Hi everyone....
I've been out of the game for just over a week now, so have nothing to do but think about my "game".
I use a strong SW forehand grip.
For 20 odd years, I use a conti grip with a slight twist towards eFOREhand for a heavy underspin slice backhand. It's also close to my favored volleying grip.
I used to use a conti with slight eastern flavor 1hbh topspin grip, but.....
Lately, I can "find" the correct 1hbh topspin grip if I use a slightly stronger grip, almost a full eastern backhand, the grip similar to Stan, Roger, and Nicolas. NO, it don't hit like them.
Anyways, for most prep position, I use my strong SW grip.
The question, should I work on going just that tiny 1/4 grip change to topspin backhand grip? Or should I rotate the racket thru eastern forehand, thru continental forehand, and then stop at eastern Backhand, for returning serves with topspin?
I know the former should be much quicker.
What do Stan, Roger, Nico, and Richard do?
