ur probably reading old books...back then consistent top spin wasn't really played by anyone except borg, so they didnt really write about it. you're not exactly supposed to keep a loose wrist, but not a stiff wrist either

Great vid Brent.i use eastern...if you know how to do properly you can get a wicked topspin drive wtih a lot of whip...May i remind people of sampras
Good points. Even ... ( 3 months ago by intracoast)
Good points. Even older players down here in Florida use semi western grips. I don't know why anyone would teach an eastern grip as a topspin shot grip. As a put away, or agressive grip yes, but topspin. No.
wow that's great ... ( 3 months ago by rotario00)
wow that's great form. but using a semi western doesn't set yourself up for injury if you use great technique
Im being a little ... ( 3 months ago by IricForset)
Im being a little bias considering I use Eastern grip for forehand, but i think its the most versitile as it allows for torso rotation and different bounces. You can flatten it, whip it with topspin or when you get tight push it away from the body and still do an alright shot. Love to hear other thoughts on eastern forehand.
interesting and ... ( 3 months ago by christianpopgrrl)
interesting and helpful, but u need 2 do a close up of the grip and a slow mo of the swing. my coach told me 2 look the topspin up, and this is the first that came up. its... helpful.

very good tip but don't pause what you're saying between every time you are talking and then when the ball comes, you pause and after you hit it, you're pausing what you're saying and continuing. i play a lot of tennis and i skate. i'll subscribe
I always thought ... ( 3 weeks ago by kinkabala)
I always thought semi / western was the better grip because of the margin for error.
I used semi but found i could generate a helluva of spin from reverse forehand ala Nadal using eastern , I dont even know how the hell youd get power of western using western like Nadal does..

Mr.Abel can you put more spin on the ball if you snap your wrist when the ball is near the gut?

yeah this is 1970s sea stroke...and if these old timers had it their way everyone would be hitting the exact same way...my tennis coach is one of these guys....he doesn't know the meaning of hitting a ball flat. it's all topspin even at the most difficult of times, like a mad scramble at the net or a high looping forehand near the service line that could be crushed flat. If my tennis coach had it his way everyone would be hitting with the same racquets, the same clothes, with the same strokes.
