From continental to Hawaiian… here’s every grip you can use on a forehand 🎾

• Continental – old school, flatter contact, mainly used nowadays for slices and volleys

• Eastern – great all-round option, clean contact and easier to hit through the court

• Semi-Western – the modern standard. Heavy topspin, control, and versatility

• Full Western – extreme spin and higher contact point, but tougher on low balls

• Hawaiian – about as extreme as it gets and about as usable as a chocolate teapot 

There’s no “perfect” grip. The best one depends on your game style, physicality, and the type of ball you want to produce.

What grip do you use? 👇
