthermore really stylish - I´m probably gonna buy another pair of these, when mine are worn out.... currently no other shoe on the market I´d even consider over these!

  Slowing down the video, it looks like the racquet face is open at point of contact. That makes sense, or else the ball would never clear the net from such a low position.

•

  Less talk, more demo, slow motion would be helpful. Comparing to more horizontal racquet face would be interesting and varying point of contact.

  Great video, but about colors some people ( Chris from tennis warehouse, and tennis nerd) said that the clear colors it feel live in play, it means give you more poketing more felling about your shot more than the dark colors. me I try yonex polytour pro 1,30 (Yelow color) , and i like it give me more control, good poketing the ball. finaly, is the selinco hyper G have good poketing of the ball, I means the ball stay in the string??

• 
  @drtopspintennis6 ай бұрын

  I have tried the yonex polytour pro and keep going back to the solinco hyper G. It continues to be the most playable poly for my game. Most polys don't pocket the ball like a softer string, but hyper G does it the best (in my opinion).

  Unless you flip your racquet frequently, you'll also contact the ball on the same side of the racquet face leading to premature string breakage.

  @user-jv9qz2bu1r7 ай бұрын

  Coach - I say feet first - move the feet ti get into the position to hit the ball as cleanly as possible - is the ball to my FH or BH side? do I need to move L, R, Up or Back?? always I asked myself these questions - do I want to hit with topspin or slice? deep or short? angled or to baseline? etc

  The question is, why only play with one grip? I mean you have heaps of time when playing groundstrokes to change the grip. Hell Vic Braden even suggested changing grips on the volley.

  I don't think there is any advantage for anyone who's already on eastern or semi-western forehand/backhand to try to switch back to continental. There are reasons why McEnroe and Edberg were pretty much the only two who had successes with the grip in the open era. And they both are history.

• 
  @twinwankel7 ай бұрын

  There is no way to use the modern forehand with the continental grip. So you can't play or compete at an advanced level with it. Rec level is fine. So it depends on your ambition. I wouldn't use it.

•

  That is almost exactly what McEnroe's early coach told him. It's not for everyone, but I have seen it work at a high level for some.

  @@drtopspintennis Had McEnroe adopted his coach's suggestion and switched to eastern forehand, there is no telling if he could have ended up with a better career. But if you told a junior Iga or Sinner to switch to a continental forehand and backhand, you would have definitely ruined their career.

  @user-jv9qz2bu1r7 ай бұрын

  I heard that Edberg also used one grip - though I have not researched this enough. Recently I decided to start using the continental grip selectively - I have used a grip between Eastern FH and SW but I want to flatten out shots - I want more pace and a lower bounce. As you said, a Cont. grip is made for attacking tennis! the most exciting kind of tennis, in my book.

  Being able to change grips quickly is an important skill worth learning early on. You will have to change grips between serves, volleys and slices. Also, as you progress, chances are, your forehand or backhand changes (e.g. you might want to hit the ball flatter).

  Coach, can you get more pace/pop with Eastern grip over a semi western. I use a semi W grip but would like a little more pop = Pistol Pete Sampras used an Eastern grip. At least some of the time I intend on switching to the Eastern to hit a flatter faster shot.

• 
  @drtopspintennis8 ай бұрын

  You can definitely get more pace on an eastern grip; however your errors will go up more because of the lack of topspin.

  @@drtopspintennis if you do, remember that to win all those matches he had to break serve. Mac's return of serve, ground game, and tactics don't get enough respect. Example, on the return he would often try to go down the line, very aggressive, and on groundstrokes his cross court hard slice was a money shot. His lob was underrated too. Mac was much more than a slice serve to the ad court, what Bud Collins called The can=opener, and a volley to the open court, I hate Mac's antics and outbursts but his game at its peak was explosive, aggressive, and he deployed some of the best tactics of his day. BTW my favorite Mac match is the 1984 US Open SF match v. Connors. Have you seen it? Night time prime time match with the greatest announcing team ever - Tony Trabert, Pat Summerall, and John Newcomb. They had a camera set up low on the court behind the players so you could really get a great perspective on the shots. Only a handful of points separated the two combatants. Five set thriller!
