PLease keep in mind that there are many acceptable variations of any grip....

Very nice pictures. Thanks for taking the time to take and upload them.

Nice Head racquet, by the way :)

I'd like to take this time to mention a certain thing about one grip modern tennis...

...it is possible to use one grip to hit both the forehand and the backhand.

The western forehand grip and the eastern single-handed backhand grip are actually the same!

Also the semiwestern Forehand and western backhand...

powergame... i think they are opposite...

Powergame, that's a nice looking racquet, but could you take some pictures of it without your ugly hand?

donnyz they arent opposite, you just use the same side to hit a forehand as you do to hit a backhand

its a paintjob

duuuuude. sweet racket. i have the same ones. got three of those beauts. they're so awesome. i love em. they're even better with rubber bands as dampeners. i love the feel and spin. and the power! WOW! THE POWER! actually, there's pretty little power in those rackets, i'm just really strong. =) or maybe the spirit of Safin resides in my rackets... hehehe

What are you talking about? ;)

Just a random thought, but everytime I see that racquet, my fingers cringe to the thought of stringing it with thick poly strings....

Sweet racquet nevertheless. Power Game, how hard is it to get deals with HEAD? I love that stick and wouldn't mind using the newer models either.

My wife just decided that there is someone geekier than I after she looked at this thread.

I'd also like to know... please enlighten me

Me? Why? I took these pics to help some kids with grips and I figured I might as well post them here so some people can benefit.
