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????
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.
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.
he didn't know something as simple as this, yet he goes around calling people who've made the wimbledon semifinals three freaking times 'grass clowns' :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.
Your apparant ignorence would be more believable if it were not for the fact that an almost identical thread was posted on the tennis warehouse forums last year.. [and I doubt there is any element of coincidence involved..]
I went to buy my northern grip yesterday at wal-mart and they were sold out
