Does the grip affect my gameplay
Strokes
George Brown Asked 9 years ago
I was wondering for general knowledge does using a certain grip enhance your play? Or can you be just as good with any grip?

Hi George,
Take a look at the lesson on Get a Grip for our thoughts on this.
As you will see there are a couple of options.
Getting your grip right is a really big part of development.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.

is it possible to post photos of different grip?
Hi Martinand,
If you look at our lesson on the grip I think it will show you the best options. Do you want to see something different with the grip? Just let me know.

yes forehand grip, backhand grip, neutral grip, the small differences, thanks.
Martinand we will talk about this tomorrow in the Ask the Coach Show #192. https://plus.google.com/events/c4jk9hagm0p67kn7prrjdikp22k
