5.1.11.3.Backhand Grip
- This grip is used to hit shots that are on the backhand side of your body.
- Hold the racket as you would on a forehand grip.
- Turn the racket anti-clockwise so that the V shape moves leftwards.
- Place your thumb against the back bevel of the handle for greater leverage and power.
- The racket handle shall also rest loosely in your fingers.
- Can try shortening your grip and place it nearer to the shaft to increase control and accuracy when serving and hitting from the forecourt and midcourt.
