Do most beginners serve this way?
For a long time, my Serve Grip has been somewhat of an extreme Eastern or Eastern Forehand grip with minimal, if any pronation.
I now realize a continental grip is common place because of the wrist motion (or pronation) it allows. I tried using this grip for the first time yesterday and the motion was very unnatural and I had a hard time serving with Control / Accuracy and Power.
Two questions.
1. Do any (good) players serve with an Eastern or Extreme Eastern forehand?
2. What are some techniques the can be learned, to help transition From a eastern Serve grip to a Continental grip?
