1 - Grip
THEORY SECTION
- You should use a continental grip to allow you to get the strings facing the correct direction at the ball as well as to hit your volley with backspin.
- Hold the racket as you would hold a hammer.
- Hold the racket perpendicular to the ground and put in your serving hand.
- Grip the racket firmly.
- Test the grip by bouncing a ball on the bottom edge of the racket frame. It should feel as though you are slicing the ball in half.
