Continental Backhand

[Feder]

I was wondering if any current pro uses a continental backhand with a semiwestern grip? Do any good pros still use a continental backhand? I was wondering because I am currently using a:

Continental Backhand/slice
Semi-western Forehand
Continental Serve

One of my friends told me to switch to a eastern backhand, do people currently use an eastern backhand? I know people like federer do, but I mean..Oh yeah I use a 1H backhand. So, I like the feel for a continental, but I dont want to be the only one using a continental backhand in tournys and stuff.

Who cares what grip you use. If it works for you, use it and don't care what other people think. I'd rather play better than look better.

Do you have any trouble with your topspin 1HBH using a continental grip?

If your backhand is working well for you and you can at least hold your own in a rally if an opponent chooses to relentlessly attack your backhand then why would you care if anyone else is using a continental backhand?


FWIW, I was taught the 1 hander with a continental grip almost 2 decades ago. I then changed to a semi-western backhand because of the type of game-style I wanted to play.
