Grip strength

Strokes

martinand bernard Asked 13 years ago

Hi the coach I have seen vidéo, generally we grip too hard the bat in french we say like a bird in your hand, but when we hit the ball we have to grip a bit stronger no?

Hi Martinand,

I don't think you need to grip it too hard during your stroke. Your fingers will grip the bat as hard as you need to so that it doesn't fly away.
