I have been playing tennis for about a year and a half now, and had some questions on ground strokes...
1) How are the loop backswings different from straight backswings other than how they look (obviously)
2) Do certain grips (say eastern grip or western grip) favor certain back swings?
3) This question is kinda hard to explain but... hmm like when you hit the ball... do you have your arm swing forward so that it feels like your arm is turning your body... or do you turn your body first so that the arm is kinda following from that then you go on with the follow through? (get it?)
4) And a question on grips for 2 hand backhand... the right hand... what are the differences between if i hold the racquet with a continental grip or a eastern(or is it western.... having your index finger knuckle at the 12 oclock position of the grip) grip?
hmm sorry if I'm asking too beginner of questions, and thanks in advance for the responses!
