Sorry but I disagree with that entirely. Firstly the grip is defined by where the v shape between your thumb and forefinger lies on the racket and not how far round your knuckle is. You could have the knuckle in different places depending on the grip size of the racket. Secondly I don't...

I think a lot of people are mistaking his grip for a semi-western because they think his fingers are wrapped too far round for a continental. His grip size compared to his hands makes it look like this. If you look at his thumb coming over the top you will see that this is too far round the...
