Here is how to make the grip:
1.Hold the racket in front of you
in your left hand (or right hand if you're a left-handed player).
2.Rotate the racket so that the
face (strings) of the racket is perpendicular to the ground.
3.Lay the palm of your free hand
flat on the face of the racket.
4.Move your palm toward your body,
down the shaft of the racket, until it hits the end of the handle.
5.Wrap your fingers around the handle
and space them slightly apart. Your thumb and forefinger should lie almost
directly on top of the handle, forming a V that points toward
your right shoulder (toward your left shoulder
if you're left-handed). Your thumb should lie across the top of the handle.
Tips: An eastern grip is also called a "handshake
grip" - it's like shaking hands with your racket. |
