Question about grips

Anonymous

Professional
Have any of you played a "duct-tape deathmatch" basically you grab your racquet any way u want, and u duct tape ur hand securly onto it. By doing so, it forces you to hit with the same grip, testing the full ability of the player.
i was wondering if this ruins your grip, ive been playing a lot of these lately and am curious to know.
also, have any of you tried this battle method against another? how did u fair while playing with this form.

Well, I'd do perfectly fine with it; I use an eastern or full-western. It's basically a continental, but the racquet is rotated more to the right (I'm a righty). And I use this for serves, forehands, backhands, and volleys (but I don't volley much) so basically... It's what I do all the time, but I would love to hear others' responses as well.

Tying your hands securely??? Sounds like a fetish! I could direct you to a more appropriate board if you wish.LOL
