How To Hold A Tennis Racket And Feel The Grip

The usual instruction on how to hold a tennis racket correctly is typically based on how to place the V on the racket handle based on bevels or where to place the base knuckle of the index finger, but this does not yet help a tennis beginner feel why that's a correct grip. They may hold the racket correctly and still spray the balls all over the place.

In this video you'll learn the main reasons why players don't really feel the grip, what is the most natural grip for the forehand and the non-dominant hand of the two-handed backhand and what drills you can use to improve the feel for the grip.

The one-handed backhand grip is different as there is no exact analogy to the forehand grip so I'll make another video on the topic of the one-handed backhand grip.

The progressions shown in this video are very helpful when you're teaching tennis beginners on how to hold the racket correctly but also when you're correcting the grips especially on the two-handed backhand.
