Does the grip affect my gameplay

Strokes

 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.

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.
