Ever since I picked up a racquet the Western FH grip just seemed most natural to me, so that's what I stuck with. As I progress I'm finding that I'm hitting too much spin, and not getting enough pace on my balls.
A lot of the time I think it's because I'm just hitting it too late and not hitting far enough out in front of me, and the racquet face is just too closed. If I'm even the slightest bit rushed, a lot of times I'll hit a really weak loopy shot that hits the net or barely makes it over.
I actually want to move away from the Western and move more towards a SW FH grip, but I'm finding it very difficult for whatever reason. It feels really awkward and I always gravitate back to a full western, even after practicing the SW quite a bit.
Should I just focus on my timing and hitting the ball earlier and further in front, or should I just keep practicing using a SW instead? I just can't make up my mind. I'm sure I'll get it eventually but it's just frustrating ...
