While i was watching Queens on TV, the commentators started talking about forehand 'grips', calling them Eastern, Western FH grips.
id like to know, how do grips affect players shots and where do they buy them??
are they expensive( and only pros can buy them) or anyone can?
also whats the difference between, lets say, Eastern or Southern grips????

:haha: :haha:
You're so funny... I don't know whether this was a serious question or not. Still, is it so difficult to give an informative answer. It's not like the MTF is closed for those who don't know everything about tennis.

Re: Grips.



The forehand grip is the way that a player holds the racket when hitting a forehand stroke. The Continental FH grip is the least extreme, then the Eastern, Semi Western, Western and the most extreme is the Hawaian.
More extreme grips are better for producing shots with more topspin while less extreme grips are better for flatter shots.

P.S: Rofl at Southern grip :haha:

Western grips can be bought at Fort Bridger on the Oregon Trail.

Eastern grips are only available on the top of a magical mountain. It's a perilous journey, but on the positive side, next to the pro-shop lives a wise man who will answer 3 of your questions about the nature of the universe.

BINGO! Eebex is not nearly as original as he thinks he is. I think he knows this thread is a total rip-off.

well, if grips are that, then can you at least tell me the difference between the Northern and Southern grips,etc.?
You can stop now. No one is buying your little scam.
