5.1.11.2.Forehand Grip

• This grip is used to hit shots that are on the forehand side of your body and around the head shots.
• Hold the racket head with your non-playing hand so that the handle points towards you.
• Your racket face shall be perpendicular to the floor.
• Place your playing hand on the handle as if you are shaking hands with it.
• There shall be a V shape in between your thumb and your index finger.
• The racket handle shall rest loosely in your fingers for greater flexibility.
• 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.
