Semi western vs western: harshness

[anubis]

Is either grip more inherently stressful for the wrist? I think of semi western as giving you the ability to hit more flat shots. Full western produces a much more spin-oriented shot.

W is more harsh

Stands to reason, the stronger the grip, the more harsh.
E might be easiest on the body.
Conti, would be, but only in slicing.

Nadal uses semi-western and does not appear to lack for topspin generation.

Usually western would be worse on the wrist.
