Hi Alois

I know that you should always have a relaxed grip but is it sometimes beneficial to use a firm grip when using LP?  For example, might hitting with a firm grip increase spin reversal?  Or does the rule of hitting with a loose grip apply to all rubbers in all situations?

Thanks

Hi Jisoo,

When you are punching the ball with Long Pimples, you can have a firmer grip but you can still do the stroke well with a relaxed grip.  So I guess the short answer is that you can have a relaxed grip for all of your shots.
